I know for some of us, the episodes aren't that appealing for watching for the 2683 time anymore. Used to, but it's fading away.

So how often do you watch Buffy?
 
At uni I watched it literally every day, but that was because I needed it. I built up a nice routine of watching an episode before bed every night. Now I'm back home I only watch it every once in a while.
 
I hardly ever watch Buffy anymore. I love the show, don't get me wrong, but I've seen some episodes literally over 50 times. It's got to the point where when I watch most episodes I find myself getting pretty bored and end up surfing the net, or flicking through magazines.

Some episodes though are like my security blanket. I watch OMWF every time something has bought me down. One of my favourite Buffy memories is the time I got fired from job and came home from soccer training feeling incredibly down and jumped onto IRC with some Buffy friends and we all decided to watch OMWF together to cheer me up. I think there was about 6 or 7 of us, all in different countries, watching it at the exact same time and chatting and laughing and having a couple of drinks.

I watch Becoming Part 2 quite regularly as well. It's my go to when I'm feeling angry at men and wondering how I can go on. Every time that Buffy opens her eyes and says 'me' I get shivers, and sometimes even pop a tear or two.

I love that moment so much in Becoming!
Not any of these choices. I do a rewatch every once in a while, that's it. Usually I do them with friends I introduce to the series.

I've seen the eps too often and I was never the kind of guy to watch a random ep like that... But if I had to take one ep I'd watch just for fun, it'd be Band Candy, for obvious reasons.
 
Well I don't want it as often since I am always watching new shows and doing re-watches of many shows. I will say I think I watch Angel more. I know once I watched it for the first time then watched it again. Now though I haven't watched it in maybe a year? Not sure exactly but I am missing it. I basically do re-watches whenever I want to or can.
 
I bought Buffy on DVD a few years ago when I was at college. They were like a treat for me cuz I worked so hard all the time that when I got to watch a couple I was properly relaxed and it was nice to watch it from season 1 through 7. I did the same with Angel when I started uni the following year. I've started watching Buffy again now but tend to go through phases. I love watching it personally cuz it reminds me of first watching it as a teenager and how much I loved it and looked forward to it 🙂
 
I usually have a marathon of whatever episodes I feel like watching about once a month.

I read fan fiction like a fiend though. Probably do that a couple times a week. 🙂
 
I watch it nearly every day before going to bed. Sometimes in the afternoon as well. Mostly 1 or 2 episodes per watch.

I 'discovered' BtVS a little longer than a year ago (I think) and I've watched the complete series about three times (I'm at the Season 6 finale at the moment).
I mostly watch the episodes in chronological order, but sometimes I just watch one of my favorite episodes.

It's really weird. Every time I finished Season 7, I felt like starting all over again. But this time I decided to start with The X Files when I'm finished with Season 7.

X-Files are so great too! Start watching them too, but then I started BTVS and forgot about them. Now I have to restart watching the X-Files!!!
At least one episode a day. Usually just random ones that i feel like. Most of the time i end up watching the next episode and the next, then the whole season, then i'm like might as well start from the beginning.
I recently watched the complete Buffy and Angel in order, so the cross overs worked better. So much disc changing! Made it a bit different though. I like to keep them separate.
 
Not that often anymore, I'll watch an episode every few weeks and I do re-watches sometimes... but 7 years ago I was watching Buffy everyday!
 
I watch it whenever I want to lol. I own all the seasons on DVD. I'm missing one disc, and I need to replace another, but that's easy to fix, and I've got netflix anyhow. Usually a few episodes a month. I'm starting a new rewatch though.

Typically, my go to episodes are OMWF, Family, New Moon Rising, Forever, or any other Bangely episodes. 🙂
 
Just started another rewatch tonight. Plan to watch the Buffy and Angel episodes in order for the first time. That reminds me, I need to find a list which tells you the right order to watch the episodes chronologicially.
 
I used to do OMWF every week and at least two more that week. Since then, I've kind of slacked to doing the equivalent of an average of one a week. Sometimes I watch more though. I watch whenever I feel like "I haven't seen that episode in too long." Like I think tonight I might do Becoming (both parts) just because I think they're amazing and haven't seen them in like two months-ish... which feels too long.

Oh, when I first got my season 6 DVDs, I used to watch it at least twice a day!

And you made me want to watch Becoming. You know what, I will.

Yay! Becoming watch tonight!
The poll doesn't fit me. Every few months doesn't really feel like the one since it's been close to two years since I watched. Yet I won't say I don't watch it anymore because I will watch it again. I just don't know when.
