yes, I have done that with Babylon 5, Star Trek Deep Space nine and Stargate SG-1, after a while it all becomes a blur! But oh what fun.

House, Firefly, Wonderfalls, West Wing, Stargate, Andromeda, many more I'm sure.

I've done two day marathons for 24 seasons 1 and 2. It was quite a long time to sit in front of my laptop, and I vowed to never do that to my sleep cycle again...

I have watched all of Coupling and The Office in a day though, but those seasons are like 6 eps, so that's easy. The longest that I've ever watched a season on DVD was The Wire, which was really really good, but hard to digest, so I spread that over like a year. :)

I own a bunch of full season DVD sets, but the only one I watched from start to finish was the first season of Dawson's Creek. Hey! I love teen melodrama!

I have to say some shows like Alias and Battlestar Galactica and the new Prison Break - all will watch better if you do actually marathon them because they are all so tightly linked (unlike shows like Smallville and Boston Legal, heh even Lost - where if you miss one you wont be completely lost)

I really cannot remember a show before Alias that had me by the balls to keep watching..I watched seasons 1 and 2 in 3-4 eps at a time...now I think that hurt it a bit in terms of no new viewers but I guess that is not that true seeing everyone else is following that model too now.

Also I applaud ABC for running complete seasons on their station when they have actual DVD's to sell. It's quite a striking argument against the movie industry who doesnt want to sell same-day DVD's because the theatres feel threatened.

With my wife, only Firefly and Gilmore Girls, so far. Once you pop in that first DVD, you can't stop!

I actually watched all 4 seasons of Alias and the first season of Veronica Mars this summer...Im currently working on Lost season 1...I never sat in front of the tv for a whole season tho...24 hours straight...I couldnt do that...I have watched at most probably 5-6 episodes a day. Summer is such a great time to catch up on tv...screw watching reruns or reality show that I have no interest in.

Entourage S1: clearly not exhausting (8 episodes), but worth it.

While not a whole series of a TV show, I did undertake a similarly daunting task... All three LOTR extended editions back to back.

I take my TV-on-DVD marathons a lot closer to a disc a night rather than a single day. Gotta have SOME anticipation in there!

I have done all the seasons of 24 and the LOTR extended cuts wfter ROTK came out (my dad refuses to go out to the movies...go figure) and when a new season of Simpsons hit, i usually do a marathon of the audio commentaries (which are always great!)
