**Cheers Seinfeld Newsradio The Wire Arrested Development Flight of the Conchords** Near Misses: – **The Simpsons** (I actually may have seen every episode, but it’s probable that at least one has slipped through; I’ve definitely seen all of seasons 1-16). – **The West Wing** (missing one or two episodes in Season 6) – **Friends** There’s also a good chance I’ve seen the entire runs of a few crappy, short-lived sitcoms that happened to be next to shows I was watching religiously (I’ve seen way too many episodes of **Caroline in the City** , for instance). ---

**House, Lost, Desperate Housewives, Star Trek (all), M_A_S\*H, Supernatural.** That’s just off the top of my head. ---

None. In fact I just saw a Star Trek TOS episode today that I’d never seen before. As for anything from say 1980 on I’ve seen 0% to 50% of any show. ETA: TV sucks. Really it does. ---

Buffy, Angel, Gilmore Girls. I’m not counting shows still on the air, in which case it’d be a good few more. ---

**Firefly** , though it wasn’t hard. I watched the whole run of **Arrested Development** on Hulu, so I’m sure I’ve seen all of them. ---

I’ll copy a few of yours, **Varlos** , since I think we have similar tastes in shows! Cheers Seinfeld Newsradio Arrested Development _And add…_ 30 Rock All in the Family Yes Minister Yes Prime Minister The Office (UK and US) Good Neighbors / Good Life L.A. Law (pretty sure) Kids in the Hall Coupling (UK) The Brady Bunch Monty Python’s Flying Circus Star Trek: TNG and DS9 _Close but no cigar:_ M_A_S\*H - mostly missing the early seasons (don’t like pre-season 4 much) The Simpsons - only missing two or three episodes that I don’t really want to see Futurama - seen 'em all except _Jurassic Bark_, which I am procrastinating on watching Friends - mostly the last season The Cosby Show - just a couple of eps in the last season Roseanne - last two seasons only very sporadic; earlier seasons are practically memorized Frasier - mostly missing eps from last couple of seasons Torchwood - just missed a couple from the 2nd season American Gothic - never saw last two episodes Xena - two or three from 1st season, several from last season (hated it) Buffy - never saw most of final season Conclusion: I have watched entirely too much TV. ---

I have the DVDs of ‘West Wing’ and ‘Studio 60’. Plus ‘Murder One’. There were only 12 episodes of ‘Fawlty Towers’, so I’ve seen all of them. ---

M_A_S\*H, multiple times over, mainly due to syndication. For newer episodes, I often notice when something’s been removed to make room for more commercials. ---

> [@VarlosZ](#): > > **Cheers > Seinfeld > Newsradio > The Wire > Arrested Development > Flight of the Conchords** I knew there’d be a bunch that I forgot about. This thread has reminded me of: **Star Trek: The Next Generation The Critic Firefly Futurama Rome The Office** So, of the TV shows that I’ve devoted entire days (or weeks) to, I’d completely forgotten about at least half. Time well spent. ---

Ooh I forgot about: Fawlty Towers I Love Lucy Sports Night. Admittedly the first and third of these are fairly easy to see. With 200 or so eps, ILL is way more of an ‘accomplishment’ (dubious though some may think it). ---

All watched on DVD, so may not count as “viewed” since I wasn’t required to tune in at the right time. Dark Angel Friends (my wife loves it and got the monster boxed set when it came out) Firefly Battlestar Galactica (the old one; they used to run the couple of seasons they actually made all the time when I was a kid) I will watch the last season of The Wire sometime soon, ditto for Heroes, and I’ll catch up with BSG when the final season comes out on DVD.
