How many of these have you watched?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BFI_TV_100

I can claim:
Our Friends in the North - just finished it
Cracker - only a few episodes
Inspector Morse - all
Father Ted - quite a few episodes, but not all
28 Up - all episodes beginning with 7 Up, except 63 Up, which is new
Only Fools and Horses - a few episodes
The Avengers - episodes with Diana Rigg
One Foot in the Grave - quite a few episodes, but not all, watching now
Pride and Prejudice - all

I guess I have quite a few yet to investigate.

It appears you've watched quite a few. 👍 It's a big question about how many episodes one would need to watch to know if a series is good and worth watching, but I should think it is more than just one. I think watching just a few minutes of one episode shouldn't be classed as "watching it." One has to give it a chance because sometimes the first couple of episodes aren't always all that good. Then again, if a show's premise is just not in your wheelhouse, well, one or two episodes may be enough for you to say "I'm done - not my thing." It doesn't mean the show is bad, just that it's not for you.
