Simpsons  
Friends  
Futurama

Older shows like The Honeymooners and M_A_S\*H

Iwatched every single episode of Battlestar Galactica and Buck Rogers when they were on.

And, I hate to admit it, but I have watched every single American Idol episode so far.

Not too many

**Star Trek** (Original Series)

**Police Squad**

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen all episodes of **The Dick Van Dyke Show** and **Outer Limits** and **The Twilight Zone** (original series in all cases – including the one-hour Twilight Zones).

Seinfeld.  
Newsradio

Probably ST:TNG.

I can’t say The Simpsons, Friends or That 70s Show because generally a few times a season I’ll forget that they’re on and miss a show. It usually doesn’t take too long to catch them though.

This includes series which have recently-broadcast episodes I’ve got in my TiVo buffer but which I haven’t watched yet.

Buffy (I though the finale was great, BTW)  
Futurama  
Sports Night  
Star Trek  
Star Trek: TNG  
Star Trek: Voyager  
Enterprise  
(I’m 16 eps away from DS9)  
Sopranos  
Six Feet Under

I think that’s it – I haven’t kept track of Seinfeld, but there are probably a handful of eps I haven’t seen.

Buffy is the only show that I watched/taped religiously during it’s original broadcast. I never missed a show! I had never missed a Survivor episode until this season.

I’m sure there are some other series that I’ve seen every episode…the original Star Trek comes to mind. There were only 70 something episodes and it’s been in syndication since I was a kid.

</div>

1. Survivor 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. I missed on ep. in season 1 and the vcr didn’t work(it’s the one where Jenna got kicked).

2. Amazing Race 1, 2, and 3.

3. Mole 1 and 2. I missed one of Celebrity Mole.

4. Farscape(Best. Show. Ever).

5. Buffy(thank you, FX).

6. First Wave.

7. M_A_S\*H(pretty sure, possible I missed a couple).

8. Alias

There are plenty of othes shows with short runs I’ve seen all of(Firefly, EcoChallenge, etc.) but I really can’t count them.

I have missed one episode of Bablyon 5(Bester’s second appearance), one episode of 24(one from the first season…toward the middle), one of Angel(where he wears a Hawaiian shirt I’m told), and that’s about it.

_ **The Naked Gun** _ (only 6 episodes, IIRC)  
_ **Blackadder** _ (got 'em all on tape)

I imagine I’ve seen 99% of _The Simpsons_ & _Star Trek_ (the original series), but I can’t be certain I’ve seen every single one.
