Gacked from ghyste, because why the hell not?

Rules:

- Bold all of the following TV shows which you've ever seen 3 or more episodes of in your lifetime.
- Italicize a show if you're positive you've seen every episode of it.

Also, I added some shows that were disgracefully lacking. Marked with a *.



24 - Best Bugs Bunny cartoon every made about terrorism.
7th Heaven
ALF
Alias
*Aliens in America - Really sweet show, but it only had one season. Too bad, because it had a wonderful message.
*All in the Family - My GODS, how lacking this list is! This one of the most ground-breaking show ever produced. Every episode a treasure.
American Gothic
America's Next Top Model
Angel
Arrested Development
Babylon 5
*Batman - WTF HOW IS THIS NOT HERE?? Kitsch Classic!! My brother and I were huge fans as kids. (Trivia: Cesar Romero once slapped my dad's ass. True story.)
Batman: The Animated Series
Battlestar Galactica (the old one) - I'm pretty sure I saw at least three of these, back in the day.
Battlestar Galactica (the new one)
Baywatch
Beverly Hills 90210
Bewitched - Dick York was the true Darrin!
Bonanza - Always wished I could have Hoss for an uncle.
Bones
Bosom Buddies - One of the ones I kept meaning to watch. It's on my Netflix queue.
Boston Legal - How brilliant was this? BRILLIANT X 10,000. I'll never forgive NBC for cancelling it.
Boy Meets World
Brothers And Sisters
Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Never seen a single one. Nope. Not one.
Californication - Duchovny rings my chimes. There's nothing sexier than a really well-educated smartass.
Chappelle's Show - Dave cracks me up.
Charlie's Angels - This was one of those I'm-bored-tonight shows of the 70's.
Charmed
Cheers - LOVED this show, but stopped watching after Diane left. Her last episode STILL makes me weep like a baby.
Chuck
Clarissa Explains it All
Columbo - OH MY GOD. Memories! (Got to meet Peter Falk once, and he is EXACTLY LIKE THAT.)
Commander in Chief
Crossing Jordan
CSI - Gods, my mother watches these. I don't like police procedurals much.
CSI: Miami
CSI: NY
Curb Your Enthusiasm - Yet another of the "cool" shows I've never seen.
Dark Angel
Dark Skies
DaVinci's Inquest
Dawson's Creek
Dead Like Me
Deadwood
Degrassi: The Next Generation
Designing Women
Desperate Housewives
Dexter
Dharma & Greg - watched a couple, but really, little Miss Xenu creeps me the fuck out.
Different Strokes - I think I saw one or two of these back in the 80's
Doctor Who - One of those Holy Geek shows I've never had the slightest interest in.
Dragnet - Oh MAN. Again with the childhood memories. I recently saw the pilot episode and was STUNNED by the views of L.A. It's like something from a different century. Oh, wait...
Due South
ER - The rise of Clooney's star. At least he eventually learned to stop doing that head-down, eyes-up thing.
Even Stevens
Everwood
Everybody Loves Raymond - This is an exceedingly cute show. Peter Boyle rules.
Facts of Life
Family Guy - Very funny, but not one I regularly watch. They do GREAT Star Trek riffs.
*Family Ties - The series that gave the world Michael J. Fox. Quite funny show. I really liked the parents, played by Michael Gross and Meredith Baxter Birney, but it was Alex P. Keaton as played by Fox who drove the show. What a talent.
Farscape
Fawlty Towers - Possibly the most perfect sitcom I've ever seen. Brilliant beyond belief.
Felicity
Firefly
Frasier - Another sitcom that neared perfection. David Hyde Pierce is just fantastic.
Friends - Never saw A SINGLE EPISODE. And damn fucking proud of it, too.
Fringe
Futurama - Very funny show, but I keep forgetting it's on.
Get Smart - MEL BROOKS IN HIS PRIME. What an inventive, crazy show this was.
Gilligan's Island - Loved this one so much. I still know most of the Hamlet songs by heart.
