Share why you re-watch Firefly and when you do it. For me I just keep a DVD always in the machine and watch a little bit almost everyday. It always entertains!

I tend to watch the full run (plus the BDM) about twice a year. Usually in the dead of winter (hmmm, it's about that time) and then at the end of summer, just before school starts up again.
As for other shows, there are a number of others I like to re-watch, but since they all run multiple seasons, there's not enough time to watch them often. Right now I'm re-watching Buffy and Angel. I also like to give Alias, Farscape, Highlander and Babylon 5 a run every couple years.

I too do the full run. These days it's probably about once a year.
I don't like to casually dip in and out of any series, I'd sooner start from the first episode and work my way through, even if I've seen it many times. That goes for the longer seasons as well, although I will usually break them up - for example - I'll watch Buffy S1+2 then do a season or two of something else, then go back and watch Buffy S3+4, and so on etc.
I definitely can't watch just a bit of an episode and then continue it later with another bit. It's the whole episode or nothing. It's part of the reason I record everything and don't watch it live because you can't predict that badly timed phone call or whatever. The same applies to films, however long they are.
The only shows I can watch a singular episode of are ones where I catch them because of a particular guest star. That's the reason I watch them not because I like the show (but it doesn't mean it's a bad show, just that I chose not to invest in it).

I did the series on the run up to xmas, the BDM on xmas day, and have now switched to my back catalogue of Dark Angel (Jessica Alba in black leather, need I say more?) And Kyle XY.
Just out of interest, anyone notice that the really whacked out shows (Dark Angel, Kyle XY, Millenium) are all set in Seattle.

The shows I watch over & over are Firefly, Dark Angel, Star Trek, Buffy, & Battlestar Galactica (the FUN one).
Planet of the Apes, The Prisoner & Brisco are other go-to's.

Lately, I've been watching it everyday looking for Carbonite Han.
I rewatch Rome once or twice a year. It's such a visual feast. I wish that show had gone on for a third season.
I rewatch Due South and Forever Knight, too.

When we moved into our new house, I purged by DVD collection of all TV shows besides that that i foresee re-watching periodically:
BUFFY
ANGEL
FIREFLY
DOLLHOUSE
ALIAS
THE SHIELD
PRISON BREAK
STAR WARS: CLONE WARS
Although I don't anticipate watching it again, I've watched CARNIVALE a few times. The HBO shows are good because they're short seasons.
