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.
