things what I have absorbed in their entirety:

malnpudl posted this meme, which is a list of TV shows that you distinguish in various ways, one of which is "I am positive I have seen every episode of this. I'm not doing the meme, but here is my list of things I've seen all of:

Angel
Buffy: the Vampire Slayer
Dark Angel
Farscape
Firefly
Sports Night

I'm pretty sure there aren't any other TV shows I've watched in their entirety. I practically had the first seasons of Arthur and Friends and Wishbone memorized, but I didn't watch the later seasons; the same is true with many shows notably absent from my list.

Most of the notably absent things on my list I am simply not caught up on (West Wing, the Stargates, Veronica Mars); one show I won't watch any more of (Andromeda), some I watched piecemeal (the Treks, Lexx, The Sentinel), and one, I missed one episode entirely by accident (House M.D., "Daddy's Boy").

When I first got into fandom, I kept lists of all the episodes of all my shows and put x's next to episode titles after I'd seen them; this was partially because I watched most shows piecemeal at first (with Gvambat showing me the best episodes in no particular order and skipping things she didn't have or didn't like), and I really did need a way to keep track.

Insert thinky thoughts about ficcing in open vs closed canons, writing with/out firm grasp of canon, writing ambivalent futures, plunging into fandom feet first, the importance of completism vs some other strategy, etcetc. I don't know. Too tired to think. But look. (*points up*) I made a list!

(And I suddenly remembered I still haven't seen the very end of "Rising."
