Sanford and Son that are NOT Christmas episodes-lol

S&S only had ONE christmas ep and it's on right now. But later today from 5pm to 8pm, there will be 6 NON-Christmas eps of Sanford and Son and this is a Merrython?? Great Way to close out the Year
TV land-lol

You're kidding me-LOL. Maybe they think if they include six non-Christmas episodes of Sanford and Son and call it a Merrython, nobody will notice-LOL

You would think they would fill those slots with additional christmas eps of the Brady Bunch or Jeffersons or any other show with more than one christmas ep

I thought the Merrython was supposed to be ending kind of early today...maybe those S&S episodes are part of some regular programming thing and not really meant to be part of the Merrython?

Yeah, there were a lot of great Jefferson's episodes that TV Land isn't airing.

Ok maybe that's it but that brings us to another question, why end the merrython at 5pm instead of 12am-lol

No, not a favorite of mine either. I actually like the ones from the later seasons the best. The episode they aired one of those Thursdays was good, where George promises every kid at the center they'll get what they want, and the season 4 episode "984 W. 124th Street, Apt. 5C"

I like the Christmas ep when the OLD MAN BUDDY comes to visit with ZEKE who was Woody from Sanford and Son

Yeah it comes on at 2pm today, the ep when George was slapped-lol

why can't TV Land license usage of certain episodes of shows for one time only? The only times TV Land is bearable these days is when they occasionally pull a show out that they never air elsewhere. What "present" is six Sanford And Son episodes when S&S airs every day anyways?

Just lets you know that S&S is one of their Hit Shows

The Merry-thon started yesterday at 5pm and ends today at 5pm. "24-Hour Merry-thon," that is the title of this stunt. They had another 24-Hour Merry-thon earlier this month, which was similar, but not totally the same as this one.
