Nick@Nite and TV Land Add Late Night Mini-Marathons; Nick@Nite Movie on July 7

Both TV Land and Nick@Nite made some last minute moves and both will air mini-marathons from 12am-4am starting this Monday (June 12). TV Land will air its marathons Mon-Fri, while Nick@Nite will air them every night. Nick@Nite's will probably last until their summer marathons start, TV Land's will probably last a while, I think. But for sure both will last until the end of June. TV Land will air Benson on Monday nights, Sanford & Son on Tuesday nights, Good Times on Wednesday nights, All in the Family on Thursday nights and Miami Vice on Friday nights. TV Land airs marathons on weekends, but that will stop on July 1, and the regular line-up will return then. View the changes in a list format here.
As for Nick@Nite, they will have Roseanne on Monday nights, The Cosby Show on Tuesday nights, Fresh Prince on Wednesday nights, another Roseanne block on Thursday nights, Full House on Friday nights, another Cosby Show block on Saturday nights, and another Fresh Prince block on Sunday nights. View the changes in a list format here.

Benson did very well for TV Land this past weekend. I'm glad because it is an underrated show, well written and not overplayed. And I'm glad it will get Monday marathons now, too, since it only airs once a night. Nick@Nite is already airing the movie Kangaroo Jack this month, now they have announced they will air another movie. This time in July. On July 7 from 10p-12a they will air What a Girl Wants starring Amanda Bynes. You all should tune in to TV Land instead, as they will start their Friday night summer movie block that night.
