The original Star Trek (TOS). It’s been a long, long time since I’ve seen any of the episodes, and some I don’t think I’ve seen at all, which is probably a mortal sin for Trek fans. Looking at Shameless next. I can only do one series at a time. I also need to finish The Ranch, which was stupid, but I can’t leave it unfinished! ---

> [@Chimera](#): > > When the HIGH temp for the day is -10 after being -26 overnight, you don’t plan on going anywhere. Makes a nice relaxing day binge watching and cooking. Fair enough - but do you have a high of -10 “each and every day” like suggested in the OP? And unless you’re extremely far from the equator, I’m assuming those are celcius degrees? ---

I’ve been binge-watching COLUMBO, because (a) it’s apparently leaving Netflix at the end of the month, and (b) who knows if and when it’ll ever be back? ---

On my last trip abroad, I stayed up until four in the morning watching Season 5 of _ **A Place to Call Home** _ over two nights. When it first started, it was a really good series about a Holocaust survivor dealing with anti-Semitism. Now it’s gotten so soap-opera-y, it’s like watching the recent incarnation of _ **Dallas** _ all over again. ☹ ---

I don’t understand the OP and the rules. There’s apparently over 7 hours of stuff **IT** ’s list. And watching _at least_ 2 episodes of each per day, possibly 3 or 4??? There’s binge watching and then there’s biiiiinnnnggge watching. We do one episode a night of a drama and a comedy. Currently _[Scott & Bailey](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1843678/)_\* and _WKRP in Cincinnati_. No time to do more. And we’re retired. - Good grief. There’s an episode summary of the next episode we’re going to watch on the front page and it has an immense spoiler for the whole season-long story arc. Egad. Let me add the Wikipedia [link](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_%26_Bailey) for the show in case you want to dodge spoilers. ---

Sunday my wife and I binged season 2 of The Office (US version). It’s about ten years old now and some of the differences in technology and characterization are interesting. Flip phones and honking huge tube tvs as the norm. We had forgotten how outright racist Michael was in the early seasons and not just ignorant, but real racism. ---

Right now I’m binge-watching _ **ER** _. I never watched it while it was on the air, so this is my first viewing. I watched seasons 1 and 2 over the summer, and started season 3 a week or so ago; I’m about halfway through it. I put off starting this show because it’s not available on Netflix or Amazon Prime, and the seasons are pricey: I just paid $15 for the third season. But over the summer, iTunes had a thing where the pilot was available for free and the rest of the first season was only $9.99…and I fell for it. Those bastards knew what they were doing, because now I can’t imagine not finishing the series. You know, eventually. (15 seasons!! :eek:) I can see it being something I binge a season or two at a time. > [@Idle\_Thoughts](#): > > _ **How I Met Your Mother** _ I just finished binge re-watching that about a week ago. 🙂 I floundered for a replacement for a while, and re-watched a few favorite episodes of _The West Wing_, but then I remembered _ER_. ---

Binged the recent Netlix series **The OA** over the weekend. I’m about halfway through season 2 of **The Man In The High Castle** on Amazon. ---

Don’t have time to watch that much television on weekdays, but the past couple of weekends I’ve been catching up on _Timeless_ and the first season of _Eureka_. ---

Alfred Hitchcock presents (the 50s version) Twilight zone (60s version. there were 3 versions) I was binge watching Its always sunny but quit around season 5 for some reason. That show is great, I need to go back. I binge watched the US version of being human in a month. That was fun. ---

**That 70s Show** , **How I met your Mother** and **My Name Is Earl** are some of the great sitcoms of our time. Now I consider myself to be an expert of sitcoms, because I am, so you are in good company here. Me, or I, whichever is phonetically genetic, am watching the **Lucifer** and **Preacher** which just came in the mail from the Amaze On! I started to watch both shows but because of personal issues, (I had the “Not Carings.”) so I couldn’t watch anymore but now they’s out on the blue ray. So I afforded them and am blinking along to their glorious light. God Bless Pinkie Toes! ---

I’ve been watching Better Call Saul at about an episode a day, which is as bingey as I can get right now with a 4 year old. My wife and I have been running through Supergirl at about the same rate. It brings back fond memories of burning through Buffy with her at a season every two or three days on DVD. ---

The closest I get to binge-watching is 1 or 2 episodes per day, so by that definition I’m binge-watching _Avatar: The Last Airbender,_ after having bought the complete series box set for myself a couple weeks ago. ---

Just finished binging on _Preacher_, which was awesome. Between this and the pilot for _The Tick_ I am now thoroughly terrified of Jackie Earle Haley. Now watching _The Young Pope_, although I have to wait until the child is in bed as there’s a lot of random but very loud profanity involved. Next up will probably be _The Man in the High Castle_. ---

I’ve been too busy to be able to binge watch anything, but I’ve watched episode one of both “The Break” and “The OA” on Netflix. I have next week off though, so I hope to finish both of those then. ---

I’ve got the weekend off for the holidays, so I’m going to make a run at finishing season one of **The Man In The High Castle.** I stopped during a particularly stupid scene during the VA Day ep, but I’ll try to power through it. ---

I binge watched Baskets over the last few days. That was kind of weird. I’m not sure if I like it or not. It reminds me of Louie’s TV show. At first I didn’t get it or like it, but it grew on me. Maybe Baskets is the same. Right now I’m watching Horace & Pete. So far, not impressed. The writing (which Louie CK did) reminds me of something you’d see in a play put on by 14 year olds. So far not impressed, but still watching.
