**CSI** Not sure if **24** counts for me. I missed season one entirely then saw it on dvd before season 2 started. ---

This is easier in the UK, where a ‘series’ is often only 6 episodes (or even fewer). For example, I’ve seen every _Fawlty Towers_, but then again most everyone has, and there were only 12 made. However, for shows that have sufficient episodes to make the claim worthwhile, my only one would be _Mission Impossible_. When I was very much younger, I thought this was the best show ever, and I saw every single episode. ---

Off the top of my head: Police Squad! (someone has to put this series out on DVD) Penn & Teller’s Bullshit! (someone has to put this show into prime time) Transformers (though I admit there are episodes I wish to forget) The Weird Al Show Mighty Orbots (_definitely_ needs a DVD collection) The Twilight Zone Monty Python’s Flying Circus All In the Family GIlligan’s Island ---

West Wing is the only one I can think of. Except, I haven’t missed an episode of SNL since 1992 or so. The ones I’m not home for, I either tape, or catch in reruns. But I can’t claim to have seen the show’s entire run. ---

Fawlty Towers Monty Python The Rockford Files Cracker (the British one) Homicide Nero Wolfe (the new cancelled one) I wish I could say MST3K but sadly I’ve missed a bunch of them. ---

Hmmm – I forgot **Blackadder** and **The Prisoner**. Also (if it counts) the James Burke series – **Connections** and **The Day the Universe Changed** , but I’m not sure I caught every episode of the later Connections series. ---

Seinfeld is the only one I have gone down a list and checked EVERY episode. Friends was also on my list until this season. I’ve missed a couple of episodes. Same with the Simpsons. I can’t wait until I can catch up on a few Scrubs episodes I’ve missed. Now that they are on Adult Swim, I’ll add Family Guy and Futurama to my list. ---

Seinfeld ST:TOS ST:TNG ST:DS9 ST:VOY – a struggle, to be sure. ST:ENT Simpsons Living Color Futurama Family Guy Trading Spaces – do you have any idea how many of these there are? While You Were Out Faking It – copout. Only 4 made as a pilot for TLC. What Not To Wear Crossing Jordan – my soap opera Third Watch – my brother’s soap opera Law & Order Law & Order: Crime and Punishment Roseanne All-American Girl The Cosby Show Different World Ellen Will & Grace Probably several more I don’t remember. God, I’m a loser. With a lot of TiVo Season Passes. ---