Gilmore Girls
Glee
Gossip Girl
*Green Acres - One of my TOP FIVE shows as a kid. Unbelievably weird. Eddie Albert was the KING of bewilderment. Nick at Nite had the greatest tag line for it: "It's not goofy - It's surreal!" That nails it.
Grey's Anatomy
Grange Hill
Growing Pains
Gunsmoke - I'm sure I saw a number of episodes, but this was not my family's Western.
Happy Days - This was one of those Must See shows of the 70's. Lost its touch after a few years, though.
Hell's Kitchen
Hercules: the Legendary Journeys
Heroes - Still like this show a lot. Like Lost, you have to have patience and ride through the rough patches. Also, Hiro and Ando are just too freaking adorable for words.
*Hogan's Heroes - Okay, it may seem bizarre to make a sitcom about a Nazi POW camp, but that was the 60's. Really funny show. (I met Werner Klemperer, the show's Colonel Klink, years later, and he was the biggest sweetheart you could ever imagine.)
Home Improvement - Didn't see many of these. Tim Allen was very funny, but the story didn't interest me.
Homicide: Life on the Street
House
*H.R. Pufnstuf - The centerpiece of Sid and Marty Kroft's Weird Kid Shows. Just really fucking WEIRD.
I Dream of Jeannie - Gods, YES. Loved this one to pieces. She was such a hoot.
I Love Lucy - Another one I grew up on. We never missed this one around the dinner table.
Invader Zim
Invasion
JAG
Jackass - You have got to be fucking kidding me. NO.
Joey
*Johnny Quest - Brilliant kids' adventure animation from the 60's. I wish it would come out on DVD! (Great sublimated gay subplot between Johnny's dad and his "friend" Race Bannon!)
Kim Possible
Knight Rider
Knight Rider: 2008
Kung Fu - Oh yeah. Loved it. Still pissed off that it was taken away from Bruce Lee, though. (Also, went to school with Radames Pera, who played young Caine. He was a DICK.)
Kung Fu: The Legend Continues
La Femme Nikita
LA Law - SO GREAT the first few years. Then it got ridiculous, which was a crime. WHEN will it come out on DVD?
*Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp - If anyone reading this list even remembers this show, I'll be shocked. But I loved it.
Laverne and Shirley - Saw some, 'cause it was on after Happy Days. Not one of my faves, though.
Law and Order: SVU
Leverage
*Lidsville - I'm sure this show gave more than a few kids nightmares, but I adored its surrealistic strangeness. Another Sid and Marty Kroft masterpiece.
Little House on the Prairie - Saw a few, but saccharine isn't my thing.
Lizzie McGuire
Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman
Lost - Still into it. It's gotten much more interesting in the last couple of years. Which is good, because WOW did the third year suck.
Lost in Space - Kid series, never serious science fiction. Still, though, I watched it. Loved the robot.
*Love, American Style - Another addition. Wonderful stuff, sometimes awful, always silly and revealing. If you want a look back at how strangely confused America was about sex circa 1972, get the DVDs.
MASH - Can't say I've see all of them, but I have seen most. What a great series. LOVED the farewell episode/movie.
MacGyver
Malcolm in the Middle
Married... With Children
*Maude - And how is Maude not on here? A feminist classic! Bea Arthur was the Queen of Everything.
McLeods Daughters
Melrose Place
Miami Vice - This was a Friday night ritual for me and my friend Indian Mike. 80's Twilight Zone at 8, out to pick up weed and muchies, then Miami Vice at 10. Those were the days!
Mission: Impossible - Don't remember this series very clearly, as I was quite young, but it was definitely something I watched. I think the plots were too political and byzantine for me to hang onto them.
Mod Squad - Saw some. It was cool.
Monk - Tony Shalhoub is amazing.
Mork & Mindy - When this was first on, I saw Robin Williams walking down Hollywood Boulevard one day. My friend and I walked right past him - in the floppy pants and rainbow suspenders, no less - and then stopped and looked at each other in disbelief. "Was that..." "Yeah, it was!" We considered turning back, but then decided to leave him alone. Nanu nanu!!
