I’m not much of a television watcher. My roommates over the years will attest to that. Despite the fact that I absolutely adore watching television outside, I rarely find myself on the couch killing an evening in front of the tube. I’d rather be engaged in some combination of reading, drinking, tinkering, gaming, drinking. Oddly enough, though, my wife and I got to thinking about the various tv series where we have seen nearly every episode, and my list was pretty high, or at least, higher than I thought it would be. So here, in no particular order, are the series where I have seen every episode:
The Office (OMG, like 10 times each!)
30 Rock
Parks and Recreation
Glee
The Cosby Show
Cheers
Moonlighting (the above three courtesy of Nick at Night)
Night Court
Scrubs (yes, even the last season at the medical school)
Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip (I know it was only one season, but it was great, I’ve got it downloaded and I’ve watched it multiple times)
Seinfeld
House
The Big Bang Theory
Modern Family
Frasier
The Wonder Years (From Candace Cameron to Drew Barrymore to Natalie Portman to the counselor chick on Glee now that Natalie is preggers and thus unattractive, none will ever top Winnie Cooper)
NewsRadio
Roseanne
Entourage
Maybe that doesn’t seem like a lot to you, but it does to me, and I’m probably leaving off one or two. Thanks to Hulu and some “friends” of mine who lend me stuff over the internets, I’ve been able to obsess about a show without it really interfering much with my desire to not sit on the couch. Because I’m an obsessive person. So the weird thing is that if I were to expand that list to include all tv series where I’ve seen at least 10 episodes, the list wouldn’t grow by a whole lot. Sure, I’d be able to add Always Sunny (the best show ever created in my opinion), but most things I obsessively DON’T watch. Never saw a single full episode of Friends, ER, The Amazing Race, Sex in the City, Grey’s, PP, Desperate Housewives, Survivor, LOST, or any number of shows that some people casually watch.
I’m not a casual person, I guess. In for a dime, in for a dollar.
