Guess I’m the first Battlestar Galactica (new series) fan.

Also, Firefly, Saving Grace and Smallville.

Oh, I forgot BSG. Funny story too, when this series originally aired, it was on my drink’n night. I’d always watch this show with (what I thought was) a slight buzz.

The second time around, I watched it completely sober. It didn’t take long for me to realize, I missed about 20 to 30% of what was going on. :smack:

Embarrassing, but in a way it was kind of cool as I had a whole new show to watch.

I am so impressed with you people’s TV watching abilities.

I have yet to tackle a re-watch of any shows with hour-long episodes, or long episode counts.

“The Prisoner” with Patrick McGoohan, probably around twelve times.

“UFO” (the Gerry Anderson series with all the cool miniatures work) three times.

Sopranos. Also, I’ve probably seen every episode of 30 Rock and Arrested Development twice, but I can’t be sure. Of Scrubs and The Office, I’ve seen all of the early seasons twice, at least, but not the later ones (after Michael leaves, and the interns vehicle).

The only ones I’m absolutely sure of are “The Young Ones” and “Mr. Show.”

Hmmm. There seems to be an overload of comedy here, but I can remember only one non-comedy series:

Pride and Prejudice (the BBC mini-series)

If you’re counting documentaries:

All the BBC’s “Life” series  
Planet Earth  
Most of Mythbusters

Rome and Band of Brothers, twice each. I watched most of The Wire twice but quit on the second viewing of season five (that’s the newspaper one, right?)

I may have seen all the episodes of M_A_S\*H, Seinfeld, The Young Ones, Monty Python’s Flying Circus (season four didn’t get shown as much as the others, though) or Hogan’s Heroes twice on broadcast TV.

Ones I’ve intentionally watched multiple times in order:

**Firefly  
Babylon 5  
Band of Brothers  
Venture Bros. (what’s out so far)  
Metalocalypse (what’s out so far)  
Futurama (what’s out so far)  
Red Dwarf  
Rome  
Game of Thrones (what’s out so far)**

Shows that I’ve probably seen every episode more than once, but not necessarily in order, and not intentionally.

**ST:TNG  
Big Bang Theory (first few seasons- what’s on syndication)  
Brady Bunch  
Bewitched  
ST:TOS  
Mythbusters (what’s out so far)**

At Casa de Lightnin’, we rewatch Firefly about every six months. That’s the only series that we rewatch, though.
