Wow… I hate to think…

Not counting shows that have been on/were on for less than a full season:

Star Trek TOS  
Star Trek ENT  
Buffy The Vampire Slayer  
Angel  
Alias  
24  
West WIng  
Sopranos  
Six Feet Under  
Oz  
Carnivale  
Joan Of Arcadia  
Las Vegas  
Family Guy  
Futurama  
Dead Like Me  
X-Files  
Millenium  
The Shield  
Monk  
Dead Zone  
Blackadder

I think that might be it… there’s a bunch of others thar had really short runs, or got truncated suddenly, or are new, so I don’t count them. Firefly, John Doe and Tru Calling come to mind. New shows this season include Huff, Stargate Atlantis, Battlestar Galactica and Medical Investigation.

Wow. I should get a hobby or something.

I’ve seen every episode of _Fawlty Towers_ several times, but that’s not hard because there are only 12, they’ve been out on record / CD / video / DVD for years and the BBC repeat them every once in a while anyway. I reckon most Brits would say the same.

I also think I’ve seen every episode of _Mission: Impossible_ because when I was a kid (well, young teenager) it was my favourite show.

I haven’t seen every \*Seinfeld \* and for us Brits this was never possible because the BBC never treated the show with any love or respect and showed random episodes at graveyard slots. Now that they have started to release the DVDs, I will watch every single one. Have enjoyed the first two volumes (covering seasons 1-3) tremendously.

Limiting it to things that have shown on TV up here:

The longest I can confirm I’ve seen every episode would be Robotech - all 86 episodes.

Blackadder’s the only other one I can confirm I’ve seen them all that doesn’t fall into the below caveat - albiet barely.

Can confirm I’ve seen every episode (so far), but have less than, say, 20 episodes out there:

Firefly  
Stargate Atlantis  
Delta State  
Undergrads  
Clone High  
Battlestar Galactica\*  
Justice League Unlimited\*  
Zeroman  
Cybersix

- Every episode that’s aired up here. We’re rather behind you yanks on both.

A few I THINK I’ve seen them all, but can’t be sure:

MASH  
Family Guy  
Star Trek TOS, TNG and DS9  
Batman: TAS

Ones I’ve seen most, but not all:

Red Dwarf  
Enterprise  
The Wrong Coast
