ABC Family, TV Land Change Their Minds; TV One Thanksgiving Weekend

Apparently ABC Family has changed their minds about today's schedule change. Step by Step has been re-inserted to the weekday line-up and will continue to air weekdays at 2 and 2:30 p.m. Last week they announced Boy Meets World was coming to the slot. Boy will still air weekday mornings at 8 & 8:30 a.m. We will keep you up to date of any other news and changes.
Meanwhile, TV Land has announced it has moved the Ghostbusters 2 encore from 12:30am Friday to 12 noon Saturday. Ghostbusters 2 will still premiere 10 p.m. on Friday and will be followed by I Pity the Fool and 5 Benson episodes.

Warm up the sweet potato pie ready and get ready to laugh this Thanksgiving weekend as TV One presents four days of comedy centered around family and fun. TV One will feature four marathons this weekend part of their "Let's Talk Turkey" marathon weekend.
On Thanksgiving Day, TV One kicks off the family holiday weekend with visits from the outrageous family members of TV One's most hilarious sitcom characters from 10am-8pm and again from 11pm-6am. The marathon features special Thanksgiving episodes of Good Times, Martin and In the House commemorating this special time of year when visiting family, whom we all love dearly, can sometimes try your patience.
The world television premiere of "Preaching to the Choir" starring Lost's Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Darien Sills-Evans, Tichina Arnold, Eartha Kitt, and Patti LaBelle follows this marathon.

On Friday, Nov. 24 from 10am-6pm, viewers can catch up with all the comedians they've missed with a back to back recap of all Bill Bellamy's Who's Got Jokes? episodes that have previously aired.
