Marathon watching- I've just watched all 193 episodes of the OT in just 12 days

I have been OT'd out these past couple weeks! These were from my "homemade" collection, with 6 (sometimes 5) episodes on a DVD, and includes many special features that the "official" ones lack, such as extra voice actor interviews, a David Wise interview, some Kevin Eastman interviews, commercials related to TMNT from Playmates to FHE to Burger King, and even scans of the first 11 issues of the Mirage comics. At around 145 minutes a disc and with 33 discs in all, it has a total runtime of 4785 minutes (that's 100 times the "47 minutes" I was so used to on those FHE tapes growing up!) Almost 80 hours of mostly OT-related footage, and given I worked on 7 of these 12 days, I had spent 80 out of 105 "free hours possible" (16 on off days and 5 on work days) demoted to just the OT! Basically for every hour I was "off work and home" and "awake", 45 minutes was spent just to Fred Wolf & Co. A true "marathon" that made me cry at the end when I saw the voice actor promo recordings from Ninja Turtles Network for a suitable farewell.
It shows the sheer length of the OT, but if you have the guts to spend a couple weeks continously, it's like finishing an extra large novel or comic book compilation; it really can enrich the experience.

Anyone else have done such marathons? For instance, anyone just watch every OT, every NT, and movie pretty much non-stop like I did?
