I just finished watching this week's Grey's Anatomy, Season 15 episode 14. I just checked and it's been running since 2005! It pre-dates my marriage and 2 of my children and yet I still watch it religiously every week. I've stayed with it all these years and can't explain why!

Even though it is often ridiculous/utter pants and I get pissed off when characters die predictably (usually when they're happy and everything is going swimmingly for them!) I always forgive it and come back and start watching again.

Anyone else have a long term relationship with a TV series? Grin

Criminal Minds and Bones.

DanielRicciardosSmile · 28/02/2019 20:50

Oh yes, Doctor Who too. I would have said Torchwood also, but then I'd have to pretend that Miracle Day never existed which it didn't

Cold Feet.

Right from the start. They have aged as I have, family issues similar overtime given they were all young couples in the early days and now have teenage children.

Greys
Bones

Grey's for me too op! I can remember it first starting and the hype around it. Just can't give it up.
I've also watched all episodes of Buffy and Sex and the City and I had seen every episode of The Simpsons up until around 6 yrs ago!

It's weird the ones that we stick with and I suppose that will change now that we can binge almost anything we want.

heymammy · 28/02/2019 21:01

WaddIelikeapenguin · 28/02/2019 21:04

There was some research done that showed the music you love as a teenager stays your preference later in life - I wonder if it’s the same for tv

I watch box sets rather than as things are broadcast usually but am a TV addict so LOADS!

Series I have watched in their entirety include Buffy, Angel, Friends, House, Charmed. Am coming to the end of my Vampire Diaries box set too.

Series which are still going that I watch: Supernatural, Law and Order SVU, Elementary, plus the DC series with DS - Arrow and Flash and so on.

@TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross Ooh I forgot about vampire diaries.
It's so good isn't it? I'm gutted it ended (more than I should be for my age)

My current series are;

The Flash, super girl, Young Sheldon, Big Bang Theory (12 seasons of that) and the mentalist (now it's on free view)

DoneAdulting · 28/02/2019 21:16

I also clicked on the thread to say Greys.

I really miss Callie. And Cristina. Wish they would come back! Especially if Callie came back with Arizona.
