marathon |ˈmarəˌθän|
[noun] a long-distance running race, strictly one of 26 miles and 385 yards (42.195 km).
[usu. with adj. ] a long-lasting or difficult task or operation of a specified kind
[as adj. ] of great duration or distance; very long
The key words here are very long, so when they announced a Battlestar Gallactica marathon I was expecting the whole season plus the first two pilots in a row, but what I got was the first 2 pilots in a day, followed by 3 episodes each day for the next 4 days.
Personally I don't consider this a marathon, especially if each episode is about 45 minutes long each (sans ads). So when you say you're going to run a marathon show you better mean it, I sat through a whole MASH series marathon from start to finish I can sit though one season of BSG.

That's not a marathon. This is a marathon! XDDD
Aah, M*A*S*H marathon, I think we missed a few episodes because we took a few hours off for a KFC and some nap.
