TV Marathons
Do you watch TV marathons? (Meaning a TV network showing multiple episodes of a TV show in a row) The Star Trek: Voyager Season Four marathon is on in Australia at the moment and there is a 24: Season Two marathon coming up later this month.

It's better if you have the DVDs, no commercials, plus you pick the potty breaks.

True, but I don't I want to buy Season 2 of 24 on DVD even though it's an awesome season. (Plus sometimes they marathon seasons of shows that haven't been released on DVD yet... like Star Trek: Voyager Season Four.
 )

We had a 1st season of 24 marathon last year in Finland.
If I remember correctly it took over a day. I didn't watch a single episode, but anyway I think that was the only tv marathon ever in Finland

I sometimes hold anime-series marathons with a series that'll last for about eleven hours. But I'm not really a marathon-man. I get a headache fast ^_^;

It was kind of a joke actually...a season of 24 has 24 hours in it...it would take "almost" all day...never mind
 Anyway, since it looks like I'm responsible for derailing this thread, I guess the least I could do is respond to the actual question. Usually when there's a marathon on TV it's because there's nothing else on. I don't usually watch a lot of any marathon, but I'll sometimes watch a little bit of the SciFi Channel's Twilight Zone marathons whenever they're on. And yes, DVD is much better. Kind of makes you wonder if there will be a place for all day TV marathons in the future. mag |

Theoretically you were right, Mag... a season of 24 has 24 hours, WITH commercial breaks. But if you watch it on dvd, or zip through the breaks...

TV Marathons make me weep in their pointlessness, as do 'double bills' or 'back to back episodes' which dodgy British satellite channels seem so keen on. If I want to follow a series, I don't necessarily want to have to sit around for three hours at a time watching episodes one after another with no break. Still, it probably makes them lots of money, and that's all that matters right?
