Enterprise: The most rewatchable show?

I like the Forge and Awakening a lot. I also enjoy anything with the Andorians. They are just great! I wish we had the series on DVD some day.
 
I have never watched past the 3rd or 4th episode.
TOS is the most rewatchable because there isn't some huge story arc. They are more or less all stand alone episodes.
Voyager...if I am working at home I will turn it on Netflix and not really pay that much attention to it. Not really that interesting in the first place.

I've had it on DVD for more than 10 years, only because I didn't have a BluRay player at the time. It is available on both media since it was produced in Hi Def.
 
I watch ENT first time via online stream, then bought Blu-Rays last year and last week ordered Limited Edition DVDs with wonderful boxes (2006) from ebay and waiting them with patience. :D They look great!

I have had the four season DVD set since they first came out. They’re sure cool looking but terribly bulky in a suitcase.
 
I have all four seasons of Enterprise dvds I really like the commentaries for the episodes Impulse and North Star.Also the hidden little video snippets about characters and interviews with the actors are fun to watch from the original dvds that came out in 2006.

Ahh, right place/ enough place/ at least "the place" is a common problem of all kind of collectors. Nevertheless, since lifespan expectations of DVDs vary from 25 to 100 years, it is time to rewatch them. :D
 
Some of its rewatchability for me is technical: first genuine 35mm widescreen Trek series, with switch to HD for 4th season so production values are generally strong.

Fave seasons are 2, 3 & 4. S2 began to show some humour and character/story development, particularly Carbon Creek. The S1 episodes I like are ones I can watch on streaming as a double bill: S1 'Fusion' and S2 'Stigma'. I also like the beginnings of continuous story arcs in S2: Minefield and Dead Stop. Like @teacake , probably on 5th rewatch thanks to Netflix.

Yes, besides, this is THE ONLY show that fits exactly on most of the TV screens today ... not bloody 4:3 or that annoying 2.35:1

Why, Star Trek, WHY!?
 
Personally I consider DS9 to be the most rewatchable in terms of a series, though perhaps not if you're looking for standalone episodes to randomly rewatch. OTOH, I think DS9 may have the best ratio of rewatchable episodes once you've seen the series, and I don't really see how there's too many characters to keep track of.

I have ENT on disc and haven't even cracked it open yet, though I might have if I hadn't gotten distracted by DISCO and other shows. It's at least doing better than VOY, which I haven't even purchased.
 
I'm currently going through a watch of all the series and movies in order, and realized something that I found somewhat surprising: Whilst I don't consider Enterprise to be the best Trek series (but certainly not the worst!), it's definitely the most rewatchable.

If I compare it to, say TOS; it doesn't have the fiercely inventive spirit of that series, but I don't dread the many (imho) collosal duds that TOS had. Nor does it require me to keep track of the many characters and plots of DS9, which often means I can't easily just dip in and out of that show.

I don't mean to damn with faint praise, because I think Enterprise has a great, positive vibe to it, a likeable cast, great ship, and some great adventure stories. I guess what I'm trying to say is that it occupies a happy medium that means that if I just fancy an episode of Star Trek one evening, Enterprise is my go-to show.

I don't know if this is true because I can't speak for everyone but I think one of the reasons might be due to it being the youngest of the non-CBS shows. People haven't seen the episodes over and over as much as the other ones. For me I am also watching it and I also find it very rewatchable. TOS and DS9 are the most IMO. TNG is as well when I am feeling sad because it has the most nostalgia for me.

You make a good point. The CBS All Access series are of course newer, but due to their heavily interconnected storylines from episode to episode, I feel like I have to watch a bunch of them together in order to get into the storyline.

With Enterprise, it is still a relatively new show, but more episodic- thus requiring a shorter time commitment.

Of course, there's a lot of things intrinsic to Enterprise to recommend it as well IMO, but the combination of relative newness and accessibility certainly helps.
 
I consider TNG the least rewatchable when you remove people's sentimental attachment.
I find TNG to be the most rewatchable as it has the strongest one off episodes like Yesterday's Enterprise and BOBW or anything that lets Patrick Stewart really show how good he is. DS9 is my favourite and Stewart aside it had the strongest cast but it's best episodes are arcs so a rewatch takes time
