I watched ever Trigun, every Cowboy Bebop, and every Pete and Pete in one sitting. That was a great Lan Party ---

I’ve seen all seven seasons of _MacGyver_, every episode. Spike TV airs it each weekday and goes through the entire series in about six months. I have seasons 1-3 on DVD and plan to pick up season 4 soon. ---

> [@TellMeI'mNotCrazy](#): > > It was only because of my near-worship of Aaron Sorkin that I ever checked out West Wing. Shame they canceled it after the 4th season 😉 I did the same thing. I bought season one of the West Wing solely because Aaron Sorkin wrote it. I have also convinced myself that seasons 5 onwards of WW are, in fact, a completely different show that coincidentally has the same title and features the same characters (actually, now that I think about it, this is arguably really the case). ---

I’ve done this with _24_. I love the show, but please God, not another marathon ever again. ---

I watched the first three seasons of 24 over the summer, and then season 4 over about 2 weeks in december. Season 4 was a bit harder to stomach then the first 3. ---

_Firefly_ (easily done, as mentioned) _Buffy_, _Alias_ (DVD released only) and _Faulty Towers_. I’ve been through the entire first three seasons of _The Sopranos_ (catching up on the episodes I’d missed), and I’m working my way through season two of _Stargate: Atlantis_. ---
