JCC Amph TV series you've seen every single episode of?

It was an age joke.

1948 - 1956, hosted by Milton Berle.

 

Automan
Maninal
Fuller House
All My Children

 

Hmmm....hard to say how many I may have completed as a kid (late 70s and 80s) because I watched a lot of TV back then. But I would say during that era the only two that I'm really sure I saw every single epsiode of were M*A*S*H (watching the earlier seasons that I missed when I was too young later on when they started appearing on syndication) and syndicated repeats of the original Star Trek. I also was a big Cheers fan during the 80s, but I'm not sure if I ever did see every single episode..

In my adult life, I can really only think of two series I've seen every one of: Seinfeld (I've probably seen every episode at least 2-3 times, and some episodes more than that) and Sex and The City (though I didn't watch much of it until it had completed its first run). I've probably also seen every SATC ep at least twice.

It's been years since I've watched any TV series (aside from news shows or PBS*), even in this new age of TV on-demand options. By choice, I don't have cable or any streaming services like Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc. If I have time to watch something, I generally prefer to watch movies.

*and yes, even though I'm "only" in my 40s, I fully realize that I have the TV tastes of an octagenarian. I reached acceptance of that fact long ago.

Edit: Oh, I did also complete the British version of The Office. I watched the American one regularly until Jim and Pam became a permanent couple but then I lost interest.

 

Red Dwarf
Hyperdrive

 

Far too many. Just thinking about this list is something of a reality check. There are probably many more that I can't think of just now.

Thank god I'm a "read the manga instead" level snob or that could've gotten out of hand fast. I mean it's already out of hand but you know what I mean.

 

The only anime I've thought was better than the manga (after having experienced both) that I can think of is DBZ.

And I'm strongly considering a Gundam watch-through after my MCU watch-through.

 

How do you guys have time to watch all this? I've got this huge backlog of movies, games, TV series...was making zero progress on any of it, and this was before I got a job.

 

I have to disagree with this pretty strongly; while I love a good DBZ filler episode the actual storyline adaptations are a tremendous disservice to the original. None of Toriyama's charm, or pacing, or eye for composition are preserved, and it only got worse as he got really stylized and sparse in the Cell saga. Then in the Buu saga the anime producers clearly had no idea what to do with the self-parodying tone he decided to run with, so rather than everyone dying being played for laughs it's played as dark but then for laughs and ugh. Ugh.

Used to be I could just say "Watch everything by Tomino" but then he did Reconguista in G and... y'know, maybe skip that one.

The key is to constantly try to fill the immense void left within you by alienation and anxiety with content so that you never, ever stop to think about the horrifying Faustian bargain of your life in which your material needs are met at the expense of living in a suffocating system which is slowly and deliberately killing everything that makes you human from the inside out and you cannot get out you cannot get out YOU CANNOT GET oh hey Seinfeld is on.

 

I should probably re-read DBZ since it's been years and I never got farther than the Cell Saga there anyway.

Yeah right now the tentative plan is catch up with the MCU > catch up with Doctor Who > read ASOIAF and then watch Game of Thrones > watch all Gundam in sequence > I dunno, Narnia or Pokemon Special, or, what the hell, maybe go on a Dickens binge?
That should keep me busy through 2018 (not that I won't also be watching/reading/playing a lot of other things at the same time... I watched 12 Angry Men for the first time a couple nights ago and it was amazing, praise the almighty Lumet).

This is... depressingly relatable. I also just REALLY like stories, though. Scheherezade would have had an easy mark with me.

Now I want to read 1001 Nights.

I should get to Seinfeld at some point too.
