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.

I like horror theme. So I've watched Ash vs Evil Dead, The Exorcist S01, The Haunting of Hill Twice twice so far. Out of these Ash vs Evil Dead was the best on the repeat run, so I may watch it again at a later time.

[–] quaff@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Have you seen “Evil” or “From”? Both really great horror shows.

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

-MacGyver

-Stargate SG1

-The Wire

-Band of Brothers

-Generation Kill

-Blackadder

[–] big_duck_energy@partizle.com 6 points 1 year ago

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

[–] _spiffy@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago
[–] LANCESTAAAA@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

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

[–] howdy@thesimplecorner.org 6 points 1 year ago

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

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

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

Futurama, Venture Bros, South Park, and Archer.

[–] DeadlineX@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year 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.

[–] Haldum96@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

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

[–] miles@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

BoJack Horseman, too many times to count by now

[–] InigoMontoyota@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

TNG, Voyager, TBBT

[–] Dio@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year 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.

[–] jecxjo@midwest.social 5 points 1 year 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.

[–] 9488fcea02a9@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I watch IT crowd and derry girls over and over again

Both relatively short series

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.

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

Trailer Park Boys. Something about that theme is so soothing

[–] TheGreenGolem@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Friends.

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

[–] harmonea@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[–] BaskinRobbins@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago (3 children)
  • Peep Show
  • IT Crowd
  • IASIP
  • The Wire

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.

[–] wcSyndrome@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

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

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

Probably early Simpsons up until something like season 10

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.

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

[–] UdeRecife@lemmy.sdfeu.org 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Any BBC production of Jane Austen's novels.

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.

[–] smstnitc@lemmy2.addictmud.org 5 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] coolcrowe@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Mr. Robot

Mad Men

[–] Poob@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

Battlestar Galactica, Lost, Friends, and the Office

[–] vd1n@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Dateline, murder never gets old!

Plus the hosts... Dying old guy, disheveled divorced looking guy, and the fluzey blonde!

(Sarcasm but datelines a classic)

[–] uncategory@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 year ago

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

[–] SocialSpirit@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (4 children)

The Mentalist…hands down.

The Last Kingdom.

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

[–] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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

[–] LeylaaLovee@lemmy.fmhy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

King of The Hill is probably my most watched. Fall asleep to it every night. However most active rewatching goes to Moral Orel.
