2016 Thanksgiving TV Marathons on TV This Holiday Weekend
Before we let you all go back to your families (or special friends), we want to let you know the marathons on TV you and your family might want to watch during the day and after Thanksgiving dinner. We love TV marathons and you all come here on each holiday to see what marathons are airing, so as always we will do that today, too, of course!
We have told you about some of the sitcom related marathons already in our regular news stories. Our pick of the weekend is the All in the Family 18-hour marathon today (Thanksgiving Day) that begins at 5am ET on Antenna TV! TV Land has a Laugh More-a-thon Weekend with The Andy Griffith Show airing today on Thanksgiving Day from 9am-8pm. Other TV Land marathons include The Golden Girls on Friday from 9am-5pm and Roseanne on Saturday. TBS will once again present a Friends marathon today, Thanksgiving Day, from 11am-4pm with all of the series' Thanksgiving episodes, followed by a marathon of The Big Bang Theory from 4-8pm, leading into original series Search Party from 8pm-12am. WE tv will have a marathon of Will & Grace airing from 10am-8pm today. And New York City is lucky to have a marathon of The Honeymooners for the fifth straight year on Thanksgiving, today on WPIX from 11am-3pm, sandwiched in between two airings of the movie March of the Wooden Soldiers at 9am and 3pm!

Esquire has a marathon of Parks & Recreation that begins at 7am. And Logo has a bunch of sitcoms airing as usual in blocks today, such as Green Acres and Three's Company.