Murphy Brown - Saw a few. Candace Bergen kind of annoyed me, though. Robert Pastorelli was always a hoot.
Mystery Science Theater 3000 - Still love this one. I'm collecting them through Netflix.
*My Favorite Martian - Another trip down memory lane. My dad was on an episode of this one!
My Life As A Dog
My Three Sons - A family regular. Don't remember hardly anything about it, but we did like it a lot.
My Two Dads
Mythbusters
NCIS
Ned Bigby's Declassified School Survival Guide
Nip/Tuck
Numb3rs - I've seen a few. Good show. Still can't believe it's the same guy from 10 Things I Hate About You. He sure cleaned up nice!
One Tree Hill
Oz
Perry Mason - Vague memories. My mother LOVED Raymond Burr. He was definitely hot stuff.
Power Rangers
Press Gang
Prison Break
Private Practice
Privileged
Profiler
Project Runway - I DO NOT GET these shows at all.
Psych
Pushing Daisies
Quantum Leap - Interesting show. JRD was a hoot. Still cannot get over how utterly gorgeous Jerry O'Connell turned out!
Queer As Folk (US)
Queer as Folk (UK)
ReGenesis
Remington Steele - DAMN but Pierce Brosnan is fine. It was better that he didn't do Bond for another decade though. Needed more salt.
Rescue Me
Road Rules
Rome - OH MY FUCKING GOD. This is hands down the best historical drama I've ever seen. It still stuns me. It's also one of only two TV series that I've actually BOUGHT the DVDs for. Still majorly pissed that it didn't continue.
Roseanne - Saw some. Good show. John Goodman is amazing, but Roseanne annoyed the fuck out of me. That whining screed of a voice she has, couldn't take it.
Roswell
Sanctuary
Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? - Yep, one of those Saturday morning ritual shows.
Scrubs
Seaquest DSV
Seinfeld - Saw a few, but didn't get it. Loved the Soup Nazi, though. (Did you know he's a real guy?)
Sex and the City - Never a single one. Also quite proud of that.
Six Feet Under - Interesting show.
Slings and Arrows
Smallville - Too precious by half.
So Weird
South of Nowhere
South Park - Wonderful show. Hits the mark so often, which is not something you can normally say about a show filled with poop and fart jokes.
*Speed Racer - WHO MADE THIS LIST?? Speed Racer was the COOLEST KIDS SHOW EVER when it was on.
Spongebob Squarepants - by osmosis, because my nephews love it.
*St. Elsewhere - ER owed its existence to this show. Wonderful tales of hospital life. Also, it gave the world our Captain Pike, so thank it with flowers and incense, please.
Star Trek - LIKE YOU HAD TO ASK.
Star Trek: The Next Generation - It had some good episodes, but it was way too boring/utopian/depressing for me. The Enterprise looked like a cheesy convention hotel. And any ship that has a fucking THERAPIST on the bridge deserves to get blown out of the sky, in my opinion. Worf was a fun character, though, as was Data.
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - Saw a couple. Love the tribble episode, the rest - meh.
Star Trek: Voyager - Saw one. HATED it.
Star Trek: Enterprise
Stargate Atlantis
Stargate SG-1
Starsky & Hutch - AHAHA. 70's sublimated gayness FTW!
Superman - The 50's one? Yeah, saw some of those.
Supernatural
Surface
Survivor
Taxi - Oh yeah. Introduced us to the brilliance that is Christopher Lloyd. Also, Andy Kaufman was nuts.
Teen Titans
*That Girl - The first Liberated Woman series. Marlo Thomas and her flipped hair! What a great image she was for little girls like me.
That 70's Show
That's So Raven
The 4400
The Addams Family - MY IDEAL FAMILY. Seriously, I was so pissed as a kid that I wasn't born into the Addamses. They were the only married couple on television who were CLEARLY HAVING SEX EVERY NIGHT. Husbands rarely even kissed their wives on the cheek on TV, and Gomez couldn't keep from grabbing Morticia and necking with her any time she spoke French! They were so sexy, they ruined me for any real marriage!
