I just witnessed the WORST MARATHON in the history of my TV watching Life - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TVFactFan · 06-13-2009, 03:54 PM

I wish I can beat the person in charge of TV Land programming into CRITICAL CONDITION.

The eps of MWC that were shown from 10am to 3pm are being repeated from 3:30pm to 8pm

What kind of marathon is that???? I'm sitting here laughing and enjoying myself since 10am and they are to show all those again the next 5 hours? This is the MADDEST I ever been with this network

And I don't want to hear about TV Land can only air a certain amount of eps because if that's the case then don't do the Marathon

Welcome to the world of TV Land watching.

The Roseanne marathon the whole past week was the same way, although the episodes repeated in the middle of the night so it wasn't quite as bad.

When I read your thread title, I was CERTAIN that it had something to do with Pauley Shore...

Didn't we get enough of MWC and M*A*S*H marathons back in their FX years? I'm sick of the marathons of shows that have been marathoned to death.

TV LAND = TV Lackluster, Airings, Nonstop, Daily!

Maybe they should use that slogan for a new promo of theirs!!!

The Link on the TV lands boards said that TV land started doing that with marathons because they feel that most people would not watch more than 5 hours at a time so they figure they do two 5 hour blocks of the same eps,

If that's not the dumbest sh*t I ever heard

Why on earth does this say "Classic Marathons" then "Married With Children" under it? WTF? It should be PRIME all weekend or maybe call it a "Married With Children PRIME Marathon"....definately not a classic marathon.

TVLand sounds like cheap azzes. I havent watched them in years!!
DO NOT listen to any 1996 promo/ads from TVLand it will just bring you to tears

I like the new TV Land better. Married with Children was a great show and I was glad it was on!
