I just did around 3 episodes a day for 3 days and that killed it for me.

I do plan on finishing but it will be a while.

How many seasons did you try to do at once?

I say BAD! BAD! BAD!

I think I get it now....

I tried that with Dexter on Netflix and got totally burnt out on it.

Sorry, I was thinking house.

Fins... are you thinking House? Jcx is talking about Bones... the show with the less hot Deschanel sister.

I kind of did the same thing. But after a doing a couple seasons I got burnt out on it. I could predict every episode. Oh, this week someone is going to get sick with something no one can figure out. He is going to piss people off and do something unorthodox and save the patient just in time. Usually around the 47 minute mark.

Oh yeah, and the patient is going to lie to the doctor.

I never watched "Bones" until I watched a rerun of it, now I've watched the whole show.

As for binging, if the whole season is available online I'll usually do the whole thing in a day or two. If I'm catching up on a show that is still on TV, it's not so bad. But what sucks is the Netflix shows. House of Cards season two finally same out yesterday. Being I watched the first season almost immediately after it came out, I've been waiting nearly a year for season two. That sucks.

I was raised on soap operas. My suspension of disbelief skills are off the charts.

So it will be 12?

Either way, dumbest show in the history of TV. If you knew anything about Los Angeles traffic, you would see one of the biggest problems in the story. Or the season where Jack sweated out a heroin addiction in 6 hours.

No, the greatest television show ever is returning for a 12-episode run in May.

Oh please God, tell me you are kidding about 24 coming back. That was the dumbest show to ever make TV. Especially the last three seasons

I say it depends. If it's a show currently airing and you're doing back seasons, then I say binge. Like, I zipped through the first season of Chicago Fire so I could quickly catch up for season 2. But, if it's a show that's completed its run, I would try to stretch it out because when it's done it's done. I was like that with Friday Night Lights. It was so good I devoured the whole series in a week. Then, I was sad when I heard my last, "Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can't Lose."

Similarly, I binged 24 on a friend's advice a couple of summers ago. When that was done, I had a Jack Bauer-shaped hole in my TV life no other program could fill. But, that's coming back in May.
