doesn’t mean it won’t require dedication, many many bags of chips, and some of those adult nappies to save having to get up off the couch.

Agreed, it does look pretty daunting and I swallowed hard when I saw that there were 7 (seven!) seasons of Voyager. But a US commercial hour is only 42 minutes and you can fast forward through the opening and closing credits to save even more time. I could get through an entire season of The West Wing in a wet weekend that way.

And I’ll cheat a little further by putting eps on my iPod to watch on the bus or while I’m waiting for a movie to start.

No worries.

so…. that’s maybe 540 hours of viewing between now and december? or more than 10 hours of veiwing a week?
probably less than the average TV watcher.

Now that you break it down like that, it doesn’t sound as huge… Hey, maybe he will succeed after all!

What a brilliant albeit insanely ambitious idea! Not that I think it’s not feasible but I’m pretty sure it would have to be your only hobby until December 25 for you to reach your goal. I don’t know if you’ve done a little math yet but that’s a total of 698 episodes to watch plus 10 movies… wow… O_0

And as a side note, I’m ridiculously happy that Karl Urban will be playing Bones. I’m not a fellow Kiwi like you but he’s definitely my favourite actor.
