TV Marathons on 2011 Labor Day Weekend

Happy Labor Day! It's a holiday, so of course you turn to SitcomsOnline to see what marathons are on TV! Most of you are probably outdoors this last "unofficial" weekend of summer with your family & friends, but for those of you who are in need of some TV marathons...you've come to the right place as usual!

We have mentioned many of these already, but it's a good reminder if you have forgotten! First, we will cover the sitcom stunts, most we have covered already--so you have a reminder. As we first reported, How I Met Your Mother launch marathon will run all day today on FX from 12pm-12am! We also mentioned that TBS will have a The Office marathon from 4pm-8pm this afternoon/evening. MTV2 will have a Martin marathon from 3:30pm-8pm. Tonight of course is the launch of the week-long Friends marathon on Nick at Nite that we already mentioned, starts at 8pm tonight! Classic sitcom fans will want to tune into THIS tv for the movie Munster Go Home at 3:30pm and then at midnight for McHale's Navy Joins the Air Force based on two classic sitcoms (The Munsters and McHale's Navy). Other notable sitcom marathons on this day are the regular Monday night The Golden Girls marathon on WE tv from 8pm-1am and Hallmark Channel's regular Frasier marathon from 9pm-12am.

For non-sitcoms, Centric has an all-day The A-Team marathon from 11am-12am, so don't be a fool and miss this one! ABC Family has its Secret Life of the American Teenager catch-up marathon from 11am-8pm leading into the summer finale at 8pm, as we mentioned before. A&E has a Criminal Minds marathon from 8am-10pm. INSP Network has a Waltons Labor Day Marathon, as we mentioned already, starting at 1pm. Looking for game shows? GSN has a marathon of The Newlywed Game from.
Other marathons of note on Labor Day are the Buffy the Vampire marathon on Chiller from 6am-8pm, Law & Order: Criminal Intent/Law & Order: SVU marathons on Cloo from 6am-6am, SOAPnet's One Tree Hill marathon focusing on Leyton from 11am-6am, TNT's The Closer marathon from 1pm-6pm, USA Network has a NCIS marathon from 6am-9pm, Sundance Channel's My So-Called Life marathon from 11am-8pm, and GMC's Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman marathon from 10am-11pm.

Looking for movies? Antenna TV has a Jerry Lewis movies from the '60s marathon from 9am-1am. We mentioned THS tv earlier today, but they are also airing a Don Knotts double feature tonight with The Reluctant Astronaut at 5:30pm, followed by The Ghost and Mr. Chicken at 8pm. Cinemax has a Star Trek Movie Marathon from 8:15am through primetime, while Spike TV has a Star Wars Movie Marathon from 9am-1pm. It's a "Big Action Weekend" on Hallmark Movie Channel with titles like Speed from 6am-6am. LMN has a TV-movie marathon titled "Baby-in-Peril Movie Marathon" starting at 6am. Syfy has a "The Labor Day Monster-thon" starting at 9am with titles like Bloodsuckers. And for your trash TV fans, Jersey Shore is on MTV from 9am-9pm, but when isn't it on? E! has a Keeping Up with the Kardashians marathon from 3-11pm, while Bravo has a Real Housewives of Orange County marathon from 8am-9pm. I guess there is something for everyone...
