Meant to add that I have tried several times, but failed, to watch all three LOTR movies in one day.
Thanks to the wonders of Netflix, I do this all the time. Watched all of Strangers With Candy in a weekend. Started speaking like Jerry Blank and couldn’t stop.
I’m on Millenium at the moment . Now I’m sure everyone is a serial killer and the end of the world is imminent. Gah!

I’m not black like Barry White, no I’m white like Frank Black is.

I do this all the time, but the most notable was with Scrubs in April 2004 (Jesus, was it really almost two years ago?!) I was going through a really hard breakup and I watched the entire run of Scrubs up to that point (almost three full seasons) in three days. I didn’t sleep much or go to any classes.
By the end of it I had made myself into Dr. Cox. Despite being verbally abusive to my ex, we eventually started a sex-relationship that lasted for awhile.
Sledge Hammer series one. 22 episodes in four days. You all remember Sledge? Trust me I know what I’m doing.
Got it for my brother for Christmas and I had to check that all the DVDs played didn’t I?
Left no time for Red Dwarf VI though.
All 8 Seasons of SG1 that are on DVD. Took me longer than it should because I had to have the first 4 sent to me from home, and had to save and buy the last 4. I have also seen all of episode 9 that has aired so far. Going to do 24 next I think.

I’ve done it with sportsnight and roswell, pretty much. (What kind of time frame are we talking about here anyway?? It took me maybe two and a half weeks to watch all the Roswells, not sure how quickly I’ve been through my sportsnight DVDs, though I’m sure I have.)
Babylon 5 was one that Mrs D. and I both watched from start to finish. It was a totally original plotline and had engaging characters. We fell in love with it. We also watched all of the Star Trek Series (Except Enterprise) from start to finish.
Myself, I have the complete Monty Python TV Episode collection on DVD and have watched all of that. I also recently got the Fawlty Towers series, but haven’t seen it all yet.
Sports Night…arguably one of the most criminally canceled shows ever! That is until they kill Arrested Development.
Add that to my ever growing list…thank you Clanger.
Dick Van Dyke Show and Twilight Zone – at l;east, I started as soon as I could, but caught all the rest of the episodes up to the end.
Star Trek, of course
The Prisoner – easy, it’s short. Also Police Squad, Connections, and The Day the Universe Changed. Would you count Ken Burns’ The Civil War?
I regress into JD.
Elliot is soooo much like my girlfriend that the show has become an instruction manual of sorts.
How TV on DVD and DVR’s have changed the way I watch TV. (Crap that’s a lot of acronyms!) I now either Tivo a month of something before I watch or Netflix the entire season. I think it is my desire to not be left hanging until next week. I was screwed so many times as a kid where there was a Dukes of Hazzard 2 part epic that somehow I was unable to catch part 2 the following week.
Damned forced social interaction!
I still have unanswered Uncle Jesse questions! Oh well, off to Netflix I go!
I was in love with it from the very first episode. I turned to my (now ex-) husband and said, “Well, here’s a show that’s doomed to be canceled!” I was honestly very, very surprised that it made it to a second season; not because I didn’t think it deserved to, but because the ratings were always so low that I was sure it’d get the axe right away. 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 
Often, with anime. (While it’s not TV season, I would like to point out: friends don’t let friends watch all of Gundam 0083 followed immediately by Char’s Counter-Attack in one 12 hour festival. It’s dangerous.)
FX used to or still does show BTVS every weekday morning from 7-9 am on the East Coast. Since I have Directv and am on the eastern schedule (I LOVE that) that means that Buffy’s on early here in CA. This has afforded me the opportunity to watch in order all of the eps at least 5 times in a row. I would actually get angry when on a holiday or something they’d show eps out of order. I STILL cry during the final ep and had it TIVO’d so I could cry whenever I felt like it. The last season kinda sucked, but I really wanted Buff to love Spike (when she says she loves him and he denies it but thanks her was SOOO poignant) and was a hugely addicted fan in 2004-2005. So much so, that when pregnant with my second boy, I was gonna name him Jonathan Warren. Kinda like that name actually. Ended up with Adam (still a good ref).
I’ve also done this with Farscape - several times, actually :o . I’m planning to do it with the first and second seasons of Battlestar Galactica, as soon as I get them (plus the miniseries).
I did watch most of the first season of Stargate: SG1 this weekend. If it weren’t for the fact that I can’t afford all 8 seasons at once, I’d probably do it with those.
E.
I’ve had Futurama & Family Guy marathons on rainy weekends.
Last year, I watched 2 eps of MST3K every night and 4 each Saturday & Sunday until I’d watched every one. It took about 10 weeks!
Hamish and I have done this with countless anime series including Neon Genesis Evangelion, Fushigi Yuugi, Gundam Wing, Please Save My Earth, Fruits Basket, Mahou Tsuki Tai, Fake, His & Her Circumstances, Gravitation, and X, and we’ve started a number of series such as Ranma 1/2, GTO, and Kyou Kara Maou.
And do you find yourself doing a lot of walking during those conversations? I know I tend to start walking faster when I’m under the influence of that.
