PC Marathon- the Actors Favorites Soapnet aired the a selection
of 24 episodes that the actors selected as their favorite episodes of PC.
Throughout the marathon they included commentary by various actors like Lynn,
Jon, Jay, Erin, Brian P., Kiko, and Kelly. I have a recordable DVD
player with a hard drive so I was able to eliminate commericals from the first 8
hours - though I did leave in all the promos - there is a great one for Michael
Easton going to OLTL. The first tape is a 6 hour tape and covers the first 16
episodes including the commentaries and promos but no commercials (so actually
the first 8 hours of the marathon minus commericals).....then the second tape
has the last four hours of the marathon - this tape does have commericals so
this is 8 episodes. Iniitially I was hoping to be able to get this all to
fit on one 8 hr tape without commercials like I did for the Brenda marathon but
when it became apparent it wouldn't all fit on one tape with all the commentary
I decided not to delete commercials from the second tape. 2.)
