The whole season will probably take you around 8 hours (someone correct me if I'm wrong) Edit: Ignore this -- I have no idea why I said 8 hours! . It doesn't have any instant replay value, except for replaying the games half a year later.

Some people go back and replay each game to find all the little jokes that they missed, but once you've solved the puzzles there's not a whole lot of incentive to go back and do it again. It's still a bargain, though. I think Guybrush's estimate is a little low, but it depends on how good you are at adventure games, and whether you plow through the puzzles or take your time examining everything and talking to everyone.

I generally tell people that each episode averages to around 3 hours. Obviously it will be less if you just try to plow straight through and solve the puzzles, but I imagine that most people playing these games like to explore the dialog a bit. So its around 18 hours of gameplay, which is a pretty good deal on a straight hours to dollars ratio.

As for replay value, again it depends on how much you like to find little hidden dialog. I've probably played Season 1 more than just about anyone, and I still find little tidbits that I missed.
