New Year's Eve Brings Marathons
Wow! What a year it has been. 2005 went by so fast and it felt like 2005 just started. A lot has happened this year sitcom wise. Good and bad. So on this last day of the year we hope everyone will take a look what has happened in 2005 and think of what you think will happen in 2006.
New Year's Eve brings marathons. Sure we have our old friend Dick Clark ringing in the new year on ABC and now Regis this year on Fox, but there are marathons of classic series, too! WPIX in New York will ring in the new year with the classic sitcom The Honeymooners. Tune in right after the WB11 News, which will air at a special time of 11 p.m. The Honeymooners start right after that, at approx. 11:30 p.m. and runs through 5 p.m. on New Year's Day. What a way to end 2005 and start 2006!
Other marathons that we know of are The Three Stooges Marathon on WCIU in Chicago. Tune in from 11 p.m. to 3 a.m. on New Year's Eve for those hilarious Three Stooges. No, Philadelphia we have not forgotten about you! WPSG (UPN57) will air their own Three Stooges marathon on New Year's Day from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Start off 2006 with a good laugh, with the crazy antics of the Three Stooges! Join Ashley, Justin and Sean from the U-Crew as they roll out six straight hours of Larry, Moe & Curly!
And it would not be New Year's Eve without The Twilight Zone. Sci-Fi Channel will present two all-day events for this classic series. Starting 9 a.m. on Dec 31. running all the way to 6 a.m. on January 2.
