It should more like 10pm to 2am, so I probably can only see half of the mini-thon

I am so glad that The Benson Marathron did well for TV Land that is Awsome News

jamier42 · 06-08-2006, 05:30 PM

That is great news I am happy that it did well.

TVJunkie101 · 06-08-2006, 07:21 PM

I'm SO happy Benson did well! Yay!

But didn't Carol Burnett and Flip Wilson do well in THEIR marathons and then flop... same for a few others?

Hopefully it continues to do well during the regular airings. I LOVE Benson. Up until this past weekened I had barely seen any of it. Ten times more hilarious than I ever thought.

I am very glad to hear that Benson did well in the ratings, but I'm really not surprised.

James"Thunder"Early · 06-08-2006, 07:54 PM

That's good news, I was afraid it might have problems, but I guess I was wrong. The marathon exposed the show to new viewers.

Scoobiedoo30 · 06-09-2006, 10:05 AM

Benson did so well TV Land is giving Benson a Mina Marathron Starting Monday, June 12, 2006

Brian Damage · 06-09-2006, 11:29 AM

I'm glad it did well. I didn't get a chance to see much of the marathon.

GSU2004 · 06-12-2006, 10:08 AM

Hopefully this will encourage more people to vote for it get on DVD. It's getting harder to see the classic sitcoms in syndication anymore

RWCTV · 06-13-2006, 02:32 AM

It seems as though the mini-marathon is a chance for viewers to watch the rest of the week's episodes in one night. After four episodes air (Tuesdays through Fridays) they re-air encores for the rest of the mini-marathon.

So, if you do not feel like waiting till ten o' clock every day, then you can watch, tape, and/or DVD record all of the episodes all at once.

It is a good idea in my opinion.

GSU2004 · 06-13-2006, 09:47 AM

I'm glad TVLand is giving us the marathon, I only hope that they don't stale it out by having countless marathons like they do for Good Times. I would like to see Benson on for an hour.

Pavan · 06-20-2006, 09:58 AM

Benson is still doing well, but they will shift the 11 p.m. episode now to 11:30 p.m. The Monday marathons will remain. Here are the new changes:
