TV/Tellie you don't want to miss?

[Geordie]

What's your favorite TV show?

For me, it's the Noose.

 

[Gomendosi]

What shows have you been watching that you couldn?t miss an episode of? If you did miss an episode would you download it to catch up?
Is there any show that you've seen every single episode of? Even after you?ve seen all episodes, did you then have to own the DVD's?

I sold my entire DVD collection a few years ago. I did used to do this anime series though, NGE was quite good.

I don't really care for being at home and watching tv for series. My tv is on about an hour a week. However, I watched quite a few series in my life. But most of em are really slow to me, in the way that the "once a week"-pace doesn't cut it for me. I'm the type of guy that sits down and watches 20 hours straight for a day (and would probably just skip sleep). And also, there's some series that I've watched long enough to at some point realise it's not interesting anymore.

I watched the first 20 seasons of the simpsons a few years ago, within 1,5 month. And I still was attending university then. So I did miss out on some sleep, lol. But after those I caught up until where they were back then (in 2007 or so), I wanted to go on at a pace like I was, and that was, along with the reason that I didn't think it was that good anymore since a few seasons, a good reason to not follow it anymore.

I watched Desperate housewives for a while, but that was when I had to catch up cause I got into it later. Also here, that change of not having that rigorous schedule of watching it is a big letdown for me. And if I rather finish up series than remind myself "oh, I was watching this". Especially if there's a big plot going on through multiple seasons.

Series I did watch and finish (until where they are now); Max Headroom, Dexter, The Sarah Conner Chronicles, Pushing Daisies, Heroes, The Inside, The 4400, Twin Peaks, Transformers G1 (so actually the US/European shows. Never got into the Japanese). Carnivale, Futurama, The Big Bang Theory, Louie, True blood, Firefly, Life with Louie, Reaper and I've probably seen everything Beavis & Butt-head.

Recently I went through 9 seasons of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (185 episodes; in a week). The 10th is really hard to come by, but I'll surely check that out if I can get it somewhere.

There's a few series I'm holding off for now. Those being Californication and The walking dead. I'll watch those when the seasons are done, and watch a season back to back over a day or so. Yeah, and Warehouse 13, I liked the first season, so I'll keep that in the back for when I have no clue what I can watch.

Might have forgotten some series, but that's a rough outline of what I watched. The biggest problem I have, and I kinda learned from that. The 4400, Heroes, Firefly, The inside, Pushing Daisies and Carnivale all got cancelled at some point. It really depends on if they know that in advance if the series is worth watching and the creators make a decent end. The 4400 was cancelled somewhere after a season, so they didn't have an end to it. Heroes, same. Carnivale... those are books, so I might read those. Firefly did get an awesome movie though.

As for owning DVD's... I have 2 seasons of Heroes. That's all.

I do have a thing with the CSI series... those are really the only fillers I might have to just watch as an off-episode.

 

[Flinty]

The only TV that I can't miss right now is The Amazing Race. I've actually stopped watching scripted television.

I don't think I've watched every episode of anything except maybe Newhart. Maybe.

Hi, my name is Larry, this is my brother Darryl and this is my other brother Darryl, Johnny Carson pays our electric bill! <--- That show ROCKED so hard!

I used to watch the Amazing Race as well, awesome :-O

It's celebrity apprentice season....

 

[kasmanaft08]

Usually I'll get a show, download or buy it and dive into it until the last episode. But if the show is still running, often I'll forget about it by the time my obsession is out and won't catch up to it until I 'revisit' the show. But there are a few that I "can't miss" if they brought out new episodes- namely Arrested Development (there's a movie coming?), Idiot Abroad and IT Crowd (which I'm waiting on a new season to come out). I still have to see the last season or so of the American Office, and the new season of Big Bang Theory, though, but I'm not in the mood for either at the moment. I watched House for a while, but haven't seen any of them since season 5 or 6, I think, either.

and IT Crowd (which I'm waiting on a new season to come out).

You can wait very long... cause apparently there's only a final episode coming and than it's done.

