Topic: How often do you watch the episodes of your favourite TV shows?

Sorry this poll is a little late - you can blame Santah and his addictive Nintendo DS game recommendations.

So this question is based around me being curious if other people rewatch the episodes of their favourite TV shows as much as I do.

For example, I'm rewatching Newsradio from beginning to end for what must be at least the 10th time.  I've lost count how many times I've watched my favourite episodes of Buffy, Angel, Firefly, Stargate, The West Wing, House, Doctor Who, CSI, Spaced, Coupling, QI... okay this list could last for pages, so I'll just stop here.

But I also know crazy people who watch episodes once and that's it - they see no point in watching them again.

Where do you stand?  Are there any episodes in particular you love to rewatch?  I once watched my favourite episode of Doctor Who (Blink) five times in one weekend.  But I'm somewhat of a freak, and slightly autistic.  wink

Hard question to answer. Once usually, but if its a really really good series or particular episode I'll watch it again... not 5 times in a row though ;P

During the writers strike I went back and re-watched the 5 series of Angel, and I expect I'll re-watch LOST when its finished.

It depends. I like to watch older shows like Buffy or Firefly 3-4 times. As for new shows, I only watch Supernatural and Chuck twice.

Re: How often do you watch the episodes of your favourite TV shows?

I don't intentionally sit down to re-watch something that I've already seen, especially if its a murder mystery style show.

BUT - I end up re-watching most or 'part-there-of' my shows due to my wife passing out on the night into a coma style sleep.
It's a good way to see how a story line and the acting holds up with a fresh dose of hindsight added.

I sleep through most or all of these tongue

Re: How often do you watch the episodes of your favourite TV shows?

I only rewatch episodes/shows when I'm with someone who hasn't seen 'em yet.

FYI:
My Name is Earl = re-watchable
Heroes = only good the first time through. horrible on round 2.

I've watched the whole Firefly series four times though...once solo, and then with 3 other people who had to be introduced to the awesomeness.

Re: How often do you watch the episodes of your favourite TV shows?

I watch things only once when they are new.

But I regularly go back and will watch whole seasons of things that I have already watched on first release.  Usually 1-2 years after the first run.   For instance I've just finished watching West Wing, the WHOLE thing that was running from Ep01 to Ep-Last on one of the pay-tv channels here.   But I've seen most of those at least 3-4 times now over the years, so I think that's it for WW.   But if they run Sopranos end-to-end, then I would watch that again.   It's been enough time since it ended for real.

Only once when they're new, normally...
Except for Southpark, I think I've seen the first 4 seasons 6 times now big_smile
(And The Movie like 15 times! yikes )

Friends is one of them rewatchable shows... seen them from first to last like 20 times.
Family Guy, Scrubs, Stargate... the list goes on.

...where did I put that rat's ass I could give?

Daemons are benevolent or benign nature spirits, beings of the same nature as both mortals and gods, similar to ghosts, chthonic heroes, spirit guides, forces of nature or the gods themselves.

Re: How often do you watch the episodes of your favourite TV shows?

I mostly only watch comedy shows more than once. South Park, Futurama and that kind of stuff. Other than that I only watch things once. I did see a couple of big brother and survivor episodes twice over though if I had a laugh riot the first time throug. Like the episode where Eliza got the immunity idol that was just a freaking stick. Im also probably going to watch OZ a second time through one of these days. Thats a really good show.

Series with a story (action, murder, detective, ...) certainly only once ... or you know what's going to happen and I hate that neutral

Only things I'm able to see again is funny stuff like Friends, Blackadder, ... You know whats gonna happen but it keeps being funny ^^

I agree with you for those two, especially Blackadder, and over here in the UK Friends is on twice a day everyday (must be at least it's 8th loop now!), and that's always an easy watch smile
