30 Days of TV - Day Twelve

Today's task - An episode you've watched more than 5 times

Blimey. It's not getting any easier as the days pass, is it?

The diffculty here is the word AN as in only one, because there are quite a few. As you'd expect, they all come from my favourite shows... stands to reason really, because you wouldn't watch an episode more than five times if you didn't like it, would you?

So I can't name just one episode I've seen more than five times.



But I can make lists, so from The West Wing and off the top of my head, I've definitely seen the following five times or more:

The Pilot
The Crackpots and These Woman
Celestial Navigation
In the Shadow of Two Gunmen

The Stackhouse Filibuster
17 People (no surprise there!)
Two Cathedrals

From Doctor Who - well, chances are I've seen the whole of S4 more than 5 times! Often, when the kids want to watch a DVD, they choose one with Donna in (they like Donna!) and of course, I'm not going to object to that.

But I'm sure we've seen The Runaway Bride, Partners in Crime and The Unicorn and the Wasp 5 times or more. Who wouldn’t want to watch David Tennant and Catherine Tate spark off each other like Tracy and Hepburn?

Awww... his face when she remembers the car keys and he doesn't get the hug... and then he starts picking up the bags. Totally pwned already.

Yet another miming scene (filmed before the one in Partners in Crime) culminating in the now obligatory Doctor/Companion snog.

"Oh, that's too salty! - is completely Nan talking!

And David/Ten is at his most gorgeous and charming in UW - a welcome bonus!

And there's another show I haven't mentioned yet, of which I was a big fan - probably the first show I got into in a REALLY big way, before WW, and that was Babylon 5. It was a great show, even though the last season was a bit of a mish-mash... long overdue for a DVD rewatch, but I've definitely seen the last three episodes of Season 3 - And the Rock Cried Out, 'No Hiding Place', Shadow Dancing and Z'ha'dum 5 times.

I should think I've seen the whole of S1-4 at least 5 times and listened to them another 5. Definitely certain eps of the first 8 seasons of ER 5 times. Most of ST:TNG and SG-1, all of Buffy & Angel and a fair bit of B5. Also stuff like Yes, Minister, The Good Life and As Time Goes By, which are always good for sitting in front of repeats while eating tea.

Blimey - that's a lot :) There might well be more stuff I've watched 5 times, but it's not that recent and I can't remember!

I suppose it's different for me because I rarely have control of the telly! And once the kids are in bed, I'm working or poking about on teh interwebz.

I watch bugger all these days. I'm only half way through last week's DW and I have a bucket load of things to catch up with before the seasons finish in a couple of weeks.

No Noel in the list?

Eeep! You're right - of course I've seen that more than five times. I'll have to edit it in :)

It's just the episode is so obvious in the top, I don't know, five, I was surprised you didn't mention it. Though later today I checked earlier posts and it was mentioned there.

I enjoy your posts about TWW. We in Russia had only the first season on tv, years ago. With all the newer shows I only recently decided to find out the results of the shooting in the end of the season 1 so now I catch up with the show and lj posts about it. I of course downloaded all the seasons from internet but also asked a British friend of mine (well, actually he's Irish but lives in England) to order the dvd box set from British Amazon for me.
