Freakin' Weekend Special Edition: If I Had Infinite Amounts of Time

Based solely on what's currently available to watch instantly on Netflix, if I had infinite amounts of time I'd watch the following TV shows:

Watch for the first time:
Torchwood (All Seasons)
The Hills (All Seasons): Out of curiosity, until I wanted to shoot myself in the mouth.
The Tudors (All Seasons)
The Rockford Files (All Seasons): Because it's mentioned so often in MST3K episodes.
McCloud (All Seasons): See: The Rockford Files
Lewis Black's Root of All Evil (All Seasons):  (Who knew this existed?!?!)
Explosive funnyman Lewis Black hosts this courtroom parody program in which comedians such as Greg Giraldo, Paul F. Tompkins and Patton Oswalt ridicule pop culture targets like Paris Hilton, Donald Trump, Oprah, Viagra and video games. Highlights from the first season include debates over which of the following is more evil: beer or weed; high school or "American Idol"; and Kim Jon-Il or Tila Tequila.
Skins: Vol. 1:
Nicholas Hoult stars as scheming teen Tony Stonem in this BBC America ensemble drama that captures a slice of high school life at fictional Roundview Sixth Form College in Bristol. The series also focuses on the everyday lives of an assortment of other characters, including an openly gay student (Mitch Hewer), a habitually hard partier (Joe Dempsie) and a girl with an eating disorder (Hannah Murray).
Forty Deuce
A Los Angeles burlesque club is the subject of this four-part reality series from cable channel Bravo and director Zalman King. Its name a paean to the glamour days of New York City's 42nd Street, the Forty Deuce club offers plenty of strippers but no full nudity, and its bombastic owner, Ivan Kane, proves a savvy businessman determined to carry through his vision of celebs and skin on Los Angeles's uber-hip Melrose Avenue.
American Gothic: The Complete Series:
Welcome to Trinity, S.C., a small town with more chills than charm, where sinister Sheriff Lucas Buck (Gary Cole) won't let anyone -- including local doctor Matt Crower (Jake Weber) or the determined Gail Emory (Paige Turco) -- stand in the way of his evil plans. Sam Raimi (The Evil Dead) served as producer for this cult-hit television classic created by teen idol Shaun Cassidy, which lasted for a single season.

Watch again:
The A-Team (All Seasons)
The Guild (All Seasons)
The Tick: The Complete Series
Archer (Season 1): Over and over again.  Yuuup!
The IT Crowd (All Series): Also good to watch over and over again.
Strangers With Candy (All)
Stella (All)

Both Categories (cos I've seen some but not all):
Dr. Who (Starting back when Christopher Eccleston and Billie Piper were together, aka Season 1, through now.)
Wildboyz (maybe?)
Mythbusters (All Collections): I'm told I could probably get behind this in a serious way. 

Also: I can tell you now that you should not ever be fooled by Thirtysomething.  I thought, hmm, this show was huge when I was a kid and now I AM Thirtysomething so maybe I should check it out.  You don't need to check it out.  Let me guess, you already knew this.
