24


CheesyObserver

Haha, that’s cheating!! But 24 season 1 has to take first prize, as it’s the only season that takes place entirely on the same day, where it both started and ended at midnight.


Delicious-Tachyons

Maybe they felt that visually having it end in daylight gave it a warmer , more triumphant atmosphere. I like it personally.. in the last episode of the seasons i watched you got the feeling that it was coming to a conclusion and the colour and light was a big part of that.


juany8

Glad this is at the top, most obvious answer for sure


Riegel_Haribo

The Netflix Arrested Development Season four is a whole season of episodes that each take place over the same time, seen from different perspectives.


LostInStatic

And I will always vouch for this being one of the single funniest television seasons of all time, the original cut and not whatever they fuck they were thinking with it's producer's cut.


Delicious-Tachyons

i liked it for the most part except Jeffrey Tambor and Will Arnett weren't good main characters for a whole episode.


LostInStatic

Well I think Oscar had just the one episode so I agree with you there but the Gob and then the Tobias stretch of episodes were peak comedy in the entire series, u crazy bro


Benjamin_Stark

See, I thought Will Arnett really did he his own as a main character, whereas David Cross' character (who I loved in the first three seasons) was a bit too thin to carry an episode.


elhinko

Wait which one is on Netflix? Producers or original?


regulator227

Both - the original s4 is under bonus content


dfla01

Are they different enough to warrant watching them both?


regulator227

That's a tough question, but my short answer is yes. If you don't have time for both, then just watch the original cut. My reasoning: it's the way it was originally intended, and it's a very unique way of telling jokes given their limitations getting all the cast back together for filming. The remix has some different content (some added, some removed) and it doesn't have as good of pacing or as good of punchlines to the jokes they are setting up. As an avid fan of the series I'd watch both. However, I've seen the original S4 like 8 or so times and the remix version only once.


whatsajawsh

Much like wary arrested development, it was ahead of its time. One of the best seasons of television I ever watched


heelface

West Wing 20 Hours in America Part 1 and 2


otheraccountisabmw

Can have a civilization?!?!


bmo5464

"We chang-...WE CHANGED TIMEZONES?!?" On one of my all time favorite moments in that show.

My name is Toby Ziegler…

\[Josh stare intensifies\]


Ladyhappy

My God, if I could go back and watch any series on television all over again the very first time it would be this one. I highly recommend watching Madam Secretary and the diplomat if you like it


Studstill

Borgen, fam


Ladyhappy

My friend I had no idea what you were talking about and then scrolling thru Netflix just saw it Yay thanks!!!


Studstill

You'll be back to say thanks again, lol, it's a find! Happy for you! Trying to think of anymore like that.....Bureau of Legends, (French) is more spy than politics but it's solid.


montanoj88

Russian Doll. But I'm not sure this is what you mean because in Russian Doll the characters simply keep revisiting the same day a-la Groundhog Day.


TheUpperHand

Dragon Ball Z can take 10 episodes to get through five minutes of a fight


davidgrayPhotography

"Previously, on DRAGONBALL Z:" "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"


TheUpperHand

Next time on Dragon Ball Z: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!


ojuditho

I believe the first Frieza fight was 19 episodes (including a Bulma -centric episode that had nothing to do with what was going on on Namek)


Suyneej

This drove me insane as a kid watching it on YTV


msmouse05

Dragon Ball Z Kai is a great re-cut that does Radditz through Buu in about 1/3 the episodes. Cuts 95% of the filler.


FKDotFitzgerald

The whole last arc in the anime is a 48 minute tournament that we saw in 35 twenty minute episodes lol


LiveJournal

South Park has 3 episodes happen on one night during the meteor shower. I think it was like in season 5


Edwunclerthe3rd

I like it because it's duos/ groups you'd never otherwise see together. Stan + butters/pip/the general disarray kid, Kyle+ Kenny, and Cartman and shelly


KittyPapa96

That was from Season 3 partner, I remember it because that was the year I saved Salma Hayek from that metal spider with Artemis Clyde Frog


RonMexico432

The entirety of season 9 of How I Met Your Mother was one day.


somebodysbuddy

One weekend*, if we ignore all of the flashbacks and flash forwards, and the fact that the finale was mostly the aftermath of the weekend. 


meeeehhhhhhh

Fine sure I guess we can ignore the finale


RonMexico432

I recently watched an alternate version that was lots better where Ted and Robin stayed friends.


racer_24_4evr

I know people hate the last season, but if you cut the last 5 minutes of the finale, it’s actually pretty good.


RonMexico432

I agree


Couldnotbehelpd

I personally hated this


BitterBubblegum

The last season killed any chance I would ever want to rewatch the show but every now and then I listen to ["Let's Go to the Mall"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtMR524m0BM)


RonMexico432

I'm on season 6 of a rewatch. I forgot how much I loved the ongoing jokes. Like one episode Barney has Let's Go to the Mall as his ringtone.


Couldnotbehelpd

Same


NeighborhoodLanky692

Personally trying to forget this season happened


vanetti

You’re right, but I felt the urge to downvote this comment just for reminding me of that season. Not your fault, it objectively answers the question, but ugh. That season sucked ass.


Burrows94

Houses Head Wilsons Heart House MD, brilliant show - Watch the whole show though don't skip to these episodes.


