it's on a TUESDAY:confused: :confused:

It airs tomorrow at 3pm tomorrow until 3am but why on a Tuesday Night when people have to go to work and school? Why is it about this channel that they can't air things like this on a saturday or sunday??

It wouldn't make sense to air it a week later on a Saturday would it?

Why not? They can say "This Saturday this will be a marathon" celebrating the life of Jean Stapleton.

Or Even Friday Night.

I really hope they dont show it. Even though Jean was great in the episode, I want to more or less honor the comedic side of her because I think thats what made her an icon. All the comedic stuff and how she played off of Archie.

Yes that is a good point. AITF is known for serious episodes and i hope it's some of the less serious episodes

I hope they show a lot of her comedic ones too but I'd still like to see it. I've only seen it 2 times and once was when it originally aired.

I have to agree with You! I don't understand why the Marathon is in the middle of the week either. Saturday would much better. People's are working in the weekdays.

I've been watching the episodes and they've all been pretty good. Such a great actress and such a classic show.

They're going to show the Edith is attacked episode at 1 AM. I don't know if I can stay up that late. I'm not as young as I used to be. lol

I wanted to see this episode when Archie found out Edith will be working at the Jeffersons store


Archie: "What are the neighbors going to say when they see you working in a colored store? What are they going to SAY!!!

Edith: "I guess they will just say HI EDITH"



LMAO LOL:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I watched it some last night and I enjoyed it. I'm just glad they didn't show it on a Sunday or Monday where it would get in the way of Diff'rent Strokes.

One scene that stood out from the marathon last night involved Archie and was so funny. Older Guy was talking to Archie about Marriage

Older Guy: "After 25 years of marriage, it's like having a box of cracker jacks with no surprise inside"

Archie: "What's wrong with just the cracker jacks?
