Marathons this weekend: what should I watch? And why?

I’m tempted by 24 – haven’t seen it and a lot of folks around here seem to love it.

What else is on? What should I watch?

Dang, thanks for reminding me about the 24 marathon... YES. See it. Watch it. Love it. I'd better get the TiVo ready.

I just (2 days ago) upgraded my replayTV to an 80 gig HDD so I can record this .


I would definitley say watch the 24 marathon, it sucked me in when it was on weekly and I think it'll be even better without the wait between episodes.

There's a "Good Eats" marathon on Food Network. I mean, if you like that kind of thing. [/sissy]

Is anyone considering a 24 hour "24" marathon? I've been thinking about this. The fX marathon starts at midnight. If I get Dominos on speed dial and plenty of cigarettes it would be very cool to watch 24 in "real time".

I have a feeling watching 24 episodes consecutively would only further accentuate the lack of the 24-hour mentality in much of the show.

I gotta do Good Eats on Sunday (he's showing the top 12 episodes as voted by viewers), then a few of my favorite Star Trek TOS episodes on Monday (Scifi chan).

Looking at Yahoo TV Listings, there are some other marathons going on:
  • "VIP" on TNN
  • "Star Trek" on Sci-Fi
  • "Single in the City" on WE
  • "A Baby Story" on TLC
  • "Behind the Music" on VH1
  • MTV 2 on MTV
  • "Incredible Vacation Videos" on Travel Channel
  • "Law and Order" on TNT
  • "Murder She Wrote" on A&E

Now that's just what I see on my TV Listings. I could be wrong, so you'd have to check yourself.

I'm going with the S Club 7 marathon. Why should you watch?

Because of them. . .








& especially her. . .
