--- --- # TV Binge-Watching Hero Sets World Record at 94 Hours by [Melissa Locker](https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/) ## Melissa Locker Apr 13, 2016 4:32 PM UTC by [Melissa Locker](https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/) ## Melissa Locker Apr 13, 2016 4:32 PM UTC Brooklyn has a new [Guinness World Record](http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/) holder—Alejandro “AJ” Fragoso who watch television for 94 hours straight. Fragoso started his bid to become the world record holder with two other binge-watching professionals, according to [Variety](http://variety.com/2016/digital/news/tv-binge-watching-world-record-set-94-hours-1201751436/). However, only he had the perseverance to successfully watch all 94 hours, breaking the previous record set in March of this year by a group of Australians who watched 92 hours of television. Fragoso credited his “[Mediterranean diet](http://time.com/3614678/mediterranean-diet-longevity/)” and frequent stretching for his stamina in the TV marathon. Fragoso watched a variety of shows over the course of his record-setting binge watch, including [_Game of Thrones_](http://time.com/4251540/game-of-thrones-season-6-trailer-analysis-breakdown/), [_Curb Your Enthusiasm_](http://time.com/4073412/curb-your-enthusiasm-bitmojis-larry-david/), _Twilight Zone_, _Bob’s Burgers_, _Adventure Time_, and, in a decision sure to entertain any _Portlandia_ fans, [_Battlestar Galactica_](https://youtu.be/yYjLrJRuMnY). Fragoso’s attempt to set the world record was sponsored by CyberLink, in promotion for its PowerDVD 16 player. Because they couldn’t risk Fragoso injuring himself in his bid (don’t try this at home, kids!), according to Variety, they had a physician on-site to monitor the binge-watchers for any deleterious effects of prolonged TV watching and sleep deprivation. A judge for Guinness was also on hand to verify the record. The TV marathon started on Friday, April 8, passing the 94-hour mark on Tuesday just after 5 a.m. Man Sets World Record For TV Binge Watching ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4292293/world-record-binge-watch/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4292293/world-record-binge-watch/"},"headline":"TV Binge-Watching Hero Sets World Record at 94 Hours","datePublished":"2016-04-13T16:32:27.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:31:35.372Z","description":"Yes, he watched Battlestar Galactica","url":"https://time.com/4292293/world-record-binge-watch/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","binge-watching"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4292293/world-record-binge-watch/","name":"TV Binge-Watching Hero Sets World Record at 94 Hours"}}]}] ```
