[Classicshowsgurl15]

I like the ones that they are showing, but it would be nice if they put christmas episodes from like Family Ties, The Facts of Life, Family Matters,Happy Days. I would like to see those because we always see The Cosby Show, Roseanne, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air they need to show Christmas ones of shows that we don't see much on there anymore. Kind of like they did with The Warner Bros. 50th anniversary thing that they showed. They need to show different shows.

Pav, I see that the Murphy Brown episode "One" included in the marathon. By my calculations, N@N should be in S5 (The season in which "One" comes). Does this mean they'll skip it when it comes up in the cycle? I really want to tape this ep, and I don't want to end up missing my chance. Thanks in advance!

What about the CHristmas Full House episodes?

WHy isn't N@N airing the FULL HOUSE christmas episodes??

[Pavan]

After the Fresh Prince marathon week 12/12-12/15, Nick@Nite has added even longer marathons for Roseanne and Cosby Show:

Roseanne: Monday, December 19 thru Sunday, December 25 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. each night (except Dec. 21 10p-12a is The Producers Stunt and Fatherhood on 12/15 at 10p)

The Cosby Show: Monday, December 26 thru Sunday, January 1 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. each night (except Fatherhood on 12/15 at 10p)

Both of these marathons will have episodes going in order leaving off where the rotation last left off.

[USTVFanFromUK]

I guess Fresh Prince, Roseanne, and The Cosby Show brings in the most ratings for N@N, hence the marathons.
