As a student of popular culture and mostly-failed aspiring writer, I'm a little obsessive about absorbing as much pop culture as possible, from comics to film to novels to television. Some months ago I decided that since I've been keeping track of the films and books I watch and read, I should try to capture the television I've seen. In the case of television, though, I'm tracking not merely my annual consumption, but the viewing habits of a lifetime. So far as I've been able to recollect, here are the shows I've watched in their entirety, along with a supplement of shows I'm currently following or backfilling. These lists do not include shows I can't definitively say I've finished. For example, while I've watched a lot of Magnum P.I., Simon & Simon, Quantum Leap, The Dukes of Hazzard, Buck Rogers, The Rockford Files and so on, I can't be sure that I haven't missed an episode here or there, not having re-watched them yet on DVD or Blu-Ray.
