Honestly? Who has time to rewatch a series??

For me that’s Buffy and Babylon 5, both three times. I think Queen’s Gambit may beat them, but I’m not there yet.

Battlestar Galactica and Band of Brothers are basically annual binges for me.

It's a tie with three full watches for these shows:

-MacGyver

-Stargate SG1

-The Wire

-Band of Brothers

-Generation Kill

-Blackadder

[–] Xylinna@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Futurama, Venture Bros, South Park, and Archer.

[–] DeadlineX@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

Definitely Psych. I think I’ve watched it 8 times at last count. Currently rewatching it again because my wife has only seen it once lol.

[–] InigoMontoyota@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Ted Lasso. I need the joy.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

Such a hilarious show. I love how ridiculous it is.

[–] Bebo@reddthat.com 6 points 2 years ago

TNG, Voyager, TBBT

[–] miles@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago

BoJack Horseman, too many times to count by now

[–] howdy@thesimplecorner.org 6 points 2 years ago

Futurama, star trek: TNG, ds9, mash, the office

[–] Yazer@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The office. Probably 5x by now. Always great.

I've seen the first 3 seasons of Community at least 6 times. The whole series maybe 3 times.

[–] _spiffy@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 years ago
[–] big_duck_energy@partizle.com 6 points 2 years ago

Buffy for sure. I've watched it through several times.

[–] 9488fcea02a9@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I watch IT crowd and derry girls over and over again

Both relatively short series

Friends.

I saw it a gazillion times, I think I can quote whole episodes.

[–] godless@latte.isnot.coffee 5 points 2 years ago

I think Scrubs is the only series I've watched twice, so that's the one and only.

I've watched individual episodes of other series again, but not systematically.

[–] CaptainMinnette@lemmy.fmhy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

Deep Space Nine. Not full re-watches, just going back to watch an episode or three.

[–] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Trailer Park Boys. Something about that theme is so soothing

Who has time to rewatch a seriess??

I watch TV while eating only. That’s a bad habit I have. I don’t want to look for new shows while eating. I just replay the same shows I know are good.

If I start a new show and I like it, I will just just binge watch until the season finishes. I am too old to waste time like that so I don’t usually start a new show.

[–] wcSyndrome@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

Guilty pleasure one for me is burn notice. It's so over the top but so much style and coolness

[–] Poob@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 years ago

Battlestar Galactica, Lost, Friends, and the Office

[–] Hello2JasonIsaacs@feddit.uk 5 points 2 years ago

Buffy, The Sopranos and Succession are probably my most rewatched. And Friends was on TV constantly when I was growing up, I must’ve seen each episode at least 10 times.

[–] BaskinRobbins@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago (3 children)
  • Peep Show

Firefly, short (sadly) and never not fun

First 5 seasons of Supernatural, when they had a story to tell and not an IP to milk

Last 3~4 seasons of Deep Space Nine, after the focus shifted from the soap opera to the war

Fate/Zero and Unlimited Blade Works, often as familiar background noise when I'm not able to 100% pay attention, like a security blanket

Persona 5, faster than a replay of the game and the main character actually gets to talk

[–] ScotinDub@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Probably early Simpsons up until something like season 10

If I have the time and desire to sit in front of the TV (which is pretty rare): X-Files, Kids in the Hall, Justified, Doctor Who, TNG/DS9/VOY, Good Omens, and Arrested Development. I'm sure there are others but they're not coming to mind right now.

[–] Dio@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Pokémon first three seasons and Digimon's first seasons one and two.

I am rebellious and a bad ass, you need not tell me.

[–] coolcrowe@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Mr. Robot

Mad Men

[–] Blunon@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

For me it’s Avatar the last airbender I just love how wholesome it is xD

Buffy is the most watched, hands down.

Nowhere Man is another one I love to watch over and over again, it's only one season, but I haven't seen it as many times as Buffy. It's pretty dated, but it's a great premise, and really enjoyable.

[–] jecxjo@midwest.social 5 points 2 years ago

American Dad up to the point that Seth stopped writing for it and then I restart. It is one of my background noise shows. King of the Hill is the filler cartoon to not start the loop instantly.

Star Trek TNG and TOS for scifi

Oh and i watch Forensic Files enough that i can typically remember who did it within the intro. Similar to the original Law and Order.

Any BBC production of Jane Austen's novels.

The Last Kingdom.

I can't quite put my finger on it but the series really keeps me watching.

[–] SocialSpirit@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (4 children)

The Mentalist…hands down.

Buffy, Angel, Firefly, Babylon 5, Deep Space Nine.

[–] olorin99@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

I usually end up with community playing in the background while I'm working on something else. No idea how many times I've rewatched it.

[–] AugustMetronome@slrpnk.net 4 points 2 years ago

Battlestar Galactica and X-Files are comfort watches to have on in the background

[–] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Arrested Development, Archer, Always Sunny, MST3K, Yes Minister/Prime Minister
