I'd rather have Gimme a break!! :D:wave:

Excellent! Growing Pains is a lot better series marathon choice than last year's All in the Family, although it wouldn't have mattered that year as I was between affiliates.

I don’t have Antenna TV.

I wish MeTV would do a Carol Burnett marathon.

Won’t be watching. That horrid credit crunch is unacceptable.

Gimme a break, the characters just seemed more real to me!!;) Growing pains and Family Ties, the families just seemed too perfect and it was boring IMO ! ;)

In the middle of watching it. Always enjoyed the show. Piggybacking on some previous posts: While I’m not thrilled with the credit crunches, they’re not a dealbreaker for me. Although it’s a pain, I can always google the info if I want it that badly.

I'd hardly call the families in Growing Pains and Family Ties too perfect or boring. Family Ties is one of my favorite 80s sitcoms, it's a classic.

I enjoyed the marathon, saw 35 1/2 episodes.

I wonder what the mentality is of running a marathon of the same show for 4 days straight? If someone doesn't like the show, they've essentially lost the viewer for 4 days.

You have an excellent point. For some reason, they wanted to run through the whole series...which is great for me as I like the show. But for those who don’t, they lose viewers for quite a stretch.
