Some of them can be fun. TvLand has all-weekend marathons when they add a show to their roster. I don't mind a whole weekend of The Dick Van Dyke Show, but some of them I can live without. Green Acres, for example.

I got sucked into watching several hours of Gomer Pyle, USMC awhile back.

And for some reason I can sit and watch a whole Real World marathon on MTV whereas I can't stand watching it weekly.
Of course, you can't go wrong with a good Star Trek marathon. Especially movie marathon.
