I Hate Law & Order Marathons
I've been watching Law & Order for the last 7 hours, and there's no end in sight. *sigh* Why are these old episodes so damn good?

Why doesn't Universal just create a Law and Order cable channel.
Law and Order, all day, every day. I'm also talking about the spin-offs such as Special Victims Unit and Criminal Intent. You can even include that reality "spin-off" Crime and Punishment.
Come on, all those episodes combined come out to almost twenty days of solid television.

I know! Once I sit down to watch one, I end up spending hours watching this show. The thing is, there's a lot of episodes that I haven't seen, so there's always a bunch that are new to me.
Same thing happened yesterday with TV Land's "Cheers" marathon. My day (and part of the night) was shot.

I've resisted the urge by watching The West Wing Marathon on Bravo... Hey I know once you start a L&O marathon there's nowhere to run!

And it's over.
The funny thing is, I should've spent the better part of today studying for the bar exam, concentrating on tomorrow's criminal procedure bar review lecture. I guess there could've been worse things to watch, in that respect.

Finally. I watched every episode. After a point, it only seemed right to finish it out. It'll be a complete TNT sweep now as I watch the Lakers tear apart the Wolves, ruining an otherwise good day.

I watched most of it.
District Attorney Lewin gets on my nerves more then Serena so I skipped those episodes.
USA should be doing an SVU marathon over the summer so we all have that to look forward too

My ReplayTV got quite a workout today since I have it set up to record all Law & Order episodes.
Now if there was only a way to set it up so it can only record the Rohmless episodes.

I got sucked in too. The really sad thing is that I've seen almost every episode (could have missed one or two over the years) - and most of those I've seen at least two or three times. Why? Because every time I'm flipping through the stations (i.e. nothing on my dvr to watch) and the original L&O is on - I watch. And that doesn't count the fact that I watch it and two eps of NYPD Blue (which I've also seen at least twice) on TNT from 10-1 every day. Oh, and often catch it in the evening as well. I do skip the eps I've seen four times, because there are limits.

There are 393 episodes of Law and Order.
There are 183 episodes of Special Victims Unit.
There are 133 episodes of Criminal Intent.
There are 26 episodes of Crime and Punishment.
There are 13 episodes of Trial By Jury.
You even have that Law and Order spin-off TV-movie with Chris Noth.
That's 750+ hours worth of material that could last for over a month now.
