If television repeats had a queen, my mother would wear the crown. She can watch the same TV show, the same movie, hundreds of times, sometimes even just days apart. She has an extremely long list of those she calls her "favorites". The number very well may be in the hundreds.
I watch TV shows and movies more than once also, but I'm selective and the list isn't as long. I can probably come up with at least twenty, new and old, off the top of my head that I can easily watch over and over again.

Oh my God! Make me stop!! I'm already at thirty plus shows and movies. And I'm not even done yet. I can't keep track!
At this rate, I can easily find myself close to the hundred mark.
I am turning into my mother.
Time to start shopping for my very own La-Z-Boy.

Haha. I was thinking as I was reading this, you ( meaning YOU) are going to be surprised at the end of this post.
As my mother likes to say, the apple never falls far from the tree!
I'll go for King of Queens (watching now) and Raymond. Also, Seinfeld, Two and a Alf Men, and Three's Company if they are on.
Forgot to mention that I've always wanted to try the Lemon Ice at the King of Ices (?).
