6. Fun fact: I've actually seen the full series just once.

With the exception of Season 4, which was the first season I actually saw, but then rewatched when I binged from Season 1 leading up to Season 5.

Yet I instantly knew upon watching it that it was arguably the finest thing to ever grace the small screen. It was just that damn good.

I guess I've been hesitant to re-watch it because I think I'm afraid I might find it not as mind-blowing incredible as when I first watched it, but I'm about done with that now and I think I might go ahead and rewatch it once again.
