Might want to give a minimum number of seasons just to keep it sane. 
Similar thread from 2014 here:
Long-Running shows that you've watched every single episode through good, bad, & ugly

From that other thread, I posted:
In addition to those, I could add lots of comedies: The Brady Bunch, Cheers, Home Improvement, I Love Lucy, Married with Children.
From a post later in the thread, I'm reminded of Friends and Tales from the Crypt.
Just in the last year, I've added The Dick Van Dyke Show and The Twilight Zone to the completely watched pile.
I should finish Breaking Bad and Dexter within the next couple of weeks.

Thanks to the revealing outfits, I'll admit to watching an episode or two of "Two Broke Girls" to completion.

Re: What TV shows have you watched to completion?
After pondering the question, there have not been that many shows that I watched every season, especially growing up in the 80's & 90's. Shows like Family Ties, Growing Pains, Coach, Roseanne, and even The Wonder Years I bailed somewhere before the show ended. I think it's easier to finish a show now with less episodes and less seasons compared to the old days of 24 episodes a season.
These are the shows off the top of my head that I watched from start to finish:
Comedies:
Three's Company
Cheers
Seinfeld
King of Queens
Eastbound & Down
Dramas:
The Sopranos
Breaking Bad
Mad Men
Banshee

Re: What TV shows have you watched to completion?
Don't most of the shows you watch you watch to completion? It would be easier for me to make a list of shows I watched that I didn't watch to completion. I mean I guess if you're watching a lot of braindead CBS sitcoms and procedurals then they're easy to watch randomly and never complete them.

Re: What TV shows have you watched to completion?
Yeah, I'd have way too many to list, even starting from the year 2000, never mind all the earlier series of which I've watched every episode. Getting into foreign series (mainly UK and Aussie) would probably come close to doubling the number.

Re: What TV shows have you watched to completion?
Basically every show I have ever started. That's just the way shows are watched. I don't just stop after a few seasons. Just like I never miss an episode and watch every show in order since I was a kid. It would be dozens upon dozens. Likely over a couple hundred since I was a kid.

Re: What TV shows have you watched to completion?
I'm a lightweight when it comes to watching complete runs of series. I think these are the only ones which lasted more than one season that I'm absolutely sure that I've watched every episode:
The Addams Family (2 seasons)
Friends (10 seasons)
Tales from the Crypt (7 seasons)

Re: What TV shows have you watched to completion?
Okay, I've tried to do it for my own interest. Though I realize that the longer I look, the more I find.
This is the list so far. BTW, my biggest regret (by far) of these is Falling Skies.
* are for ongoing shows
North American
UK and Aussie (and one from Brazil)
