STAMFORD, Conn., Sept. 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- It's a guilty
pleasure, much more gratifying than eating an entire quart of ice
cream at a sitting. Binge viewing -- the more civilized term,
marathon viewing -- is the act of watching a TV series in its
entirety, straight through with only necessary
breaks. Devouring shows in rapid succession has become an
acceptable entertainment experience.

And if you've got the time, Charter can think of no better way
to celebrate the new fall season than inviting their Digital TV
customers to immerse themselves in the hundreds of hours of
viewing the best of the best series available to them. Charter
viewers can catch up on entire seasons (if available) or just
recap a preceding season on Charter On Demand to make
sure they're up-to-speed for the new season's stellar array
of comedies, reality series and acclaimed dramas.
One series with a host of accolades including an Emmy® for
Outstanding Drama Series and a Golden Globe® for Best Television
Series is the critically-acclaimed drama HOMELAND on SHOWTIME®.
This is the show that if there were still water
coolers, people gathered around them would be talking about.
Now they IM, email, blog, and tweet about the world's most wanted
terrorist. But if you missed this powerful show and regret
it, SHOWTIME ON DEMAND from Charter makes it easy for you to recoup
that in-crowd feeling before HOMELAND returns for a third season on
SHOWTIME on Sunday, September 29 at
9 p.m. ET/PT.
Potential fans of the eight-time Emmy-winning HOMELAND who have
some time to invest should plan to plop down on the couch and if
they are in shape for a marathon, watch 24 hours of Season 1 and 2
of the series on SHOWTIME ON DEMAND from Charter. SHOWTIME is
included in the Charter TV Silver and Gold and other packages can
be subscribed to a-la-carte. For Charter customers who are not
current SHOWTIME subscribers, Episodes 101 and 102 of the first
season of Homeland are currently available for free on Charter On
Demand in the Free Previews folder through October 31 and the first episode of the new
season, (301) will be available to sample for free the day after
its September 29 premiere.
Call it binge or marathon viewing, catching up is up to
you. Charter calls it great fun.
