You can tell the quality

[Reynard]

I dunno... Sometimes it's nice to sit back and watch something familiar. Same as curling up with a favourite book. Good stories, whether on visual media or on the printed page are always worth revisiting. They're almost like old, familiar friends.

Having said that, when you've got something that's well-written, you often find yourself noticing things on subsequent watchings that you never noticed first time around (or even umpteenth time around!).

Babylon 5 is a classic case in point here. It's amazing how much depth JMS managed to squeeze into it.

Plus, when watching Trek, I love to play "Spot the Babylon 5 actor"

I'm not reading every page but for a distinctly Scottish flavour I would like to add Taggart and Cracker.

A mate of mine from The Gorbals deliberately never followed me to CID because he didnt want people to keep asking him to say "It's muder". I can switch my islands accent on and off, so didn't suffer that indignity.

Alan Partridge: The Complete Collection - back of the net!

Minder - you can sit and enjoy the sheer excellence of the first couple of series and then watch it almost imperceptibly losing quality until eventually Terry goes to Australia and is replaced by Ray, at which point they're flogging a nearly dead horse. Although none of them are as bad as the terrible Shane Ritchie reboot.

The League of Gentlemen - Go Johnny, go, go, go, go.

And for @Drago The Thin Blue Line

Postman Pat. The original, before Royal Mail rescinded permission to use their logos etc. Miserable gits.

*Anything* with Bill Bailey in it is worth having. That man is genius.

Space Cadets, anyone?

Shane Ritchie reboot, seriously?

I'm shocked and stunned.

 

[stephec]

None here either

Same question as @User9609

I can understand that viewpoint, as most comedy shows seem to start dying off after a couple of series, apart from Allo Allo.

But then again, do you never listen to the same piece of music more than once?

I keep all my box sets on Netflix. Don't have to dust them that way.
