Antenna TV Presents An Alfred Hitchcock Presents Halloween Marathon; Meet the Kids of Modern Family and The Middle

As we hinted last month, Antenna TV will present an Alfred Hitchcock Presents marathon this Halloween, but that's not all! Turn out the lights and turn on the TV, with over 100 hours of spooktacular programming, Antenna TV's horrifying Halloween will have you on the edge of your seat as the Tribune Broadcasting multicast broadcast network presents frightful flicks all month long and two devilishly delightful Halloween weekend marathons. As of yesterday, Antenna TV, which airs on 50 affiliates across the U.S. reaching 54% of TV households, will feature Halloween and horror movies, including Night of the Living Dead, Boris Karloff in The Black Room and Bela Lugosi in My Son, the Vampire. The fright fest continues on Halloween weekend with a "Horror-ibles Marathon," 24-hours of creepy classics beginning at 1pm ET on Sunday, October 30, 2011. On Halloween Day, Antenna TV will air "Hitch-o-ween" a 32-episode/16-hour Alfred Hitchcock Presents Marathon beginning at 1pm ET on Halloween Day.
View the full list of Halloween programming on Antenna TV! Up next is Thanksgiving, and Three's Company will get the marathon nod (as we mentioned), but we will have more info closer to the holiday!

Sitcoms Airing Tonight

Friday, July 3

The Dick Van Dyke Show - Now in Living Color! - (CBS, 8:00PM ET/PT) (Repeat)
CBS will honor the memory of legendary actor, producer, director, writer, comedian and Emmy Award winner Carl Reiner with THE DICK VAN DYKE SHOW – NOW IN LIVING COLOR! A SPECIAL TRIBUTE TO CARL REINER, featuring two colorized back-to-back classic episodes of the beloved 1960s series, Friday, July 3 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. As series creator and co-star, Carl Reiner personally supervised the original colorization of the episodes.

The special features “Coast to Coast Big Mouth,” which ranked #8 on TV Guide’s list of the “100 Greatest TV Episodes of All-Time,” and “October Eve,” which Mr. Reiner considered to be one of the series’ funniest episodes. Both were written by Bill Persky and Sam Denoff.

In “Coast to Coast Big Mouth,” Laura Petrie blurts out a top secret on a national television quiz show, revealing that comedian Alan Brady wears a toupee. The episode, which was the show’s fifth and final season premiere, was originally broadcast on Sept. 15, 1965. “Coast to Coast Big Mouth” won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series in 1966.

In “October Eve,” a painting of Laura returns to haunt her when, despite her having posed fully clothed, the artist (played by Carl Reiner) takes the liberty of “undraping” her. The episode was first presented on April 8, 1964, during season three.
