Topic: Rerun Marathons

[goodguy]

My So-Called Life (19 episodes)
Wonderfalls (13 episodes)

I only have these two from the list, and I recently rewatched both.

Freaks and Geeks (18 episodes)

Maybe I should finally buy this one. It's on and off my wishlist for a few years.

Short series that are on my personal rerun list:
The Singing Detective
Ultraviolet
Profit

Here the final vote count:

Fawlty Towers (12 episodes) XX
Freaks and Geeks (18 episodes) XX
God, the Devil and Bob (13 episodes)
Greg the Bunny (13 episodes)
Grosse Pointe (17 episodes)
The Job (19 episodes)
My So-Called Life (19 episodes)
Police Squad (6 episodes) XXXXX
Spaced (14 episodes) XXX
That's My Bush (8 episodes)
The Thin Blue Line (14 episodes) X
The Tick: Live Action (9 episodes)
Undeclared (17 episodes)
Wonderfalls (13 episodes) XXX


Okay, let's kick it of with Police Squad.
Spaced, Wonderfalls and Freaks & Geeks are also series I am dying for a chance to rewatch. So we can start any of them in the near future also.
We have to see, that we get a selection of series running in parallel, so that as many interested DVD junkies as possible have something to watch. But we also have to keep attention, that it is not getting too much at once 
Of course anybody is invited to start and maintain a rerun marathon thread of a series he/she wants to rewatch.

But I suggest to keep it at a weekly interval for episodes of each series. This way it will not affect our other viewing pleasures that much.

Freaks and Geeks (18 episodes)

It's a great series (of course that's an subjective observation). Good acting, funny & dramatic storylines. ...and even though I went to school in Germany I still find a lot of things in there that remind me of my past. And yes, I was a geek

That's handy, will tick off my P in the alphabet marathon

The "funny" part is actually the reason why I still haven't bought it. I've seen a few episodes of Undeclared and some of Apatow's movies - let's just say, it is not my kind of funny.

Let's collect a list of series which would be good rerun material. Please nominate possible series. Then, let's say in a week or so, each of us will vote on the series, we are willing to join in on.

[Tom]

Nobody has any suggestions?

Here my suggestions:
Spaced
Wonderfalls
Buffy
Blackadder
Friends
The Office (BBC)
Red Dwarf

For the following I probably would be the only one having it:
Due South
Highlander

[richierich]

I again vote for Spaced

Please - not Friends   

[Najemikon]

Two for Spaced!

Can I vote/propose a Series I've never seen ?  Would that still be a rerun ?  I'm thinking of "24", I've never seen any episode and I'm told it's very good.

Of course. It is also allowed to join in on a series, even if it is your first time watching it.
For "24" somebody else would have to start a marathon thread though. I do not own it and I am not planning on buying it.

I'm thinking of "24", I've never seen any episode and I'm told it's very good.

Honestly? This rerun marathon format will not work. I certainly wouldn't be able to watch 1 episode a week only. With 24, I always end up binge watching it in 2-3 days. It's just that good!

[Touti]

I just realized 24 is up to season 5 or 6 if not more.  I can't do 1 a week and end up taking 4 years to watch the whole thing.  I'll get all seasons and watch the whole thing at once during the Christmas holiday, I'll turn it into the "Ultimate One Week Complete 24 Marathon".

Of crouse I also need 40 hours to watch "La Vie La Vie" which is becoming a Christmas Holiday tradition for me now.

[Achim]

From Tom's list I only own Spaced.

Unwatched and waiting are "The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr.", "Buck Rogers" and "The Avengers (Emma Peel)".


Wouldn't the trouble with 24 also be, that you can't really pick random episodes...?

I thought with this marathon we'd settle on a series/season, and then watch each episode, in order, 1 a week (or 2, or 3, or 4, however many the thread starter decides)?
