24 marathon
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: jmathey

Has anyone heard if there is going to be a 24 hour "24" marathon on one of the upcoming holidays? I think they either did it on Memorial Day or 4th of July last year.

I missed a couple of episodes during the season and wouldn't mind catching up, aside from waiting for the DVD in the fall.

Regards
John

I believe they've done it on Labor Day the past 2 years. To kind of get you revved for the new season. But given that Season 4 won't start until January, it seems unlikely they'll do so again this year.

Well, I'll be having a 24 hour "24" marathon this weekend :) All 24 episodes sitting on my DTiVo waiting for me and the lady to watch this weekend! :)

As someone who missed the first run of the first and second seasons, I have to say that I prefer watching them in this fashion, rather than the once-a-week airings. We rented the first seasons DVDs and TiVo'd the second season Labor Day marathon, and loved it. This season was more frustrating, having to watch just one episode at a time.

I must agree. I didn't get hooked on this show until midway through the second season, I never even saw the first season until they came out on DVD. I went out to blockbuster and rented the first DVD. After the first 4 episodes, I was instantly hooked, to the point I was running out to BB at 12:00 midnight to get the next DVD.

Also agree. We missed the beginning season and rented the DVDs when they came out the fall that the second season started. We would sit down to watch one episode, end up watching all 4 on the DVD and run to Blockbuster the next day to get the next DVD. Once we were caught up on Season 1, Season 2 had already begun. (We did not have TiVo until December of that year.) So, we waited until FX did the Season 2 marathon (think it was August), cleared TiVo of everything and recorded Season 2. We watched them, three or four episodes at a time, then were able to TiVo Season 3. We have been watching several episodes at a time, and are down to having three left

Sad to hear it will be so long until Season 4 begins....
