Pinky and the Brain/Animaniacs
Looney Tunes
Futurama
Fairly Oddparents
Southpark
King of the Hill
Jetsons
Flintstones
Shrek 1,2,3 and 4 all back to back (probably not 8 hours worth though)
Drawn Together
Neighbors From Hell (not quite enough episodes yet to make an 8 hour marathon with, but give them time.)
I’ve sat through Bugs Bunny marathons.
On the whole, I’d go with Reality Chuck’s – our tastes in cartoons converge.
1940s-1950s Chuck Jones (earlier Chuck Jones is, IMHO, awful. Sniffles the Mouse - yuk)
A Tex Avery retrospective
For Fun, a Bob Clampett-Frank Tashlin marathon
Rocky and Bullwinkle – seeing a couple of complete story arcs unbroken would be great.
Betty Boop (I’ve sat through one of these)
Maybe Popeye, although he might get repetitious after a while
The old Fleischer/famous Studios Superman cartoons
The Tick
I watched Season 1 and 2 of Futurama straight through when I got them on DVD. I could also sit through the Simpsons ro King of the Hill. Mid 90’s Nicktoons like Hey Arnold, Real Monsters, or Rocko would work too. I haven’t seen it in forever, but I remember liking Life with Louie.
Boondocks, Archer, Futurama, Southpark.
Another vote for the Roadrunner.
Danger Mouse
Yup. After my friend kept badgering me about watching this show, and insisting it would “change [my] life,” I finally sat down one bored Saturday and streamed season one on Netflix. I watched 6 episodes in a row, and the only reason I stopped there is because I had to go out. I watched the rest the next day.
I’ve done anime marathons at home before, but never in a theater. Back in the 90s, my brother had a friend who watched a lot of anime, and thanks to him I was able to do marathons of Evangelion, El-Hazard (both series)and Vision of Escaflowne. I also attempted to watch Fushigi Yuugi marathon-style, but had to go back to watching it one or two episodes at a time when one character death after another made the marathon approach unbearable. I can’t really do marathon viewings anymore, due to lack of time. However, now that I’m sick at home, I will attempt to watch season 1 of Hetalia Axis Powers, which should be simple since the episodes are about 5 minutes each.
I might watch a cartoon marathon in a theater, if it was some rare vintage cartoon, or something like the old Sick and Twisted festivals.
Samurai Jack
Super Chicken/George of the Jungle/Tom Slick
King of the Hill, which is less a cartoon than an animated sitcom with no laugh track.
The old Spawn cartoon that used to be shown on HBO.
Those are the only two cartoons I could see myself sitting through hours of…as they are the only cartoons I ever actually have sat through hours of.
I came in to say this, too, and that I have had the pleasure to sit through such a show, at the long-lost Uniondale Mini Cinema.
I’m relieved to see no one wants a Jabberjaw marathon.
Seconding Gargoyles and the Simpsons, and adding Inspector Gadget. Okay, I would need frequent breaks for that, perhaps put them in between hours of the Gargoyles and the Simpsons.
Beast Wars!
BUGS FRICKIN BUNNY!
It would, of course, have to have What’s Opera, Doc.
I’d pretty much watch any cartoon marathon in a theatre if it was with good company though.
If I was forced to watch Aqua Teen Hunger Force, though, I would probably just kill myself 10 minutes into it.
Ditto.
This. I could go way beyond 8 hours. Even though I’m an atheist . . . if there were a god, he would be Chuck Jones.
Warner Bros.
Jay Ward
Matt Groening
Probably Daria.
Though I’m getting into Boondocks and really enjoying it. Not sure if I could do an eight hour-a-thon, but maybe…
Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies
Tom and Jerry (even the Deitch reels, which were bizarre, and the Filmation episodes, which were in some ways even more so)
Beavis and Butt-Head, as long as the videos were included
