About the only thing I can sit and binge watch is sitcom type stuff... with the exception of Band of Brothers. Even a show like Justified, or Deadwood... shows I loved... I don't care to see more than 1 episode at any given time. But stupid stuff like Seinfeld, Cheers, Wings, Everybody Loves Raymond... I can watch those marathon style all day. The best show to just have on for a marathon-style lazy afternoon is King of the Hill.
Years ago, 24 was a great marathon show, just based on it's style. In fact, I watched season 1 straight through on DVD's one year the day after Christmas.
