Antenna TV "All of All in the Family" marathon Thanksgiving weekend - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

snowpeck · 09-27-2017, 02:52 PM

Thanksgiving weekend, starting Wednesday, November 22, at 5 a.m. running through Monday, November 27, at 5 a.m., AntennaTV is having a massive marathon of every episode of All in the Family.

Two notes though... Johnny Carson will still air each night at 10 p.m. and 2 a.m., and the E/I shows will still air Saturday morning.

Not my idea of a good Thanksgiving show. Also it seems like whenever AntennaTV has a marathon, fans of "Hazel" get on Facebook to complain, lol.

What would your idea for a Thanksgiving show be?

Thinking of shows on AntennaTV, I'd have to go with "Newhart." It's a nice pleasant show. I like "All in the Family," but it's a lot of yelling and doesn't play as a good Thanksgiving show in my mind.

Maybe not for your family but there are plenty of families that fight when they get together. Now they can get hints on what names to call each other.

AITF is on too much. A marathon should be for a show that you've seen but not often. AITF has been on forever.

Now, just sticking my 2 cents in, I really don't know what I would schedule.

"Hazel" would make for a great Thanksgiving marathon.

I remember when they used to play "Leave it to Beaver" for Thanksgiving.

AITF is not quite the same.

Dale Key · 09-28-2017, 12:18 AM

Wings or Newhart would be much better choices.

Ugh! A one day marathon of All in the Family would be bad enough, but the whole weekend? That will be 5 straight days, massive overkill. Of course I might not mind as much if it was a show I liked. I might be out of town anyway.

They're probably trying to make us thankful for their other programs by taking them away. I'd probably do Becker, Wings, and Newhart, my personal favorites. Off topic, but has anyone noticed that Becker, Wings, and Newhart tend to be grouped together on the schedule? And in one of their promos, they put clips from these three shows together. Three great shows that go great together IMO. Unfortunately they gave Family Ties a weeknight slot and that f'd it up. So now instead of Becker, Wings, and Newhart being together, now it's Becker, Wings, Family Ties, and Newhart (in no particular order)

I'd take a "platter" of WINGS please- NOW THAT'S something to be
thankful for! (I just LOVE the show)

AITF is a great show, but I'd rather have a more mellow show for a turkey day marathon.

Same here, but I'd mostly just like to have something that isn't so political! In my opinion, the one thing that TV and Thanksgiving have in common is that politics should NOT be brought up.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure Wings already has an annual Valentines marathon. Honestly, I think Dear John would work better for Valentines Day.

How about we all email Antenna asking them to air something else next Thanksgiving! I'm so thankful for email
