Games: Ratchet and Clank series. All 12 of them. I even platinumed all the ones with trophy support on PS3, think it was 8.

Books: The Elric Saga, I guess. Not many book series have kept me interested enough to finish. If we count comic books, I've read every Spawn comic thus far. Accounting for all the spin-off comics, I would estimate it totals over 500 issues.

TV: The old Dr. Who (through the 8th doctor). To my surprise, I've even seen every Family Guy, Futurama, Simpsons, and X-Files episode thus far.

Movies: Star Wars, James Bond, Planet of the Apes.

Books - number one has to be Wheel of Time at 12,000+ pages. Finished Discworld and Dark Tower, up to date with Vorkosigan and Harry Dresden. Those are pretty substantial bodies of work.

TV Shows - I've seen every episode of every Stargate series. Finished all the Trek series except Enterprise. All of Family Guy. Buffy and Angel run twelve seasons. Pretty much all of Doctor Who (ALL of it, not just the new stuff) and I only say pretty much because I've never double-checked a list of episodes.

Anime - About half of Dragonball. It took Toonami so damn long to run all the episodes, I grew out of the series before it all showed. (Didn't have torrents or YouTube back then.) I quit around the time all the Saiyans figured out how to be permanently super. Tried to watch Bleach, made it about 24 episodes, gave up. Longest series I've completed have been standard 25-episode fare like Gurren Lagann and Escaflowne.

Games - Elder Scrolls has kept me busy for 150+ hours per title since Daggerfall, but you don't complete Elder Scrolls games so much as die of old age trying. Civilization lasted me a long time but I haven't tried all the games, I mostly played 2.

Movies - Pretty sure I've seen all the Bond films. All nine LotR feature films including Bakshi animateds and extended versions of Fellowship/Towers/King. All the Trek films.

Although, I do have the The Eye of the World sitting on my shelf at the moment, but have only read the prologue. What are people's opinions on The Wheel of Time series from people who have read it/most of it? I've heard that it seems to deteriorate in quality in the later books, but people tend to say that about everything.
I don't think it's as bad as people make it out to be, really. It's just LONGGGGGGGGGGGG. You have to buckle in for an extended mission. I know of marriages that lasted less time than it takes to read WoT. I'm happy to have done it, don't think I ever could again.
