2016 Thanksgiving TV Marathons on TV This Holiday Weekend

Happy Thanksgiving to you all! We thank you for visiting us on this special day and every other day, all-year. We also are very thankful that you all will continue to visit every single day and making this blog a continued huge success. We get thousands of visitors every day (even on weekends). So, we thank you for the growth each year! It is simply amazing and I can't believe it has been over 11 years now of posting on this blog every single day no matter what! No days off!

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!

MTV2 has a sitcom fest today with Bernie Mac from 9am-11am, then a marathon of The Wayans Bros. from 11am-12am leading into Martin and The Jamie Foxx Show in late night from 12-4am. 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.

Non-sitcom wise, Decades has a Hunter binge marathon all-today today, with The Streets of San Francisco tomorrow, and Police Story this weekend (Sat-Sun), as we noted. UP has the Gilmore Girls binge that runs through Friday, as we mentioned. INSP has a Bonanza Black Friday Marathon from 1pm-8pm, which is preceded by The Virginian from 7am-1pm.

Other notables for Thanksgiving Thursday include an Star Trek marathon on BBC America today from 6am-6am, a Back to the Future movie marathon on TNT from 10am-8pm, The Rocky Horror Picture Show will get a marathon play on IFC for nearly 24-hours beginning at 6am today, a John Wayne western movie marathon on AMC from 10am-11pm, a Z Nation marathon on Syfy from 6am-8pm, Bravo has a The Real Housewives of Orange County marathon from 6am-4pm, a Jurassic Park movie franchise marathon on Spike starting at 11am, a Criminal Minds Thanksgiving marathon on A&E starting at 8am and a Forrest Gump movie marathon on E! starting at 7:30am today and The Royals marathon on Friday from 8am-6pm. We also have many many movies marathons on networks like VH1, Freeform, Hallmark Channel, Hallmark Movie Channel, Lifetime, Universal HD, and more.

On the networks tonight, there is an original special tonight: The Wonderful World of Disney: Magical Holiday Celebration on ABC from 8-10pm. CBS will have new episodes of its sitcoms from 8:30pm-10pm tonight.
