For sure:

Freaks and Geeks  
Breaking Bad (Thank you, Netflix)  
The League

Pretty sure:  
Twilight Zone  
Seinfeld  
Gilligan’s Island  
Get Smart  
Gomer Pyle

Sadly, I wasted a lot of summer hours in the 80’s flopped on the couch watching reruns.

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen every episode of _Malcolm In The Middle_, some several times over, because TBS was running them for the longest time smack dab in the middle of my morning routine and my brother-in-law was fixated on them, so they were ALWAYS ON just when I was near the TV every morning. It got to the point where I knew which ones I HADN’T seen just because I didn’t recall seeing it two or three times in the last year. By the time they ended the syndication run, I could almost guarantee I’d seen them all.

How about shows where I’ve seen every episode at least twice and probably three times?

King Of Queens.

Two and a Half Men. It’s my husband’s favorite show (next to The Sopranos). The first seasons were pretty good, but we’re both shocked at how smutty it got, disappointed that Alan turned into an unapologetic leech, and sad that Jake didn’t get to be a chef.

Oh, lots! I’m sure I’ll miss a ton, but off the top of my head:

Game of Thrones  
Breaking Bad  
Carnivale  
Walking Dead  
Doctor Who (reboot, working on Classic)  
Battlestar Galactica  
Lost  
Arrested Development (well, I had seen them all until today)  
Rome  
Star Trek: TNG  
Babylon 5  
Crusade  
Fawlty Towers  
Father Ted  
Firefly  
Buffy  
Angel  
Dollhouse  
My Name is Earl  
Sex in the City  
The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr.

I \*think \*I skipped a couple episodes of Farscape because I was pregnant and the storyline involving a pregnancy was too upsetting, otherwise it would be on here.

I’ve also probably seen every episode of MASH and Three’s Company, and some other syndicated 70s shows that I can’t even remember right now, because my dad always watched reruns of that stuff while he cooked dinner.

> WKRP in Cincinnati

> _Blackadder_ (1 through 4)  
> _Fawlty Towers_ (All 12 episodes)  
> _Police Squad!_ (All six episodes)  
> _The Simpsons_ (However, I have missed a few minutes in a couple episodes.)

> \*Star Trek \*(TOS)  
> _Moonlighting_
> 
> Nearly all:  
> \*Hill Street Blues \*(There’s at least one episode from late in its last season that I missed because I was living somewhere without a TV and it was not repeated during the summer. Also, they never had HSB repeats in syndication where I lived so I never managed to catch up on it.)  
> _Mystery Science Theater 3000_ (I’ve only seen a few episodes from the first season but everything from season 2 afterward.)  
> _Late Night with David Letterman_ (I missed a few from the first two seasons but saw every show from 1984 until 1993 when Dave left for CBS.)  
> _The Sopranos_ (Everything after the “College” episode in the first season.)

Since this thread’s come back to life, here are a few I missed.

All episodes:  
_Barney Miller_  
_Newhart_ (when Bob was an innkeeper in Vermont)  
_Mork & Mindy_  
_The Critic_  
_Frasier_

Nearly all:  
_Saturday Night Live_ (I have seen substantial portions–if not all–of every episode from 1975 to 1980. I have only seen very little from the disasterous 1980-81 season and a little bit from the 1981-82 season. Since the 1982-83 season, I’ve seen every episode.)  
_SCTV_ (I didn’t see the show’s last season on Cinemax.)
