I have reciently downloaded and watched WonderFalls, it was a fun show, too bad it was canceled. I watched all 13 eps in one sitting, this is why I can't do shows that are still on the TV, I watch things compulsivly. I generally watch the whole series back to back, for example when I bought the Millenium DVDs I spent about a week watching them all (3 seasons).
Another more extreme example (actually the most extreme example I have) was last summer, I had some free time and decided I would pick a show that I hadn't had the chance to watch and pick it up. So I decided to pick up Buffy....3 weeks later I had watched all 7 seasons of Buffy and all 5 of Angel (at 26 - 28 eps a piece). Unlike others who watch TV I can't differentiate between seasons and episodes because of my watching habits, but I do get a better sense of the stories as a whole and catch the little details refering to things that happened a "long" time ago.

ok, so i haven't seen any of the ones you saw (ok, that's not true - i used to watch millenium when it first on tv years ago - but that's the only one, sorry.), but i did catch up on a season or two of family guy and futurama that way.
