Personally i like re runs.Well since i love all the classic old sitcoms,i guess i just have to be happy with watching re runs since no other episodes are being made.

What tv show re runs do you love to watch?

For me its without question....Bewitched,I Dream of Jeannie,Whos the Boss,SEINFELD (especially),Married with Children,The wonder years and The Nanny (i think i have seen the whole series 100 times through by now

)
oh,and i have to admit that i still like Saved by the Bell.

My tv viewing habits were shaped around reruns, not first run shows. From the age of 5 when I came home from kindergarten I watched syndicated reruns like Get Smart, Batman and all the 60s sitcoms. I was in bed for primetime and growing up I've always had more of an appreciation for syndie repeats where you can see the show 5x a week rather than from one week to the next over several years.

One thing I like about something like Get Smart, Jeffersons, Cosby Show or the 60s and 70s shows I liked is that they didn't have story arcs other than maybe characters who were single at one point in the show later being married or having kids or some such thing (well Cosby had some story arcs actually). I could watch episodes way out of broadcast and/or production order but they were so well done that they hooked me. Now it seems that almost every scripted show has some element of continuity to it like a soap opera and it gets a bit tedious esp with shows that have this will they or won't they thing between a male and female character. In too many shows that type of thing is either dragged out or very predicatable. One sitcom that doesn't is King of Queens which I'll watch if I'm home when its on in reruns, but I don't watch in primetime at all.

But to answer the original question Get Smart is one show I could watch episodes of an infinite number of times and not get tired of seeing. Others like Cosby Show or A Different World I like to see then not see again for several years but when a few years have passed they are thoroughly enjoyable all over again even if I've seen the particular episode 4 times already.

Three's Company is the only show I'll watch time after time on tv and never get tired of it, even with owning the first three seasons on dvd.

M*A*S*H and Friends are two shows I can watch any time, no matter what, in reruns or on DVD. Even if I have seen the episode ten times I can watch it again.

slackermonkey · 01-15-2005, 06:46 PM

Friends and Seinfeld spring immediately to mind.

Karen* · 01-15-2005, 07:02 PM

The whole ABC Family block of Full House, Family Matters, and Step by Step...and anything else that looks interesting.
