A guy from the UK claims that he has been watching EVERY Friends episodes nonstop and now wants to be taken into the Guinness Book of Records for it, just one problem: He has no proof  Here's a challenge for you: Watch every Charmed episode nonstop and get taken into the GBOR for watching every Charmed episode nonstop. Friends total approx playtime: 4800 minutes Charmed total approx playtime: 7624 minutes Are you up for the challenge ? ;D |

I can sort of do thaat. I watch a ton of Charmed episodes in one day, but nonstop. That would be really hard.

Considering that's just over 127 hours are you allowed bathroom breaks? Sleep? That's more than five straight days. And how on earth do you prove you watched 7624 minutes straight of a TV show? I mean I've watched maybe ten or twelve straight hours of TV (excluding bathroom breaks and running to the kitchen to grab food or something to drink), but five days? I mean if I had the time in a row I'd maybe give it a try, but I'm not sure how that is doable.

You just announce it to Guinness that you want to attempt this record, they will then monitor your progress. I do believe that bathroom breaks and eating is OK, but sleep is not. The longest try i have had with out sleep was 3 days, but after that i was pretty sleepy ;D |

Did you at that point think you just might be charmed, and start trying to vanquish the spiders that surrounded you, who were singing "How Soon is Now?"

At night, I always watched an episode of Charmed. Most times I get half way through it and I am asleep. As much as I love the episodes, I don't think I can stay awake that long.

It was back when i went to school in the late 80s. Back in those days we had video marathons and watched one movie after another every week-end. Now i am lucky if i can survive 48hrs ;D |

I don't think I want to do that challenge. I usually get all zonked out after a day without sleep. (I work nights.). But anyone who is willing to try, maybe should practice first and with DVDs so that you don't have to deal with commercials. Like use all nighters, energy drinks, and vitamins.
Oh, and if you start seeing demons outside of your window, you better give up before you lose your mind.

Um, Nicholas, think about this before you do it. 7624 minutes divided by 60 equals 317.66 hours. 317.66 hours divided by 24 equals FIVE AND A HALF DAYS!
To put that in perspective, 4800 hours divided by 60 equals 80 hours. 80 hours divided by 24 equals THREE AND A THIRD days!
Now that I could do, but FIVE AND A HALF?? Like GW said, you'd probably go nuts long before you get that far.
Hey, I know! Convince Guiness that the last four seasons of Charmed are actually Charmed's spinoff, "The Perils of Poor, Poor, Pititful Piper." Then you only have to watch four seasons (and four quality ones) which should take about 2-3 days. Now that I think I could do.
Although for sure, give it a trial run first. I know I once did a week on 12 hours sleep total and it took me months before I felt like myself again. Doing it for five and a half days on none? What if you fell asleep during the last day and it was all for nothing? Would it be worth it?

Haha Es. I thought about it and it would be rather difficult to stay up for five and a half days. Even though I have a giant love for Charmed, I wouldn't be able to watch it for five days -____- Coffee, HUGE pots of coffee (not decaf), that should get you over the top ;D |
