Do you guys really marathon comedies like "Community". Don't get me wrong, I love the show, it's one of the greatest comedies on TV, but after 2-3 episodes, it's ok. I need a pause from Abed and his awesomeness :P
Just finished my personal August marathon. Started The Wire at the start of the month and just finished it, 2-4 episodes each day. I have enjoyed it a lot, thanks to everyone who said how good it was.
I personally enjoy comedy shows (particularly all the British gold that has been made) more than drama and can recommend following shows (in random order):
- The Office (UK)
- 'Allo 'Allo
- How I Met Your Mother
- Community
- Blackadder
- Two And a Half Men
- Family Guy
- Fawlty Towers
- Are You Being Served?
- The Inbetweeners
Some of these are obv better known and more suitable for a marathon than others. Only show I ever really marathoned was Dexter (and I'm glad I did, awesome show).
Some shows that I legitimately HAVE marathoned in the very recent past (all of these shows were ones that I never watched a single episode of before, but have now watched the entire series of to date!):
I've tried to watch the Wire maybe 3 times and each time never got further than the 3rd episode or so.
I might give it another go and just watch the first 10 episodes in a row to get into it. I know the feeling of being envious of people who haven't seen a TV show yet.
Breaking bad, mad men are two of my favourites - Prison break is also a classic if you haven't seen it (and lost), but I guess everyone has by now.
It's always sunny is my favourite comedy - but it doesn't necessarily lend itself to a marathon, in the regard that it's not really a continuous story but rather each episode stands alone. Modern family is also great too

This happened to me the first time I watched it got bored in about the second episode. Have now watched it all 3-4 times through and can confirm it is the clear best thing to ever hit tv
The greatest show ever to come out of Australia is called Frontline which is based on a current affairs show - I don't know how many people would get it since Australian current affairs are pretty unique. It has about 30 episodes of quality and definitely good for a marathon. Was made by the same people who did the Castle
Underbelly series 1 was also pretty good. It was based on the gang war in Melbourne about 10-15 years ago and they did a pretty good job portraying the carnage. Series 2+ have been nothing short of horrible though
The "new series" of Doctor Who is really good. Especially the first two seasons - after that it goes a bit up and down, though most of it is still well worth watching. The two first seasons are really awesome though.
