Season 3 = green (12 episodes)

Season 4 = N/A

Season 5 = orange (11 episodes)

Length of marathon:  22 hours

Total episodes: 44

The marathon lasts 22 hours, and is comprised of 44 half-hour episodes. Season 4 is nowhere to be found (which doesn’t particularly bother me, since I very recently completed the arduous task of reviewing the entire season with supersized blog entries to match the double-length format).  The other four seasons could’ve been equally represented with 11 episodes from each, which is NOT the case (the first season, which is by far the best, is only granted 9 episodes).  But you know what?  I don’t give a damn either way, since I won’t be watching it.  I can’t abide the syndication cuts, the crappy image quality, and the intrusive commercials.  Your mileage may vary, of course.
