movies/tv How much have you watched in one sitting?

[Pony Of The Month 534]

I wasn't exactly sure where to put this thread.

 

So, tonight I'm planning to watch:

The last 3 episodes of the sixth (and final) season of The Powerpuff Girls (I've been watching the entire series).

 

The Powerpuff Girls Rule!!! (the 2008 reunion/series finale special)

 

The Powerpuff Girls Who, What, When, Where, Why, How... Who Cares (A 35 minute documentary about The Powerpuff Girls)

 

And I'm going to rewatch the entire 3rd season of My Little Pony

 

 

 

I'm planning to watch all of that in one sitting. I have been planning on watching season 3 in one sitting ever since it started. I don't have any desire to watch the other 2 seasons in one sitting, because they're too long. 

 

So, my question, is how much have you ever watched in one sitting? And what did you watch?

Hrm... I would have to say my Buffy marathon one year. All seven seasons in a single sitting. I swear my cat could talk by the time it was over.

The longest time I sat staring at a TV is when my dad said. "Hey, you guys need to watch the Lord Of The Rings Trilogy with me, I got the DIRECTORS CUT." and..yeah, longest time ever. In fact I think I fell aleep in parts of the second one.

I remember watching FLCL all at once

But the whole series is only 6 episodes long

I usually just watch one episode of a series

Then I'll go do something else, and then I'll watch another episode

I probably had only managed watching all of FLCL at once

Because it was at midnight and there was nothing else to do

Though there are some series which I've watched 3 episodes at once to

But that only happens when it's late at night

Oh god, I'd die partway through watching all of that. I remember when I was a lot younger, I had the capacity to watch lots of TV and play the same game for a very long time. I won't say that I get bored, but rather, I just get really uncomfortable doing that stuff for too long.

 

A year ago when I started watching MLP, I got through S1 at about 4 episodes a day, I think. That's a pretty reasonable length. Definitely far from my longest, which I can't really remember at all.

Before going to watch the sixth Harry Potter movie, I watched the first five front to back. 11 hours (Chamber of Secrets DVD broke about 2/3 in, so would've been longer), and I enjoyed every moment of it.

I remember watching FLCL all at once

FLCL one of my all time favorite animes and the fact that is so short is amazing too.

 

I remember watching like 25 episodes of Soul Eater in one day which is a lot for me. I saw the whole season one of MLP: FIM too in one day.

I'm a monster when it comes to watching marathon runs of TV shows, movies, novels, games, you name it I've probably spent 18hrs or more strait doing it at one point or another. Last Saturday I watched all of walking dead. I watched 4 seasons of breaking bad in one day (last year). I watched 5 seasons of dexter in 1.5 days (no sleep). All of buffy took about 2 days (slept for 5 hours).

 

I typically read about 3 novels of 700~1000 pages a week when I don't watch TV or movies (when i'm on break, so no homework).

 

Pro Tip: Depending on the show you can normally watch it at 1.2 to 1.7 x the normal speed and still understand everything being said.

 

When I decided to watch all of Pokemon I was able to crank the speed to 3.2x and still understand what people where saying. God, Pokemon is an awful TV show (I gave up after the third season).

I'd have to say about 3 DVDs of the Cowboy Bebop box set when I was watching it while tearing scrap appliances down to be sold. 

[Betez 1,734]

I think the most I've ever watched mlp was when I first started watching it, back in July. I watched like 10 episodes in one day.

[Dusty Soul 2,611]

I don't watch tv that much, though one time was different.  I was on my couch and I was comfortable.  I watched 5 hours of tv.  I'm not proud.

[Yes-Man 597]

I dunno. I'll probably get myself sit down and watch some old Oswald cartoons, which should last me a few solid hours, at the least.

[Bunni 1,075]

I remember managing to watch 25 episodes of an anime in one sitting. Had problems sleeping afterwards since I decided to stop after the 25th episodes clfifhanger.

 

Haven't watched many animes in a while so might do something like that again soon ^^

(All tho not too much. Dun wanna fry my brain much more.)

I think my max is about 5 or 6 episodes of MLP, but usually before I can get past 3 my dad tells me to take a break. -.-

Oh, but when I'm at my cousin's house, we can pretty much sit through a whole season!

[Veronica The Miffvixen 232]

I once watched 51 episodes of Sonic X in one sitting. It hurt me very badly.

 

There's some shows you just shouldn't marathon at all. That's one of them.

[MMFAN 198]

When I first decided to give MLP a chance and see if there was something to this cartoon, (this comes from my love of Avatar the last Airbender and the following it generated). Long story short I ended up watching the whole first season in a single sitting. I'm currently tapping my foot in anticipation for the 4th season.

[Soviet Spy 31]

OHOHOHOHOH.

 

One day I sat in my living room, turned on the blu-ray, and watched almost two full seasons of Doctor Who. That is a great show, you should watch it if you haven't already.

 

Also when I first found Soul Eater I watched the entire series within a couple of days. BTW, if you didn't know, the manga is a lot more innapropriate than the show.

[Starflower 323]

I watched three full seasons of Full House. Seasons 1-3. In one night. No skipping episodes. And still managed to get enough sleep.

 

How did I do that? I don't know. I'm willing to do the same with seasons 4-6 next time.

[Megas 27,567]

The entire 3rd and 6th season of King of the Hill in one sitting, as well as a good half of season 1 of FiM whenI first started watching the show

[Jokuc 8,173]

Well it was when me and two other friends watched a bunch of different horror movies which I chosed. We sat for around 50 hours watching different movies. Though my friends fell asleep after the first night. I remember me still being awake when they fell asleep, I drew stuff on their faces with a pen and then I watched Psycho, hah.

[Dashmagic 19]

Not sure about other shows but MLP I've watched a solid 10 episodes in one sitting. 220 minutes, about 4 hours. Bit less.

 

This was back when I hadn't seen them all yet though, a few weeks ago when I was still new. My parents were out (I hadn't told anyone) and my brother was asleep so I watched the last 10 episodes of season 2 I think it was. Awesome.

[MelancholicMemory 2,025]

I got so sick once that I couldn't even get up. There was a PPG marathon on at the time, so I watched every episode in once sitting once. I've also watched the first half of Death Note in one sitting, as well as the entire first season of MLP.

[Schism 26]

I'm not really sure, whenever I start on a series I usually try to finish it as quick as possible. I think it was when I watched two and half seasons of Doctor Who in one sitting. Other than that, I've been on anime marathons where I would finish four entire series in one go.

 

Which reminds me, I still need to binge on Twin Peaks.

[Sir.Flutter Hooves 2,953]

I've watched a full season of The Simpsons, half a season of the Walking Dead, and the 2nd season of MLP:FIM. All in one sitting, and it took alot out of me.

 

Thanks and bro hoof /)

[fluffpudge 148]

Man..when I'm older, I'll probably just sit down for a weekend and pull an all-nighter, just watching MLP episodes..I think the most I've watched in a single sitting is the entire first season (at least up until the current episode at the time) because I was absolutely hooked by the first episode. Then again, I feel like I might have gone through and watched the full second season at some point last year? I'm not quite sure anymore!

 

I'm not really one to just sit there and watch tv though- I get so distracted easily, I just feel like I have be to be doing something else at the same time as it!
