I’ve watched almost exactly half as many as you, Dave. And my list is a subset of yours.
Wow…that is a lot of shows….
The latest meme: Bold all the shows you’ve watched at least three full episodes of: 24 7th Heaven Adam-12 Alfred Hitchcock Presents Alias Angel Arrested Development Battlestar Galactica [1 and 2] Baywatch Beverly Hills 90210 Bonanza Boy Meets World B…
It’s an interesting list. I’d be curious to figure out where it’s from.
I can think of several shows that aren’t on the list that seem like they probably should be:
Dragnet, Batman, The Rifleman, Emergency, Welcome Back Kotter, Green Acres, The Bionic Woman, Maverick, Wild Wild West.
Yes, I watched at least three episodes of each of those, and of these: Adam-12, Bonanza, Get Smart, Gilligan’s Island, Gunsmoke, Hogan’s Heroes, I Dream of Jeannie, Lost in Space, M*A*S*H, Mission: Impossible, Star Trek, The Addams Family, The Avengers, The Beverly Hillbillies, The Brady Bunch, The Flintstones, The Jetsons, The Munsters, The Simpsons, The Six Million Dollar Man, Twin Peaks.
The two in this list that don’t really fit are The Simpsons and Twin Peaks. When I was in grad school, I sometimes joined some friends for dinner and either The Simpsons or Twin Peaks. Other than that, most everything that I watched should be from before 1980.
Easier to list the unwatched:

I’ve watched way too much TV.
I’ll note that several of the ones I’ve watched have been on business trips when my viewing habits get a bit odd (The Sopranos falls in that category).
I was surprised by Danny Phantom, which is a kid’s cartoon (a decent one, but not a stand-out) while others I would have expected were not on the list.
Oh, and what about The Little Rascals and The Three Stooges?
What’s shocking to me is how firmly entrenched this stuff is in my memory even though the last time I saw any of that stuff was more than 20 years ago.
I wish I could somehow rewire my brain so that it would remember more useful stuff and forget some of the junk that I really don’t care about any more. [hmmm, wasn't that the plot of a Phillip K Dick novel?]
There are definitely shows on that list I’d just as soon forget (and whose 3-episode threshold was accidentally or forceably reached).
