If I'm watching a show for the first time, then I always, always watch it in order from the very first episode. I like to see every episode of a show if I'm going to watch it. Now, if I've already seen the show before and I feel like watching it again, I might skip over a few episodes or even start at a later season depending on how I'm feeling. But for first time viewing, I always start from season 1, episode 1.