I don't like having to watch episodes of things on TV, I don't like having to wait to see the next one so I prefer waiting and getting something on DVD so that I can watch as many episodes as I want. I'm really enjoying the series OZ and watch at least 1 episode a night, sometimes 2 if I can tear myself away from the xbox or playstation in time before it gets too late.

What shows have you been watching that you couldn?t miss an episode of? If you did miss an episode would you download it to catch up?
Is there any show that you've seen every single episode of? Even after you?ve seen all episodes, did you then have to own the DVD's?

At the moment I can?t miss an episode of ?Hardcore Pawn? (about a pawnbrokers store in America), ?Futurama? and ?Mutant X?

As to downloading, I have a plethora of shows I've either downloaded myself because they aren?t available on DVD or ones I was given by people that are available.

I have seen a number of shows from episode one through to the end, as the shows I download are usually ones that where cancelled after one season or so.

Now, about owning the DVD?s of shows I have already seen, I have bought so many that I haven?t even watched a third of them yet, I love being able to pick a show and just sit there until I have seen it all, sometimes I only watch one disc a day to draw it out longer. Other times I may just buckle in for a whole weekend and view episodes until my eyelids drop off.

Here a just a few of the shows I've already purchased complete sets of:

Farscape . .\____(I stupidly allowed a guy to trick me into giving him these two series)

You've got some similar tastes to me in TV, there, Gomendosi.

 

[robertwnielsen]

The Incredible Hulk gave birth to the biggest understatement EVER in episodic TV--

"Mr. McGee, don't make me angry. YOU WOULDN'T LIKE ME when I'm angry!!"

I loved that show when I was a kid...have a few episodes, but not a whole season.

I do have full seasons of--

Knight Rider (all 4)
Dukes of Hazzard
Wonder Woman (S2)
and last, but not least, Airwolf, season 1-3. I don't want Season 4 of Airwolf, simply because of the way that the entire original cast was dumped before the season began--Dom was killed, String was injured in the explosion that killed Dom, but Caitlin and Archangel, along with Marella, simply disappeared off the face of the earth. I've mentioned it before, but I do a little fan fiction writing about Airwolf, at robertwnielsen - FanFiction.Net (Cheap pop.)

 

[Arashi222]

Heh ooooo yah. Lets see:
Macgyver
Stargate SG-1
Stargate Atlantis
Andromeda
BattleStar Galactica
Mutant X
X-Men
Young Knight Riders
Seaquest DSV
Torchwood
Carebears
Ghostbusters
Rainbow Brite
21 Jump Street
Star Trek: Generation, Voyager DS9
Regenesis
Parenthood

I think my list could go on and on...but that is the basics yup yup.:cute:

 

[2010Dolby]

30 Rock! I'm a bit obsessed with this show lately. And then theres Tosh.0, Key and Peele, and Burn Notice.

 

[76054Pluto]

One show I love is Blackadder which is a historical 4 series comedy made in the 1980s. Repeats of it are frequently shown on a couple of digital TV channels but I have the entire 4 series set on DVD which I watch frequently and never get bored of. The humour is intelligent and many of the storylines involve farce, irony and good old British gallows humour. The first series is set at the end of the middle ages, the second during the Tudor period, the third during the Regency period and the last series is set in the 1st world war. I strongly recommend it.

 

[robertwnielsen]

Only two shows that I own the entire series of....Knight Rider, and of course, my favorite from the '80s...AIRWOLF. (Which, in case anybody doesn't know, I do a little fanfiction writing on...(cheap pop, sorry)....link is here:

robertwnielsen | FanFiction

Now the irony is--now that I've started writing Airwolf fanfiction, I can't stand watching my DVD's anymore!! (I only have Season 1-3...don't count season 4, because they **FIRED** the entire original cast...Dominic Santini got killed in an explosion, Stringfellow Hawke was injured in the same explosion(although, the one good thing that happened was his younger brother, Saint John Hawke, finally came home)...and Caitlin O'Shannessy and Archangel simply disappeared off the face of the Earth, without a trace or so much as a mention. And that's unforgivable (at least, to me.)
