ABC Sitcom 'Help Me' Pre-Empted Tonight; i Network's Thanksgiving Marathon Episode Info

ABC will preempt new sitcom Help Me Help You tonight for election coverage. Election coverage was originally slated for 10 p.m. to 11 p.m., but ABC will expand it from 9:30 to 11 instead, immediately following the semi-finals of Dancing with the Stars. Help Me Help You will return Tuesday, November 28 because next week will be the premiere of the new game show Show Me the Money and the week after the American Music Awards are airing.
Help Me Help You stars Ted Danson and airs Tuesdays at 9:30 p.m. on ABC and averages over 10 million viewers a week making it the number one new half-hour sitcom, despite losing over half of its lead-ins viewers.

We told you a few weeks back that the i Network will have four days worth of marathons during Thanksgiving weekend (Nov 23-26), which includes a two-day launch marathon for Growing Pains, but now we have episode details! Click here to see which episodes are airing of Mama's Family, Charlie's Angels and Growing Pains that weekend. I know I will be tuned in to the i network that weekend!
