So last night, after watching a screener of Talk to Me, my wife and I were flipping through the channels and stopped on Shawshank Redemption. I know this movie has a reputation for being sentimental crack for men, but I only lasted until Andy blasted Mozart over the prison PA, while my wife, who is normally out like a light once the clock hits 10, stayed up until 1:30 watching a movie she's already seen about five times. It was Friday night, and I was wiped out, but if we'd landed on an episode of The Sopranos or BBC Office or Scrubs or Little Britain, I definitely would not have been able to tear myself away. What about you? Which reruns do you find completely impossible to resist?

Sopranos does it for me too. Doctor Who... I used to stay up all hours for Cheers reruns on Nick at Night.

I used to have a sick and embarrassing obsession with "That '70s Show" reruns. The "authentic" (yeah right!) clothes amused me and I kept thinking it might get funnier. Needless to say, I'm over it.
(This should be a gallery, by the way. With Rerun the character as the DL touting image.)

i can't resist seinfeld reruns. to this day, there isn't an episode that doesn't make me laugh.

This should totally be a PopWatch entry! I can resist all reruns because they have commercials. I stockpile Law & Order SVU's on the DVR and use that as "default programming."

But, OMG, Little Britain is so good. I'd watch that.

"Remember the Titans" is my "Shawshank Redemption" - I cannot even count how many times I've seen it at this point!

I'll second Remember the Titans. Otherwise I don't think I could list them all. But I'll add Troop Beverly Hills since its almost cookie time
