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

You're insane.

I had a much smaller marathon last week when I finally got volume 6. First time I got the DVDs I made it up to halfway through volume 4 and stopped. This time I went all the way through and watch the first three seasons complete. It took me about three or four days with breaks between volumes for playing Ninja Turtles video games (2&3 on NES, Hyperstone Heist, and Turtles in Time Reshelled).

I had a marathon of sorts with the newer series, but it was selective. I only watched key episodes and skipped over the rest. I've made two dvds with select season 1 episodes to serve as a 'prequel' of sorts for my Battle Nexus PS2 game. Also I watched all five movies with my father (the original LA trilogy, TMNT, and Turtles Forever). After which, I was fairly turtled out for a time.

I don't see why people skip over episodes if you're doing a complete rewatch. If I just want to watch one random episode just out of nostalgia, I'll do it.

But if I am going to sit through and watch the series in order, I am not going to skip any episodes.

I just did a marathon of all the "fly" episodes (after watching all 5 "Fly" movies). Does that count?

I recently hosted a bondathon, all 23 bond films in 3 days with minimal sleep between nights over labor day weekend. This got me thinking about an ot marathon... I'll give it a shot, but given the quantity of eps itd have to be a lot of little min marathons ( i work ), i like the idea of 4-6 eps a night over a month. We should all give that a shot before the 2012 series.

So, the only reason you posted that here instead of in my "Latest marathon thread" in the TV/movies section is because? It was just so OT (off-topic)? Ba dum psh.

Seriously though, this thread relates to '87 Ninja/Hero Toitle-related marathons. I guess, technically, Next Mutation marathons would fit in here too. Just not Bond.

I am planning on doing an "ultimate marathon" next summer, though I'll do the 4Kids first, then the movies, and finally the OT to get ready for the Nick series. And even the "worst" episode still has some good jokes in it or some action (Red Sky). It will probably be a bit more spread out; rather than 10-20 episodes a day, I'll probably do around 5-8 so it can be a bit more anticipated and more refreshed each day. That way, I can also play some video games as part of the break. What you may not understand is that I watched around 12 episodes while riding in a car, and around 6 episodes while I was at the beach during that marathon that I just watched; it was cool at the beach as I had never watched any DVD before at the beach. With the purchase of the TMNT 2007 DVD for just $1 at a yard sale yesterday, I am now with the exception of 21 Next Mutation episodes, complete in terms of TMNT media.
