We tried, but you didn’t watch and, as you, a trend maker or breaker, hadn’t given your imprimatur, they had to cancel it.
Sorry, but it’s entirely your fault. 
Yes, as I get the DVDs I am taking up WAY too much of my time watching the fun of Australia’s favourite crims. I’m up to the Myra years now.
I’d like to see a marathon of Soap.
I have no real desire to buy the DVDs, but if I could watch a marathon of it, I would.
Add me to the Firefly and Star Trek lists. Also, Golden Girls.
Dio got to The Larry Sanders Show before I could. Discovered it on HBO it’s last two seasons and used to be uncensored on a Canadian channel we get up here. Maybe it’s because I was late in getting into it, but it seems to me like one of those rare, GOOD shows that got even better in time, and had great last episode.
Other would be:
Ducktails
Arrested Development
The Office (either one)
Twilight Zone
Firefly
Second *The Muppet Show *and WKRP. Also Tales of the Gold Monkey, Hogan’s Heroes, Jeeves and Wooster, and Blackadder.
Banacek the George Peppard TV series from the 70s. There weren’t a lot of them, I have never seen a DVD available in Australia and whenever I have mentioned it to people they don’t know what I am talking about.
Cracker the Robby Coltrane series from Britain.
Another British series Journey to the Unknown a great series of fantasy stories, again not seen on DVD. This was from the late 60s and I’d love to see it again.
I’ve actually been running seasonal marathons of northern exposure in my house each week, watching a whole season per weekend for about five week ends so far. This weekend is just two episodes of it away season five. I dunno, I caught a few episodes when it was on a while back, but now that I re-watch it I can’t get enough. Maybe I’m wierd, I dunno.
Same for Black Books. I saw it recommended here in another thread, and I just been eating it up since. How many series are there in that one again?
Keeping the spirit of the OP who asked what one series we’d be willing to endure in marathon form…
Robotech. I’ve actually done this one multiple times over the years, including extras like the Sentinels or the various Robotech movies. And I’ll do it again! I love the Macross story and have read (and reread) the novels and comics… my ideal marathon would not only consist of watching the 85-episode series, but consuming all of the extras-- the two US movies, the Japanese Macross movie and OVAs, playing the games (both released and unreleased), watching Super Dimension Century Orguss just for the crossovers…
I’ve experienced (and even enjoyed) plenty of other marathons over the years. Cross-programming against the Jerry Lewis telethon has, over the years, given me marathons of Star Trek TOS, the Outer Limits, Twilight Zone, and more. Bored MTV programmers gave me marathons of Monty Python’s Flying Circus and the Monkees… (and a marathon of viewer-filmed videos for Madonna’s True Blue, which soured me on that song for life). My mom and I ponied up a bunch of cash and rented the entire Prisoner series (including the alternate Chimes of Big Ben!) on VHS in its first US release… a little numbing when watched back-to-back-to-back like that… more recently have watched Terminator: TSCC, Voltron, Wonder Woman, How I Met Your Mother, and the L Word in non-stop (if not marathon) fashion. Something about watching a single show for 12+ hours…
Firefly and Andy Richter Controls the Universe. I’ve never seen a single episode of the first (although I saw and liked Serenity), and I really liked the second. Both were all too short, as noted earlier, so in terms of endurance it shouldn’t be too much of a challenge (I assume I can take bathroom breaks).
In terms of good, old TV series I haven’t seen in far too long, MASH, Hill Street Blues, Seinfeld, The Tick, Monty Python and Star Trek: TOS, The Next Generation and DS9 would all be worth a look. I’d want to have a book or three with me, though, to read during the less-wonderful episodes.
My World and Welcome To It, came on before Laugh In . It was by Thurber and it had great writing. Funny show that evaporated.
The Shield and *Seinfeld *
One TV marathon I’ve always dreamed about is Bobby Flay Loses on Food Network–get every episode of Iron Chef and Throwdown where he gets his arrogant ass handed to him, and run them consecutively all day. I’d tune in! 
As for the OP, not that many come to mind: The Simpsons, Arrested Development, Barney Miller, Mission: Impossible, The Bob Newhart Show offhand, though it would come in handy for series before my time (Your Show of Shows, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., Hill Street Blues or ones I’ve missed because of pay cable (The Sopranos, The Wire, The Larry Sanders Show).

A director’s cut DVD with extras - I sense a best seller here!
I’d have to pick something with less than twenty hours of programming and that would be pushing it. Sorry, no eight day continuous marathons for me. So with a US hour long drama taking up 44 minutes that means I’ve got 27 episodes to work with or 54 half-hour long ones. That makes things simple:
Firefly
The Prisoner
Monty Python’s Flying Circus (the previous two being British actually run for their full time slot but there’s few enough episodes.)
And hey, let’s toss some anime on there since there’s quite a few entertaining series that just ran for a season (or half season as is more popular these days). It’s been a while since I watched Macross so I’ll go with that.
Heh, I own it on DVD
Scrubs hands down. That’s prolly the only one, too. The episodes have their own contained story arcs (to capture my attention), but are still part of a larger arc (to maintain my attention). Plus, I love the writing and J.D.'s kooky nature.
Night Court, totally. I’ve sat through a Night Court marathon before and would again.
Wow. While I like a lot of these shows, I don’t think I could force my biological functions to only work during commercials. Do most of y’all have access to TV while, say, in the bathroom?
