Memorial Day Weekend 2008: TV Show Marathons
By fred | May 26, 2008
Courtesy of Interesting Pile here is a list of all the marathons planned on TV to celebrate Memorial Day. It’s not always the best, but I’m sure you’ll find something to your liking, should be it watching some old Diff’rent Strokes or a batch of CSI.
Quickly, here’s the few I think might be worth tuning in, if you have nothing better waiting for you on your DVR, or in that pile of DVDs you’ve bought but never actually took the time to watch…. On FX you can dive back into the 70’s, with 22 episode of That 70’s Show. If you forget about the last seasons, that show was both great & hilarious.
And on TV One you have Day Break, the show ABC canceled way too soon because they’re morons, and can’t keep to their words. But it was actually a great show, though I seem to remember the ending to be a little disappointing to be honest. Still, it’s really worth a look it you haven’t, except that I’m not sure what’s going on actually… on Interesting Pile they announce 16 episodes, on their website TV One lists only 11 episodes to air, yet the show was actually made of 13 episodes. So, better make sure they’ll give you all 13 episodes, because that’s one heavily serialized show with one story over the 13 episodes, so if you can’t have the end, better not get yourself frustrated I’d say.
