You may be a big fan of "The Simpsons," but you are not the biggest unless your name is Jeremiah Franco or Carin Shreve.
The two Californians set a Guinness World record for continuous television viewing by watching consecutive episodes of "The Simpsons" for 86 hours and 37 minutes.
Their feat was part of "The Simpsons Ultimate Fan Marathon," which attracted some 100 participants plus show creator Matt Groening and several cast members to Los Angeles last weekend

I like The Simpsons but I don't know if I could have watched 86 hours of them, not even for $10,500.00...but then again.

    86 hours... thats about 250 episodes...since they have 500 now, at least there wouldnt be any reruns... wonder if they got to skip forward on ones they didnt want to watch again??

      I doubt it. But I guess the money and prizes kept them going.

      My hat's off to them.
