TV Land December 2006 Highlights; New Ratings Feature

We gave you a preview of TV Land's holiday season before but now the official TV Land December line-up has been announced. There will be no changes to the regular schedule. So, that means the That Girl weekend marathon on Dec. 9-10 is just that. They are doing it for the season 2 DVD and promotion for the show coming to TVLand.com in December. The classic special Free To Be You and Me will also be airing that weekend. Friday night movies will come to an end (for now?) on December 8 with Great Balls of Fire. December 1 will see Stir Crazy. And for three Fridays in December, TV Land will showcase Yule Love Fridays from 8-10pm featuring Christmas episodes from your favorite shows! Deck the halls with TV Land this holiday season with episodes of The Jeffersons, Good Times, All in the Family, Three's Company, Little House, and Andy Griffith. And the 7th Annual Merry-thon will air twice. Both times with different episodes! It will air for 24 hours from 10pm Dec. 2 to 10pm Dec. 3 then 6pm Dec. 24 to 6pm Dec. 25. The marathon will feature classic Christmas episodes of 227, Benson, What's Happening!!, Three's Company, Highway to Heaven, Good Times, Jeffersons, and almost the entire TV Land library. Finally, TV Land will countdown the 100 greatest TV catchphrases the week of December 11 at 10pm. And if you miss that they will reair it on New Year's Even from 7pm-12am.
