I will never get tired of...
Anything by Laura Kinsale. I've read Jane Eyre nine times and have read The Persian Boy by Mary Renault four times. Also anything with brave knights, damsels, swords, sorcerers and dragons never gets old.
Firefly. The camaraderie, the humor, the heart. I can't count how many times I've watched the series. "I aim to misbehave" is probably the best line in the 'verse. ;)
Aw, Jessica, I am totally with you there! We are so excited to finally be introducing our boys to Firefly!! Greatest feeling ever!
Tara wrote: "What is Firefly?"Oh, Tara, you just broke my heart! It's cowboys in space, by Joss Whedon! Absolutely brilliant, and far too short-lived. It has an amazing cast with Nathan Fillion, Gina Torres, Alan Tudyk and so many others! Love it so much. Here's more about Firefly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefly...
Dwayne,My favorite character in the Addam's Family is Thing. Just so expressive. : )
I watch Christmas Vacation starring Chevy Chase and Beverly DeAngelo whenever we come across it on TV. We own the movie and watch it every Christmas Day along with A Christmas Story. I never tire of sarcastic humor. : D

Uh-oh lol. Will try to make it right! Off to read more :)
Adams Family is awesome too though. When I was a kid I showed horses with my mom & little sister. Loooong road trips hauling the horse trailer all over the west coast. I used to flip my hair over the front of my face, put my glasses back on, and wave at cars as we passed (from the passenger seat, of course). Inspired by Cousin Itt. Now, if only I could've seen their faces! LOLTara, you must Netflix binge Firefly. You'll love it! "Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!"
To watch? Well you can't beat Blackadder IMHO.To listen to? Either the Bridge Over Troubled Water album (Simon and Garfunkel) or Nashville Skyline (Dylan).
To read? Tigana by Guy Gavriel Kay. Any Pratchett with the witches in. Brian Jacques. The Song of Hiawatha (Longfellow).
Probably more but I'm getting old-ladyish and list-y so I'll hush.
I'll never get tired of Bridget Jones. She is a blonde version of me. Always saying the wrong thing at the wrong time and giving me a good giggle. Also, mint chocolate, I'll never get tired of mint chocolate.
Addams Family is great! I love that stuff.
I can't get tired of Avatar the Last Airbender and Legend of Korra. It has humor, drama, and action. It's a beautiful blend that always brings my mood up. Same with Harry Potter. I've read and watched the series so many times. It's a treasure.

Okay, I'm stopping cuz...that's a lot, eh? *smirks*
Big hugsss,
Ann
EDIT: Ugh.
The Andy Griffith Show, All in the Family, The Jeffersons and Golden Girls. They don't produce shows like that anymore, (Bemoans the millenial :p)
Mod
Never could get into the Golden Girls for some reason. I like the cast, I just don't find it funny, somehow. But, I know about a million people who do like it. I love the other three on your list!
Metroid. I don't play many videogames and I pretty much peaked with the side scrolling awesomeness of the Super Nintendo, but I still have to bust out a Metroid game every so often. Come to think of it, Centipede in the arcade. I'll never get tired of shooting space bugs either.
Oh Christina! You gave me my answer! :PPC games: I will never get tired of Heroes of Magic V and its expansions.
Movies I can watch over and over and never get tired: Starman and Fluke. (Of course, during Christmas time, Home Alone is always fun to watch...)
Books: Well I don't typically read a book more than once, so I can't really name any,
TV shows: Moonlight (2007) and Starman (1987-88) Love LOVE those two.

And she said "so you guys have seen all these before?" and we told her many many times... but we still laughed at "how can you shame me in front of new people?"
Hi Dwayne,"You'll shoot your eye out!"
"SQUIRREL!!!!!
Hugs
Mr Ed and the Bob Newhart show are always funny

How about cats, I never get sick of those! Haha, wll, maybe for a few minutes if they break something of mine
Mod
Another of the shows I watch when I can on my long shifts. I never tire of that one, either.
Mod
Some of this discussion is edging really close to politics. Please keep away from that topic as the per the group rules. Thanks!
Kristin wrote: "How about cats, I never get sick of those! Haha, wll, maybe for a few minutes if they break something of mine"Oh my... I LOVE my cat but when she starts throwing up on everything everywhere, let's just say that if I am not tired of her I am sure tired of cleaning her mess!
Kristin wrote: "How about cats, I never get sick of those! Haha, wll, maybe for a few minutes if they break something of mine"Not a cat person. But I do have a big, black hairy pooch of whom I am inordinately fond. Ditto big pink hairy husband....
Mod
And to add one of my favorite Firefly quotes: "You can't open the book of my life and jump in the middle."
Terry Pratchett. Pretty much any of his books. Granny Weatherwax always makes me laugh.
Mod
Oh, how I love you offshot video game from a much bigger franchise that Squaresoft never really showed any love to afterwards.
I still play you all the time, and you are my favourite.