The Amazing Race
The Andy Griffith Show - Oh yes oh yes. I still can whistle that tune. American mythology, absolutely.
The A-Team - Saw a few. Mr. T was funny, but the show wasn't all that.
The Avengers - Mmm, Emma Peel.
The Beverly Hillbillies - *grin* Definitely. Now, lemme tell ya' story 'bout a man named Jed...
*The Bob Newhart Show - The first show about a psychologist who was more neurotic that his patients. Utterly hilarious.
*The Book of Daniel - Extremely short-lived, but really beautiful. NBC are a bunch of fucking cowards, I swear.
The Brady Bunch - Here's the story of a lovely lady... Sublimated incest taboos, AHAHA.
*The Colbert Report - How was TDS on here but not Colbert? THEY GO TOGETHER, PEOPLE!!!
The Cosby Show - Very funny show. Would have hated having Cosby for a dad, though.
The Daily Show - HELLS TO THE MOTHERFUCKING YES
The Dead Zone
The Dick Van Dyke Show - One of the required family viewing shows. That theme song is lodged in my brain. Brought us the wonderfulness of Mary Tyler Moore, as well.
The Flintstones - You know, I couldn't stand Jackie Gleason, but Fred Flintstone I loved. Go figure.
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air - Just watching this now on DVD. Very funny show. Will Smith was way cuter than, for my money. Plus, he wasn't one of those creepy Xenu people yet.
The Golden Girls - Oh how lovely this show was.
The Honeymooners - see The Flintstones
The Jeffersons - EXCELLENT show. Off-shoot from All in the Family. More ground-breaking stuff from Norman Lear. That guy produced amazing stuff.
The Jetsons - Jane, stop this crazy thing!!!
The L Word
The Love Boat - Ah, Ricardo. So suave
The Magnificent Seven
The Mary Tyler Moore Show - Oh yes. Lovely show. She's such an amazing comedienne.
The Monkees - AH LOVED IT. Mike Nesmith was my guy.
The Munsters - Saw quite a lot of them, but they were a second-rate knock-off of the Addamses.
The Office (US)
The Office (UK)
*The Outer Limits - Another one left off, why?? Great stuff. The Xanti Misfits still freaks me out. Also, it had two classic Harlan Ellison stories.
The Powerpuff Girls
The Pretender
***The Prisoner - How the HELL was this not on the list? Utterly fucking brilliant show. That goddamn ball gave me NIGHTMARES as a child. Proof positive that you don't need lots of money to completely freak people out.
The Real World
*The Rifleman - We never missed an episode. My grandma was IN LOVE with Chuck Connors. That credit sequence was so great.
The Shield
The Simpsons - Great stuff. Their X-Files show was a hoot.
The Six Million Dollar Man - Oh yes. We can rebuild you. We have the technology...
The Sopranos
The Suite Life of Zack and Cody
The Twilight Zone - Of COURSE. I also loved the 80's TZ. Some really beautiful stuff in that one, too.
The Waltons
The West Wing - Massively beautiful show. Probably the best ending to a TV show I've ever seen. Am slowly collecting it on DVD.
The Wonder Years
The X-Files - Took me three years to get around to seeing it (my mom kept pushing me, but I kept forgetting), then I loved it. However I lost interest after Duchovny left.
Third Watch
Three's Company - Damn, that was a silly show.
Twin Peaks - Didn't see it 'til after it was over, but WOW. Still love it to pieces. I get out the DVDs and watch the whole thing straight through about once a year. David Lynch is a GOD.
Twitch City
Unfabulous
Ugly Betty - Never seen it. I guess it's because she's so NOT UGLY.
Veronica Mars
Weeds
Whose Line is it Anyway? (US) - Both versions are excellent.
Whose Line is it Anyway? (UK)
Will and Grace - It's cute. That's about all I can say for it. (Though Elton John as the head of the Gay Mafia was hysterical.)
Wings
Xena: Warrior Princess - Recently saw a few when I heard KU was on it. Dear GODDESS, what a incredible chunk of CHEESE! But sexy Kaaaaal...mmm thank you yes please.
