How has TotGM stood the test of time? I loved it as a kid, but haven't seen it since the DVD re-release. I'm a little afraid.

Loved Tales of the Gold Monkey! And The Fantastic Journey (Roddy McDowell was awesome) but as I have neither show on DVD or Blue-ray...

I rewatch,
Firefly,
Battlestar Galactica (The fun one)
Alien anthology
Space: Above and Beyond
Buck Rogers in the 25th Century
and then several sports movies,
Bull Durham,
Necessary Roughness,
Major League (yes, all of them)
*61,
Mystery Alaska,
And finally Waterboy.

But NO Buffy although I did recently buy the original movie. Love that campy B movie feel to it.

I was a bit hesitant about rewatching also, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be (loved the show as a kid). Probably won't watch it again though.

As far as Firefly goes, I watched the whole run twice last year. Other years it was considerably more.

Right now we're watching Farscape, since I got it for Christmas.

Brisco County Jr, Supernatural and the various Stargates are other favorites in my household.

I will agree with you on all of those shows as excellent, although I don't know that I'd re-watch them. Much as I'd like to do Sargate SG-1 from beginning to end, it's sooooo many episodes! :)

I've seen Firefly so many times I've lost count, but it has been a while because I didn't want to get burned out. I've only seen it once in the past year, when I got it on Blu-Ray. And when I watch it is always the complete series in order, in as short a time as possible, followed by all the extras, then on to Serenity to cap it off. I am sure I will watch it again sometime this year.

Other shows I re-watch frequently:
Wonderfalls
Pushing Daisies
Dead Like Me
Battlestar Galactica (the good one )
Babylon 5
American Gothic
Dark Skies (I have it on DVD-r from downloads, but will be getting the official release in a couple of weeks. YAY! )
Brimstone
Freaks and Geeks
Dresden Files
Doctor Who
Torchwood
Eureka
Spaced
Sports Night
Twin Peaks

Farscape is one I haven't seen in quite a few years, but it will be up at the top of the queue shortly. Just bought it from amazon for $50 and should get it in a couple of days.

Glad I could oblige by getting that out of the way.

Actually, I'm just replying now to see if the new avatar I uploaded is in place. It is something I had emailed to Haken a couple of times on the original site but he never changed mine from the picture of Serenity I chose when I signed up back in '04.

EDIT: And it's not. Also, not sure why it would be River here (the beta site) while Serenity is my avatar on fff.net1.0

I rewatch my Firefly DVDs about once a year. Usually my dad and I watch through them together, though in 09 I watched them with my Browncoat group in this cool home theater system in the basement of a member who has since disappeared, going to his house was so much fun. But yeah, about once a year, and I notice new things/come up with new questions each time.

I usually rewatch Firefly about twice a year, as I have to keep flying in and out of Australia (immigration reasons). To combat the incredibly long flight I converted Firefly to play on my PSP. It's incredibly efficient at burning up time. SERENITY I have on UMD and watch that also during the flight, usually after I've done the series.

Thereafter I find I've probably re-watched Buffy more than any other show, closely followed by Angel, and these I like to enjoy anytime of the year. Buffy I probably watch religiously all the way through at least once a year (skipping season six, bar a few choice epsiodes). With Angel It's usually season One, Three, first half of Four and bits of Five.

Then there's the first season of CHUCK. I can just keep watching season One all the way through, missing nothing. It's just so damn charming.
