Re: Whats the longest series you've owned and watched all the way through?
Supernatural atm I think, 8 series and counting. I have missed the occasional episode of friends or that would be up there.
I tend to get involved in a series and watch it from start to finish or at least the season finale before starting on something new. recently watched TBBT from start to finish again.
Some series I think tend to go on too long, quite literally losing the plot and viewers. Stargate was one of those, Bones another. Supernatural peaked at 5 seasons and while still fun, its lots a lot of its edge. Sons of Anarchy at 7th and final season is probably just right. Lost at 6 was too long. The Good Wife, currently at 5, is still gripping.

Trapdoor :)
I got a TiVo in 2000, so tended not to miss things, so didn't usually buy series on DVD.
These days with Netflix I actively avoid cluttering the house with extra DVDs.
Annoyingly now the kids are getting older I would actually spend money on buying Animaniacs on disc. I don't understand why something that funny isn't shown any more, or available in any decent affordable form.
Re: Whats the longest series you've owned and watched all the way through?
Overall, I have watched Friends beginning to end which must be approx 240 episodes, although they're only 20 minutes or so each.
As for one sitting, well there's no competition - MLP.

MLP? Maggies look at politics? Martin's lovely postcards? Moomin's lunchtime play? Miranda licks pandas? What is this series of which you speak?

You don't know? It's one of the best TV series of the modern era.

Well the clue to my knowing is possibly in my question, but for clarity, no! I don't know. Hence I asked what it is. Is that an acronym or is it literally called MLP?

Stargate - every single one of them. Absolutely love the show :)
After that, Startrek, Battlestar Galactica, Heroes.
I've got all of the X-Files, so that's after Breaking Bad :)

To anyone that has had to sit through a single minute of Barney the Dinosaur, Google "animaniacs the anvil song" for something much better. It should searchable on YouTube. For it not to be available on DVD is frankly a crime :D
