Some shows get a sort of "nostalgia exception" to my objections - like M*A*S*H. Even so, I can only watch one or two episodes at a time. Red Dwarf in small doses for me, too.
As for the lack of continuity thing, we've been re-watching original Star Trek lately, and Alistair wants to watch two discs at a time, because there are only two episodes per disc. Me, I want to watch half a disc at a time, because the episodes are great on their own, but stringing even two of them together makes one realize that the story arc pretty much hadn't been invented yet at that time, and it's a bit jarring.
