You people have a lot more free time than I do.

As for me

ST:TOS  
The Prisoner  
Police Squad

I’ve seen most of some other series more than once, but without the DVD set I couldn’t be sure. Most of ST:TNG but not all.

Going out on a limb - maybe they bought the DVD set? Or watch it on HBOGo (I assume it’s available there).

Oh, and Dr Who (last three doctors). I’ve also watched the first Red Dwarf season a few times. And someone mentioned HHGTTG, I consider that more of a miniseries but I’ve watched that a few times too. If we are counting miniseries, then I’ve watched The Lost Room at least five times if not more.

Mostly from TV repeats but all of the Treks I videoed off air and re-watched. Sky repeated NG, VOY and DS9 over and over.

ST:TOS  
ST:NG  
ST:VOY  
ST:DS9  
ST:ENT

Originally seen as a kid, and revisted at least once.  
Stingray  
Thunderbirds  
Captain Scarlet  
UFO  
(You notice, of course, the omission of Joe 90, ugh)  
Tom and Jerry (the Fred Quimby ones) this counts right?

Box sets UK:  
Spaced - this gets re-watched _frequently_  
The Hitch Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy - although I re-visit the original radio version far more often.  
The IT Crowd  
Black Books  
Jonathan Creek (may watch again in 10+ years once I’ve had time to forget the twists)  
Sherlock  
QI  
I obviously have the entire _ **Clangers** _ set, but that’s probably not quite what the OP had in mind.

US:  
The Rockford Files  
Monk  
Bones 1-5, I hear it started to SUCK BADLY after this  
Psych (recorded off air I’ve got everything we’ve had over here so far)  
House (recorded up to around series 6, got burned out a bit and I really don’t want to see the House/Cuddy ro-frackking-mance, if that indeed happened)  
I have Police Squad but _surely_ that’s too short to count?

Edit: Add The Big Bang Theory. But you probably guessed that.

Lordy, this makes it look like I do nothing but watch TV!

Six days, and nobody’s bit?

OK, fine, it’s not too short, and don’t call me Shirley.

Off the top of my head, probably quite a few cartoons, either of the saturday morning or afternoon after-school variety when I was growing up (and a lot of the sitcoms previously mentioned, from the days before cable). A year or two ago, I noticed one of the cartoon networks was showing “Wacky Races” right around my bedtime, and I ended up watching until I realized I had seen them all again multiple times.  
Blake’s 7 (would probably be viewed even more, if they’d ever release it on DVD in the US)  
Doctor Who, Doctors 3-5 (I think twice for pretty much all of their runs)  
Are You Being Served  
Sledge Hammer!  
The Muppet Show  
Special Unit 2  
The Original, True, Battlestar Galactica. Which means I saw the sequence of the Viper tracking blaster fire to track and destroy the Cylon ship about 20,000 times.

Coupling, the British version. I have seen it so many times and it always makes me laugh.
