Celebrate Thanksgiving with these TV marathons
- TV Show
Thanksgiving weekend is a marathon of excess—excessive eating, excessive amounts of awkward family members, and excessive amounts of your favorite movies and television shows.
While streaming services have made it easier than ever to create your own marathons of beloved films and shows, plenty of TV networks are continuing the long tradition of programming long stretches of classic TV shows and film franchises throughout the Thanksgiving weekend.
Here are some of the best excuses to keep the TV tuned to a single channel throughout the holiday weekend.
