Turner Networks on 4th of July; Remembering Robert Donner

Continuing our look at the 4th of July marathons, today we will give you info on the Turner networks! TBS will be doing a mini-movie marathon from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. TNT brings you a fireworks display of Law & Order all day long this July 4th from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Celebrate the holiday with your favorite episodes of this critically-acclaimed crime drama. While Boomerang will show classic episodes of Tom & Jerry all-day...which means 6am to 6am! Episodes in the marathon range from 1942 to 1956. We will continue to give you information on all the networks that do marathons on America's birthday. So come on back!

Also of note, Nick@Nite will end their 12-4am marathons on July 16, as I expected. On July 17, their annual summer block will begin. TV Land's 12-4am block will continue until atleast the end of August.

Robert Donner, who made more than 100 TV and film appearances over a 40-year career, died of a heart attack on June 8 in Sherman Oaks, Calif. He had recurring roles as Exidor on the Robin Williams ABC sitcom Mork and Mindy and Yancy Tucker on the CBS drama The Waltons. He appeared on dozens of series as a guest, including Bonanza, Columbo, Big Valley, Incredible Hulk, The Six Million Dollar Man, Murder, She Wrote, Fame, MacGyver, Married...with Children, Hearts Afire, Dharma & Greg and Matlock. His most recent appearance was on the canceled CBS sitcom Center of the Universe starring John Goodman. The episode never made it on the air, but you can watch that on In2TV online. That would be a good way to pay tribute to him. He was in the episode "The Break-In."
He is survived by his wife Jill and two brothers. Mr. Donner was 75.
