I can't find the Christmas Day marathon listing. Is is listed somewhere on this site?

I see in my guide that the "I Love Lucy Xmas" is listed at 9:00PM. What time does this Xmas day marathon start?

pavanbadal....

Thanks for the information. The day you posted that info I was in Boston for the week. I should have looked futher back in the threads. It's rough to get old!!!!

[twinkle44301]

pavanbadal....I can't BELIEVE my guide was correct(well, except the 10:30-11:30 slot on Sat.)! I guess I won't bash my guide again!! What a surprise to go to Ask Morty and see what I had listed....

Everyonce in a while, Netlink comes through....This is a huge improvement from last year. Last year they only had "Holiday Marathon" with no show titles...

[LucyFan]

YES! I am so glad TV Land added the "I Love Lucy" christmas special to the fandemonium as well as "Dennis the Menace" christmas episode. I am so excited! To me, this is a improvement on the TV Land Christmas Fandemonium.

[twinkle44301]

Lucyfan....I agree, I can't wait to see the I Love Lucy Xmas. I have never seen it before. I am thrilled it is in their lineup!

[Lance Link]

This schedule is alot different than what was in the local paper here. There is a section that had all the Christmas shows that will air over the cable and Perfect Strangers, Just the Ten of Us, Kojack, and Fish wasn't listed . I am, however, happy to see that they are going to be on.

Well, I'd rather see a third season episode than one from seasons one or two, but that's my own thing. It's a fun show anyway.
