1. Leave It To Beaver

2. Dennis the Menace (Especially the original Mr.Wilson Joesph Kearns)

3. Three’s Company (Especially Chrissy Years).

4. All In The Family

5. I Dream Of Jeannie

6. Growing Pains

So wait, AITF, Newhart and Leave It To Beaver has aired on Antenna TV on Thanksgiving? I don't remember that. If I had to choose I'd choose Leave It To Beaver. AITF is always on.

I prefer the regular schedule. Marathons drive me up the wall. For example, I love All in the Family, and I watch 2 episodes per night on DVD, but when they did that 4 days of it non stop last Thanksgiving, it was just too way much of the Bunkers.

That said, I did enjoy the recent Witch-o-Ween of Bewitched, but that was only for 1 day. I think 4 days non stop of anything is just overload.

I liked it when Antenna TV had a day long marathon of The Joey Bishop Show. It was on New Years Day 2016 or 17, I don't remember which year it was anymore. But that marathon was a real fun way to start off the new year and it got me interested in the show so I started collecting the episodes and recorded them so now I can have a Joey Bishop Show marathon anytime I like.

Having said that, I wouldn't mind if Antenna TV ran another one day marathon sometime of Joey's sitcom but most likely I figure they won't do it.

Yes and the show is still currently on the schedule. Not every episode is great but when choosing a favorite season I'd say season 3 is my favorite. The episode with Phil Foster and Leo Durocher is a classic, another classic is the episode where Joey's comedy writer Larry wins an award for best writer. The first half of the episode is the funniest when Joey starts getting pissed and eventually blows his top.

A really good episode from season 2 is Jillson And The Cinnamon Buns, where the janitor Jillson is supposed to be on a diet but can't stop eating cinnamon buns. LOL at Joe Besser, he is crazy and zany.

As long as it’s a show I like, 15-20 hrs of it are fine by me. Antenna’s marathons, for the most part, are great!

MA · 11-11-2018, 09:21 PM

All In The Family

PhoenixAcres · 11-11-2018, 10:05 PM

I don't think Newhart ever had a marathon on Thanksgiving.

So out of Leave it to Beaver, All in the Family, and Dennis the Menace, my vote went to Leave it to Beaver.

stevea · 11-11-2018, 10:13 PM

Leave it to Beaver. 2nd choice would be the regular schedule.

Merry24 · 11-11-2018, 10:27 PM

I’m sorry to all posters. Newhart had a Thanksgiving Marathon on WGN America 2008 and did not have a Thanksgiving Marathon on Antenna TV. Although Newhart did have a New Years Eve Marathon 2017. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I believe Antenna TV had the following Thanksgiving Marathons..
-Three’s Company 2011
-Leave It To Beaver 2012
-I Dream Of Jeannie 2013
-Dennis the Menace 2014
-Leave It To Beaver 2015
-All In The Family 2016
-All In The Family 2017
-Growing Pains 2018

stevea · 11-11-2018, 10:31 PM

Well that would have been one time there would be something to watch on WGN, plus what they did on Sunday nights years ago.
