TV series you've watched through more than once

[user104658]

I've watched an absolute tonne of telly but giving it some thought, there actually aren't that many shows I've watched start-to-finish multiple times, and even fewer that are more than twice. Thought this could be interesting, especially as it doesn't necessarily correlate with "best shows I've seen". Some amazing shows are really a one-time experience. Anyway, here is the list that I can think of...


Start to finish multiple times

Buffy
Angel
The Office (US)
Parks & Rec
Stargate SG-1
Rick & Morty
Tennant + Smith eras of Doctor Who

Start to finish twice

Lost
The Walking Dead (seasons 1-10, obvs not finished yet)
One Tree Hill
Stargate Atlantis
The 100
Peep Show
The Inbetweeners


Miscellaneous

Friends

- I've seen every episode multiple times, but I've only done seasons 1 - 10 in order once since it ended, so this is both "many times" and "only twice")

South Park

- I've definitely seen every episode more than once. Some just twice, some 10+ times, but not in order.


Gawan then. What shows did you like enough to watch 'em twice.

[Alf]

Far too many to mention.

[Niamh.]

Father Ted
Schitts Creek (well currently on my second watch)
My So Called life (only was 1 season long though)
Eerie Indiana (only one season of this too, a travesty for both)
Friends

[Crimson Dynamo]

Iv seen the office UK maybe 10 times each ep, maybe 3-4 for Office USA/Seinfeld

Dads army maybe 5 times same for Likely lads The Sweeney and Randall and Hopkirk

Early doors probably 5 times each ep and same for Royle Family/Father Ted/Alan Partridge

[Niamh.]

I've watched Episodes of the Office UK multiple times never in order again though after the first watch.

I'll probably do a rewatch of After Life before S3 comes out

BSG (the 00's Show not the 70's one)
Gilmore Girls
Stargate Atlantis & SG-1 (although that was years ago now)

If we can include Anime I've rewatched Claymore, Innocent Venus & The Promised Neverland multiple times, although let's pretend that The Promised Neverland Season 2 doesn't exist.

[Mystic Mock]

Buffy & Angel, I watched them through repeatedly when I was a lot younger but outside of that, I don't tend to rewatch much outside of Avatar and Korra because they are perfection and they get better with each rewatch.

I'm doing a proper Buffy watch now actually, because my family years ago tried to get me into the Show in Season 7 bizarrely.

Season 1 despite it's flaws is definitely better than Season 7 from what I remember about that Season.:joker:

And I haven't seen Korra personally, but I don't blame you with Avatar that was an awesome Show, as was Gravity Falls imo.

[Cherie]

I can't remember any series I have give a second watch to :think:

I must have seen every Star Trek orig series at least 5 times as well as they were repeated alot when I was wee

If this thread was name a show you don't think Mock would like at all, I would have said Gilmore Girls. :eek: :o

[user104658]

Father Ted


Father Ted is another one where I've seen every episode multiple times. My wife adores it, possibly because her family on her mum's side are Irish :joker: ... her grandad was like a Father Ted character, he was great... we always said he could have done Gogglebox and he wouldn't even have needed a 2nd person with him. Was a Big Brother fan, too :laugh:.

However, I don't think I've EVER seen them in order. It's one of those shows where you don't really have to though, I suppose, each episode is it's own thing.

BSG (the 00's Show not the 70's one)

I tried a BSG rewatch a couple of years back because I loved my first watch, but I found it just didn't work the same :think: I was up all night with my eldest when I first watched it, and properly binged it (like 5 eps a night start to finish) - and I think part of what made it so great was that sense of "dread" because they were constantly on the run, facing overwhelming odds, and that's what made it so intense (along with feeling like I was actually there because I was watching it so much :laugh: ). Anyway - I found that on a rewatch, it just didn't hit the same because it's not got that element of unpredictability. So it shall forever remain that very intense start-to-finish experience of watching all 73 episodes + the movies in the space of 2 weeks :shocked:

Honestly I literally slept 7am - 1pm, worked 2pm - 10pm and spent the night watching BSG while holding a baby. It was a strange, strange, yet very cosy time. I remember I had headphones on a massive extension cable from the TV because it had to be silent, but that was in the days before **** like bluetooth headphones :joker:.

Season 1 despite it's flaws is definitely better than Season 7 from what I remember about that Season.:joker:

1 - 3 are great (despite S1 clearly being very low budget), 4 is a bit ropey in all honesty, some great standalone episodes but overall meh. I enjoy 5, and actually 6. 7 I think is good but it's an intensely focused "finishing up" season - I can't imagine anyone getting much out of it if they haven't actually seen the rest of the show :joker:.

My personal favourite season is S3.

You should watch Angel as well - objectively, it's actually a better made show overall, definitely more consistent.

Your Granddad-in-Law sounds amazing :lovedup:

I probably watched Father Ted in order twice, the first time back when it actually aired and the 2nd with my kids, they love it now too, other than that I've watched episodes not in order multiple times

Oh a general question to everyone who mentioned Fr Ted in here, what's your favourite episode? Mine is Tentacles of Doom (the one when the 3 Bishops comes to up grade the Holy Stone of Clonrichert to a class 2 relic)

Since the upgrade from PS4 > PS5 (I got the discless version) ... I don't even own anything that can play a DVD. None of our current laptops or computers even have optical drives.

Although actually, did PS2 play DVDs? I actually can't remember. We still have a PS2 hooked up for SSX Tricky, so if PS2 plays DVDs, then I guess I could take a trip to ye olde days and watch a physical box set :laugh:.

[Alf]

Although I am gonna be watching, Seinfeld when that comes on Netflix, I don't have that.

To be fair though Niamh is a dastardly pirate so she has access to unlimited content at a five-finger discount.

I personally would never :worry:.

[Nicky91]

i don't have a DVD player anymore, we now have a Blu Ray player (but you can also play DVD's on that, and apparently it upscales its quality either)

I hear it was good too but then I look at their faces and I just don't believe it can be good.

[Alf]

I hear it was good too but then I look at their faces and I just don't believe it can be good.I'm not huge on American comedies anyway, although I don't really give them a chance.

So I'll give Seinfeld a chance, but if it's not doing it for me, I'll be putting "On the buses" straight back on.

Tbf BSG is also a little bit dated by today's standards because Shows like GOT have taken it that one step further since.

But I'll always love BSG personally, it's everything that I like from TV.

Thanks for giving your opinion, I'll be interested to see where we may agree and disagree with each other about the Show.

Oh and I did an Angel watch a few months ago, I did like it, and it does look more like my type of Show versus Buffy, but I'm up for being proven wrong.

Who was your favourite character in both Shows? In Angel I was definitely a Wesley fan, and for me at the moment in Buffy I'm liking Giles a fair bit.

All creatures great and small
All of the old episodes at least three times.
New episodes, series 1 watched twice.

Heartbeat, in the middle of watching all episodes the second time around, some of them the third.

Can’t count the number of times we have watched them all over again.

I’ve watched the first three, thus far it’s more like a True Crime docu than Tiger King was. Which makes it a lot less unique but a bit more “serious”, it’s still been a good watch so far, just nowhere near as much fun. It’s like Tiger King was a fairground ride we all went on, and now Tiger King 2 is like “Hehehe well OK that was fun and this **** really is absolutely bizarre but… there’s actually some quite serious stuff going on here, listen up”.

Loads. Too many to mention.

Something great is a must to watch multiple times for a the amount of times you take something new from it with each watch.
