Memorial Day 2016 TV Marathons

Happy Memorial Day! As usual, we have the holiday marathons on a holiday for you! As we pay tribute to our troops every year on this day, let's have some fun as well watching TV marathons on the tube on this day off! If you're not going outside in the heat, then there are plenty of TV options for you on this day! Are you headed to the shore or would you rather watch some good TV marathons like Baywatch? Swim into summer! So bring out your lawn chair, throw some burgers on the BBQ, and watch some television!

Among the marathons today are the marathons we have previously mentioned, such as the Baywatch marathon on COZI TV starting at 8am. Sitcoms getting the marathon treatment on this day include Gidget marathon on Antenna TV today from 7am-11pm. FXX has a marathon of The Simpsons from 6pm-12am.
