I used to be a complete TV addict. There was a point in time where I had seen every episode of these series multiple times, but I haven’t been watching them faithfully in the past 2 years:

Law and Order  
Law and Order: SVU  
Gilmore Girls  
ER  
Judging Amy  
The Simpsons

These I have seen all the episodes of, but then again, some of them are from before I was born:

M_A_S\*H  
Golden Girls  
The Waltons  
The Nanny

M_A_S\*H  
BtVS  
Angel  
Magnum, P.I.  
The Young Riders  
Connections 1 & 2  
Star Trek - The Original Series

That doesn’t count short series like Dancing With the Stars, or PBS species like 1900’s House, which seem too short to count. And there are probably many others that escape me right now.

I have seen every episode of most shows I am a fan of. I don’t watch a lot of TV but the shows I like I like a LOT, so I try not to miss any episodes.

A fairly complete list:  
The Simpsons  
Futurama  
Family Guy (isn’t it weird how so many lists have these three shows on them?)  
Arrested Development  
Seinfeld  
The Critic  
Roseanne  
Lots of one-season shows: Clerks, Andy Richter Controls the Universe, Mission Hill, The Oblongs

I used to be able to say this about Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Sealab 2021, Monk, and South Park, but then I moved to an apartment without cable. I’ve got my mom taping some of this stuff though, so I can watch it when I go back home for a visit, so the streak isn’t totally broken.

It’s not true for The Daily Show or Late Night with Conan O’Brien, even though those are two of my favorite shows. There are just too many episodes of each of them. And anyway I can’t watch TDS anymore.

Chobits  
Shoujo Kakumei Utena

Short attention span, me. ☹

I don’t think I’ve seen an entire English-language series. _Maybe_ the Smurfs? I was obsessed with them until I was ten. The only other one I can think of is Barba Papa, but I think that was french?

I forgot **In Living Color**.

Not only have I seen them all, I recognize just about every sketch, and can probably half the dialogue verbatim.

_Hey mon, got to go to work!_

And the only one I haven’t seen mentioned here yet…

Lois and Clark: the New Adventures of Superman (88 episodes)

It’s actually the only series I have the complete set of on video tape. I only discovered it after it went into syndication, and since it was on while I was at work, I taped it every day, starting from the very beginning. The only ones that are out of order are a couple of the Christmas episodes, but they’re all there, each and every one of them.