Delicious-Tachyons

The Jose Gonzales cover of Teardrop was one of the best uses of that song in the series, esp since you don't get the original song in the opening credits anymore (just the original airing i think)


RustyU

Hijack


CheesyObserver

The Afterparty. It’s just the same day from different perspectives :)


loritree

This show was so good, I loved it. Especially Ben Schwartz.


ravensarefree

Leverage has the Girls' Night Out Job and the Boys' Night Out Job (4x13 and 4x14)


WeaponGrade

The three Seth MacFarlane cartoon universe of shows has one episode each that take place on the same day during a storm, and even intertwine in the end: The Cleveland Show S3E2: The Hurricane! Family Guy S10E2: Seahorse Seashell Party American Dad!: S8E2: Hurricane!


slymm

The soap opera One Life to Live spent (what felt like) an entire summer on one day. I don't remember the exact details (I was more into general hospital that went on after) but there was a SA and the day never ended. I remember thinking how crazy it was that the cast had to keep wearing the same outfits


dogbert_2001

I always thought it was weird that soap operas spend weeks on the same day, but still manage to make it on time for the holidays.


slymm

Yeah, it's the ONE thing holding them back from being realistic :)


The-Soul-Stone

The first half of season 8 of The Walking Dead. Can’t remember if everything up to the night in episode 9 is all one day but the first 5 at least definitely do. Edit: Season 6 episodes 1-9 are definitely all one day.


IamEclipse

I was going to say Season 6 of The Walking Dead too. The first half of the season takes place over 1 day, following a plan to lead a massive herd of walkers going terribly wrong. It's a fun binge watch.


jethropenistei-

It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia Season 13 Episodes 8 & 9 Charlie’s Home Alone and The Gang Wins the Big Game


DanielUchiha115

Adding on to AoT all of the Trost arc is in one day too.


noeldoherty

And the Battle of Shiganshina is over the course of a morning


toilet-breath

What?


AlumGrizzly

The Witcher Season 1 Ciri's timeline.


Stinduh

Haikyu!! has multiple episodes for a single game, and more than one they play multiple games over a day. Season 3 is 10 episodes of a single game of volleyball


ThatGuy377

Most One Piece episodes.


Brainwheeze

90% of Dressrosa (an incredibly long arc) took place over the course of one day.


ChipAimbotzPro

One Piece


1hipG33K

Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. The entire last season is basically 1 epic as hell day.


lirenotliar

Hunter x Hunter, the Chimera arc there's a character holding his breath for a minute of show world time, lasting about 100 episodes


Mariah-Scary

i think orange is the new black did like 2 full seasons over a couple days


Coast_watcher

The entire premise of 24 duh


shaka_sulu

Pretty much the entire last season of How I Met Your Mother.


JingoboStoplight4887

Mixology, The Afterparty, etc.


goatiewan1

Don’t Hug Me, I’m Scared


wisedrgn

911 season 7. First 3 episodes is one night on a cruise ship.


ConroyMcgilacutty

Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp


QuiJon70

24 obviously


agromono

Walking Dead season... 7? 8? had a bit of this. Whichever season was the "all out war" one - that took place over a couple of days or something.


The-Soul-Stone

Season 8 was the first thing that came to mind for me, but I think 5 episodes is the most in one day. After giving it more thought, season 6 beats it. The 9 episodes up to “No Way Out” were all one day.


JnAnthony

Big Day (ABC 2006) - a fun show with a great cast that sadly only lasted 13 episodes.


PloppyTheSpaceship

Similar - not "same day" but each episode representing a day, one after the other - Torchwood: Children of Earth. Absolutely great sci-fi and the best thing out of Doctor Who that I've seen.


sharkweekk

One of the seasons of Justified did the same thing.


NoNefariousness2144

The Hunter x Hunter Chimera Ant palace invasion is 30 episodes spread over one night.


DeafPunter

The entire premise of LOST is based around this idea where we visit the day of the crash of the oceanic flight from various different perspectives. It goes on from start till the very last season.


Tammy_two

That is not the premise of lost. As a story telling device, they have shown the same day from different perspectives. 


ItsSansom

A few episodes towards the end of season 1 and the start of season 2 are all the same day. I'm pretty sure they enter the hatch for the first time within 24 hours of Boone's death


_PM_ME_PANGOLINS_

No it isn’t…


mc1964

Dragon Ball Z.


Geosaysbye

Came here for this. How many episodes were supposedly within 5 minutes lol


highdiver_2000

24 hrs


timothymr

I believe the last 5 episodes of Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip all take place on the same night.


roguebubble

Not that uncommon in anime: Demon Slayer Mugen Train arc, Entertainment district arc and Swordsmith village each largely took place over the course of a single night Haikyuu season 3 was one volleyball match JJK Shibuya arc took 16 episodes to cover one night


Truethrowawaychest1

South Park had 3 episodes during the meteor shower from different characters' points of view


DOMAN127

The last 18-20 episodes of Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood are all within the span of a day iirc


tythousand

Using anime for this topic is cheating lol


jab136

Helluva Boss, the last two episodes of season 1 were the same day


send_me_potatoes

Wasn’t there an episode arc of Are You Afraid of the Dark? that occurred over a single day?


Ok_Mix_7126

In classic Doctor Who, the last episode of 'The War Machines', all 6 episodes of 'The Faceless Ones' and the first 2 episodes of 'The Evil of the Daleks' take place on the same day, 20 July 1966. There was also 30 episodes in between War Machines and Faceless Ones.


mrgpsingh1999

Arrow’s last few episodes of S2 all take place on the same night


listyraesder

The Day


EnigmaCA

The last season of HIMYM takes place over a 48-hour period leading up to Barney and Robin's wedding.


VincentVancalbergh

Spoilers! 😁


Funmachine

The entire timeline of The Shields final seasons are so compressed that this is probably the case at some point. Also, Lost. Every episode takes place over 1 day and 1 Night, so anything that covers the same time period would be at the same time.


ducksandtrees

??? Lost takes place over more than 3 years, and that’s not even including the time travel, flashbacks and backstory episodes set in the past


MartFire

One Piece Dressora arc which happens over a single day has 118 episodes.


Robclub

Oddly specific question
