WEEKLY PLANNER (JUNE 29 - JULY 5)

There is a Batman marathon on Catchy Comedy this weekend.
Twilight Zone marathons for holidays are become more hit or miss for Syfy, but they do have an all day one on Independence Day, while Heroes and Icons has one that runs Thursday through Sunday.
If you're not already watching it (because somehow it was omitted in here last week, but we think most people who were awaiting it knew anyway), MeTV Toons launched on Tuesday.