I like Blackadder the Third the best for the "Paris Fashion Show."
Food. Yeah, I know, we need it to survive, but I love food. Some people can just grab something on the go to shut their stomach up. Not me. I need to have a meal. A good meal. And I will annoy everyone around me with how good my food is.
Christina wrote: "Food. Yeah, I know, we need it to survive, but I love food. Some people can just grab something on the go to shut their stomach up. Not me. I need to have a meal. A good meal. And I will annoy ever..."Oh my, I get so grumpy when I am hungry. Hubby's always laughing about it, but he'll stop at a fast food restaurant or a sit in restaurant, depending on his mood when it's getting late so my humor doesn't change on him. :P
Christina wrote: "Food. Yeah, I know, we need it to survive, but I love food. Some people can just grab something on the go to shut their stomach up. Not me. I need to have a meal. A good meal. And I will annoy ever..."I'm with you there. I don't just want food, I want tasty, filling, satisfying food. In fact, thus far, I have yet to tire of the supreme pizzas we get from Schwan's. Delicious and quick to bake - can't ask for anything more.
I never tire of the movie Coraline. We have a massive movie collection, and out of all of them that's probably the one that gets watched the most by me, even though I pretty much have it memorized. That and Spirited Away.
I love playing video games but I do have a tendency to wander away from them after playing them for a while. But not with Guild Wars 2. Just when I think I'm getting bored with it, it manages to suck me back in, even if all I'm doing is running around a haunted maze farming for loot.
Secondhand Lions, Stand By Me, and Lone Star State of Mind.
I will never get tired of Farscape. There was something about that show that keeps me coming back to re-watch it every couple years. I never get tired of the dynamic and the amazing characters that were developed.

I've never read the book. I've only watched the movie. I should get that on my TBR pile.
I will never get tired of watching The Big Bang Theory. No matter how many times I have seen an episode in the past, I never fail to laugh as hard as I did when I watched it the first time.
I will never grow tired of watching Being Mary Jane. She is a journalist after my own heart and I love that the writers tackle social issues as well her crazy personal life. I will also never tire of eating muesli, to me it's the world's most perfect food.

Very clever script writers, eh?
I never get tired of my favorite podcasts, Ramin singing, and old Big Bang episodes.
My favorite episode is when the guys find the prop ring from Lord of the Rings.
Things I never tire of? That's a fun question.Lately I've been watching Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, and I don't think I'll ever get tired of Motoko Kusanagi. Or Tachikomas. Or the sound track. Or Origa's singing. So amazing...!
Guilty pleasure: I'm also not tired of Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake books.
And I'll never tire of Jelly Bellies. So many tasty flavors. Especially Juicey Pear. I want some right now!
I know it's just in theatres now, but I'm preordering Moana because I want to be able to watch it whenever I want. That movie was amazing.As of right now, I can't get enough of the soundtrack, and if I had the money I'd go see it in theatre again. I'll update you all in a year on whether I still feel like I'll never tire of it or if I've watched it so much I'm sick of it. Haha.
My favorite was the Christmas episode where Penny gave Sheldon the restaurant napkin :-)

Anita Blake rocks. But probably not for the easily shocked.....
For me, it's Friends. I could watch season after season and still laugh at the episodes like it's the first time I've seen them. Also, Disney movies, especially The Little Mermaid, Fantasia, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Frozen (yes, really), and Big Hero Six. Also, Labyrinth and Neverending Story. Forever!
I thought this could be a fun topic. Tell us one thing you never get tired of (or multiple things) and why (or not). But, remember... no bookwhacking. We all love our own books and never tire of them, so that goes without saying, right?
Anyway. I'm a sucker for campy sixties sitcoms, anyway, but my favorite is The Addams Family. I love fish out of water stories and a show about a strange and kookie family that does not understand how strange they are is hilarious to me.
What do I love the most? I think the love affair of Gomez and Morticia. How often on TV do you see a couple so in love with so many inside jokes? It's just fun seeing a married couple on TV that can still turn each other on, even if it's in weird ways.
I love Lurch. I love how nothing ever really makes him happy. I love how he moans when he knows things are not going to go well. He's clearly the brains of the family, but no one ever asks his opinion.
What is a show, a movie, a book, etc. that you never tire of?
