Do you like when they show marathons of your favorite shows?

I have to say that I do like when they run marathons on my favorite tv shows. There are so many from the 70's that I like. My husband love when they have a Star Trek athon. He likes the next generation but my favorite one is the old shows with Captian Kirk. My daughter loves Buffy and Angel so if they would ever hold a marathon on one or both of these shows she would definately be glued to the television. My dad loves all in the family so if that would ever come on my dad would be watching it but my mom would not. This is one show that she never learned to like. I think it has something to do with the theme sound. The high pich of Edith bunkers voice. To get to the point I would definately watch marathons on television shows gone by.

I really do like television marathons, but unfortunately they are always on cable it seems like. I would love to watch a marathon of The Big Bang Theory, but of course CBS doesn't have the kind of scheduling during the daytime hours. This being Labor Day the marathons are all over the place. For instance, I like that Dirty Jobs is having a marathon, but they do something that bugs me when they have a marathon. After about five episodes in, they start over again airing those same five episodes. I don't want to see the same five episodes three time during the stupid marathon! Although I personally can't sit through an entire Dirty Jobs marathon anyway.

I love it when they have marathons of my favorite shows. Sure, I can't sit there and watch every episode but when its a day long marathon, I get to come back to it whenever I can. It's great! Sometimes I have my own personal marathon and put on a DVD from a season of one of my favorite TV shows and watch episode after episode after.... LOL

Frankly, marathons annoy me as they are all reruns and I get so bored with reruns. LOL So I tend to watch a marathon of a show I've not seen much before and then I love them, cause I get to see all the shows back to back! LOL So they could go on forever as far as I'm concerned in that case.

They are fine but i am not one to sit that long & watch hours of anything. I have really not watched much tv all summer. Happy days to u.

To be really honest, marathons of the same show really do drive be nuts, but there was one time that I was quite thankful for them. My husband and I both really enjoyed watching Pitchmen on the Discovery Channel. When they showed the marathon of the show, we set our DVR to record all of the episodes. We didn't sit in front of the television all day and watch every single episode, but we have them all so we can watch them whenever we like. I guess my attention span just isn't long enough to watch a television marathon.

If it's a show I like such as Bones, Roseanne, Law and Order, CSI...then yes, I like it. I don't get anything else accomplished but I like to see them. Since we don't have cable anymore we watch most of our tv on the computers...I can watch as much or as little as I want and I can do other things while I'm watching it.

i do if its a show that they dont do it all the time with.. i mean i love roseanne and house but they have had marathons like every week it seems and then the same episodes each time and it drives me nuts

I love marathons. But it has to be on a show that I really love. I watched the Golden Girls marathon on labor day, but Hallmark kept repeating the episodes and I didn't like that. I have also watched the twilight zone marathons to.

Hello my friend Bethany1202 Ji, WEll, I think you are vividly talking about 'Law of marginal Utility' in economics, where a saturation point comes when nothing works. There is particular behaviour when everything ceases. We say that we have reached satisfactory stage. Or a change is required. In my case, I do not want to view any repitition. At times channel keep broadcasting same news even after 24 hrs with a tag 'Emergency'. I do not like such things. i can never concentrate more tahn one hr at the maximum at a stretch. May God bless you and have a great time.

I love marathon shows as it allows me to catch up on a lot of episodes I've missed. I haven't actually sat through a marathon series for awhile now. I used to sit through the USA marathon of Charmed, Cartoon Network's Naruto marathon, and Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations. I love tv marathons as they give some sense of continuity.

I like marathons sometimes, but I don't think I have ever sat down and watched a full marathon. The could go on forever. But, when they are all day it is nice you can catch them at any hour and not have to schedule it, unless there is a specific episode you want to see. Sometimes they are nice because if there is nothing else on, but you still want to veg and watch tv you can at least depend on your favorite show being on if they are having a marathon.

yes i do like it. i watch shin chan i love this cartoon :) and they sometimes show the marathon of this cartoon and i just watch all the episodes without any problem, i just love it. and the other one is the tom and jerry, this is another one which i like to watch the marathon of.

I like marathons of certain shows but have never just sat and watched a marathon. For the I like them because I know I can watch some now and some later. I think no matter how much I liked a show I just couldn't sit and stare at it for hours!

If I missed an episode ,I like them. But if I saw all the episodes the first time,then I stay away.An exception? When along loved show returns like Taxi or Barney Miller. I would watch that marathon.

Sometimes, but then I always sit there and watch a lot of them. Most of the time they show the ones I haven't seen so its nice to catch up the lost episodes. some of the time I just turn it on and keep it as background noise until I hear something interesting and then I'll plant myself and root.

every holy week we do have marathons, and on christmas and new years day. i don't really like marathons. cause i don't get to watch the regular shows i get to watch on those days. they do away those regular shows to give way for those marathons. i do get bored watching them cause most of the marathons are replay and i have seen them mostly before. but i do believe that long hours of marathons are for the reason that people can watch any time of the day.

i also enjoy watching marathons its good coz sometime when you miss just one episode it feels like you miss the whole season so just to refresh your memory

Hello Bethany1202 Two marathons I actually look forward too, Honeymooners and twilight zone no mater how may times I have watched this I never seem to get enough, especially the Honeymooners I don't like the fact its start so late past few years I feel asleep on it the new year will not feel right without Ralph/Norton/Alice/Trixie , guess you can tell I am hooked this show never gets boring to me, look forward to the marathon this year and every year after.

I enjoy the Law and Order marathons on USA otherwise I get bored too easily with marathon tv shows. More than 4 episodes and I'm ready to walk away.
