It was probably posted but I must have forgotten. I still think it's silly for a Cable Network to have a Weekend Thon of a show TWICE in a 5 month period.

I forgot too. I was thinking I would have to watch Top 10 or something. I don't think I am going to watch much of the marathon. I have seen them to many times in a short period of time.

It's not stupid if the show is one of the networks highest rated shows. Money always make sense to a business.

It still doesn't make sense because the show has been on every night since July and now another WEEKENDTHON when you just had one in July? Maybe it should be another weekendthon in January since the show is doing well on TV LAND

It's doesn't make sense to you because you don't benefit from it, Your just a viewer. It's makes a lot of sense to me.

Solomon, you need to stop getting smart and sarcastic with everyone. Me personally, I am not watching this marathon, I have the DVDs and it's showing on TVland every night. But respect other people's opinion's and taste if they are watching and enjoying it. Yeah, it's been overplayed to you and me. But if somebody else is enjoying it, you shouldn't get on this board and challenge their taste. You do want this board to be active, don't you?

Maybe TV LAND should have a Good Times marathon every 4 months since it's doing so well in the ratings-LOL

I actually enjoyed the marathon! It allowed me to catch up on a lot of episodes I hadn't seen before. For instance, I saw the second part of the episode where JJ gets shot, but not the first. I finally got to see the first part...and man was it dramatic!

Oh, and I finally got to see the episode where James dies...that was acted out very well if you ask me! So many emotions in that episode!

Exactly. I didn't even watched, just like I didn't watch the other one a couple of months ago. I was surprised myself.

I watched Evans Get Involved and Matter of Mothers last night. I love Willona in those episodes so since they were on I had to sit there and watch.

I for one am soooo glad they had it...man, I was so sick and spending all day Saturday in bed sure made me feel so good knowing something good was on and therefore, allow me to watch these episodes again so I can see more things I missed and ask questions here!!!!!

Well its very simple. True they just had a GT marathon a few months ago so for those who havent seen all The GT episodes then it was good for them and for those who just cant get enough of GT then it was good for them too and for those who are sick of seeing GT back to back like that during the marathon DONT HAVE TO WATCH IT...Turn your channel. SIMPLE!!!
