Literally forever. You don't have access to any other series. Sort of like desert island discs, but tv series, and only 1. You can sit on the island and watch it on loop, I guess.

The Office US.

(buy the physical dvd box set, use packaging as firewood, Dwight style).

Neighbours.

It's not good enough to binge too much, so you won't burn thorough it quickly, but it's entertaining enough. And it's got more than 200,000 hours to watch. That would take 10 years at an hour per day.

I say all that, but I haven't watched it since about 2004. Maybe it's actually terrible.

Neighbours.......

It's a bold strategy, I'll give you that.
 
I feel like almost anything you pick would turn from love to hate unless going left field and suffering a long running soap. Honestly, if you were being tortured and alone for long periods of time with nothing to do but watch the same TV series over and over, a crappy soap like Coronation Street or Neighbours etc might be the best possible option if only for the variation of characters and lack of repetition.

Assuming it's the only form of TV media you can view, anyway. Otherwise I'd pick my favourite and make an event of watching it once every year or two. I can still read, play games, watch movies, fish, or do many other things.

Countdown.

While picking a favorite such as SG1 or Trek would be my first choice, after a while it would still be repetative and boring.

Countdown on the other hand lets you flex your brain, so each run through is likely to be just as entertaining/challenging as the last. And there must be thousands of episodes, so would be pretty much fresh all the time.
 
Tricky one - I can't rewatch most stuff very often, SG-1 has some good stuff but also lots of stuff which does not hold up to repeat viewing, I quite like Firefly but don't think that would last long. West World if it had like 8-9 seasons as good as season 1 would be a definite. Fringe has quite a lot going for it but I did kind of lost interest halfway through despite it apparently picking up again.

I'd probably pick House as it has several seasons and a good mixture of humour and more serious drama.

I have it on repeat during the day, my #1 show of all time.
 
Seeing as I’ve already watched the entire series of The Office US three times now, I’m going to plump for The Big Bang Theory instead. It’s got to be a comedy series for a desert island to keep the spirits up with a joke a minute so that you constantly forget them and it’s still fresh second, third and fourth time round…

Neighbours though - that’s impressive big brain thinking!
 
I think I've rewatched The Wire more than most shows so it could probably be that.

Though maybe a long running and episodic based show would be better suited as I'd probably get bored of a show with an overreaching plot
