Entirely Viewed TV Shows

Post by C is for »

As is often my wont this time of year, I've been spending some time at Fandom March Madness and while I'm procrastinating my inevitable choice between John Watson and Mary Crawley I thought I'd come here and ask you folks that question of Eirene's that got everybody's input. Also so I can answer, even though my list is pathetic.

Once Upon a Time (so far -- it's easy when it's still in the first season)
Sherlock (again, so far)
Wordgirl (my brother and I have decided that I'm likely to have seen all of these, though sadly not Arthur anymore)
Doctor Who (just the new series, though)

...

Here's the shows that I need only to watch a few episodes to catch up on:
Psych
Downton Abbey

...

Yeah, that's pathetic. I'm off to agonize over John and Mary some more...

I know there are others I can't remember right now.

There are several shows where I'm pretty close. I watched all of Alias up until the middle of the last season, when law school finals got in the way, and I didn't get around to finishing it. I'm also just a few episodes short of having seen all of Doctor Who, Psych, White Collar, and Once Upon A Time.

My name is not NerdGirl, but I am a nerd, so I invented an algorithm to determine which TV shows would give you the most bang for your buck if you watched all the episodes. (The algorithm is a combination of the number of episodes—fewer is better, because your goal of watching all the episodes is easier—and of the number of times the show was mentioned by the writers—more is better, because multiple people are recommending it.)

Top 5 finished shows:

Arrested Development
Pushing Daisies
Avatar: The Last Airbender
Seinfeld
Star Trek: TNG

Top 5 ongoing shows:

Sherlock
Downton Abbey

The only show that I might be close on is Perry Mason.

I don't watch much TV.
The Epistler was quite honestly knocked on her ethereal behind by the sheer logic of this.

And maybe Star Trek: Voyager

I'm not a big TV watcher. Normally.

I think I watched all the episodes of The New Adventures of Lois and Clark growing up. But it's quite possible we missed some on TV.

I feel really lame now.

I finally finished that last year. It got so much worse after the 3rd season.

It's a shame there are only six episodes.

Oh, Terriers! What a great show. It was cancelled instantly because of terrible marketing, but it was perfect.

Also, The Prisoner. The one from the seventies. A+

LOL! I was quite certain there were no shows I had seen entirely . . . until you mentioned Lois and Clark. That one I know for certain. I was a teeny bit obsessed with that show, and never would have missed an episode so I could discuss it with my (also obsessed) friends the next day. So, I guess we can feel lame together. Katya is right though, they really jumped the shark when he proposed.

The only other ones I can think of are What I Like About You (which was on all the time when I was nursing Shy Girl) along with Property Brothers and Income Property on HGTV (what can I say, I like cute handymen). I have seen a lot of random other shows, but never enough to see them all. Though I am probably close on Saved by the Bell and Animaniacs.
