Yeah, I don’t think I can begin to count. Since Netflix, I pretty much make sure I watch every episode. I don’t always watch them in order. But if I start to watch a program and I really like it, I’ll go back and start watching the episodes from the beginning (if available) until I’m caught up. ---

Hmm, probably not that many unless you count short-lived series. A lot of the long-runs I abandoned in the crappy later seasons. Seinfeld The IT Crowd Buffy Series like The Simpsons and Family Guy I have probably seen 99% of them, but I’m sure I have missed some recent ones. ---

Too many to list. I’m like **Alessan** - why not watch them all? Since my main mode of television watching for about 8 years now has been via torrent, any old show I’ve watched I’ve downloaded in its entirety. Some shows, like Scrubs, I started watching before they were off the air, but downloaded the previous shows to catch up to the current ones. I’d say there’s about 80 shows I’ve seen completely. My proudest achievement is every episode of **Law & Order** (the original series)! That was a lot of work! ---

> [@Alessan](#): > > Virtually every show I watch. > > I mean, if I like a show, why wouldn’t I watch every episode of it? For the most part, I agree. I’ve probably missed a couple of South Parks, Family Guys, and Simpsons over the years just because of how long-running those series are but generally I agree. In addition to the ones people have named, I’ll also add: **House Chuck How I Met Your Mother** ---

The only shows I’ve seen every episode of are ones I’ve watched on DVD. So that’d be: Firefly Babylon 5 (saw many of them first-run; filled in via DVD later) Avatar: The Last Airbender Battlestar Galactica (the new one) And I think that’s it. ---

Rewind The Ortegas Manchester Prep Septuplets Our Little Genius What do you mean, those don’t count as series? Every one of those was either on an announced Fox schedule or had commercials run on Fox for them. Never mind that none of them aired any episodes. (Okay, there’s an asterisk on Manchester Prep; the two episodes they did make were reworked into the direct-to-video Cruel Intentions 2.) ---
