Thanksgiving TV marathons
You could watch football on Thanksgiving, I guess. But with so many TV marathons just waiting to sneak up and hook you, there’s really no need. Here’s a preview of this year’s holiday marathons, as listed in my Thursday Critic’s Picks column.

âThe Trouble With Harry” kicks off the marathon at 4:15 a.m., with âThe Man Who Knew Too Much” (9 a.m.), âVertigo” (11:30 a.m.) and âRear Window” (4:30 p.m.) also on the schedule.

Sadly, the best Thanksgiving marathon of all is no longer on the air. The MST3K Turkey Day marathon. The fact that MST3K is gone but we have a “Saved by the bell” marathon shows there is no justice in this world.
