Greetings my friends and welcome to a special post with a dual purpose. I am not only here to wish you and yours a very “Happy Thanksgiving” but also to tell you that PIX11 has recently announced that a mini-marathon of eight episodes of “The Honeymooners” will be broadcast between showings of the holiday classic “March of The Wooden Soldiers” on Thanksgiving Day. That’s the timeless Laurel and Hardy film if you for some odd reason have never heard of it. Now the readers of this website know that for the last few years I’ve been posting a rundown of “The Honeymooners” marathon that begins after the evening news on PIX11 on New Year’s Eve and runs for a number of hours into New Year’s Day pausing only for local news. This however will be the very first time that I preceded that post with one about the Thanksgiving mini-marathon and truth be told I don’t recall there having been one before. I could be wrong about that so please don’t chastise me. These eight episodes are surely a tease for the longer marathon to come for New Year’s Day and as I glance on the ones airing can confirm to having seen them numerous times over the years. I’m still going to watch them since it is something that always hits the funny bone. These episodes come from that is called the “Classic 39”. Since it starts at 11:00AM, those who are in charge of the cooking might want to get the small portable TV’s that many used to have for such events. Here’s the rundown of episodes.

Hello friends and welcome to one of our last posts for the 2023 with a favorite thing to share around this time of the year. Now if you’ve visited us in the past when the year is wrapping up you’ll realize that it’s once again time to share one of our favorite marathons with the readership audience. For the last couple of years I’ve sat down and cobbled together a complete rundown of the annual marathon of the classic comedy series “The Honeymooners” that is broadcast over on Channel 11. Since this particular post is always a popular one I’ve made it a sort of year-ending tradition. Historically speaking, the network has been airing this marathon of the series for as long as I can remember and I myself began running it for the first time when 2019 was ready to become 2020. When 2020 became the year that it did I felt that it might be a good idea to run this one again to try to keep people inside the safety of their homes. I’ve decided to keep on doing it since I’m a big fan of the show and find myself watching it whenever it happens to come on. If you’ve never managed to see this series and believe me I know some of you are out there, there is no better way to educate yourself in it than with this marathon. If you think that you have sufficient space on your DVR or cloud-based system then you should start progrmming the episodes now. This year, the marathon is showing “28” of the original “Classic 39” episodes and I think that I will program it this year myself since I will most likely be sleeping when a block of it is airing and then running around during part of the first day of the year. Start the 2024 year off right by spending it in Brooklyn with Ralph Kramden, Ed Norton, Alice Kramden and Trixie Norton and just relax for awhile while appreciating one of the timeless and still very, very funny comedies of our time. The marathon begins at 11PM and will run continuously into New Year’s Day with a pause for other programming from 4AM until 8AM. It will then pick up and run until 5PM on New Year’s Day. The rundown is presented down below in full and please know that I sourced the information from the PIX 11 website directly. If anything is different when the broadcast happens do NOT yell at me in the comments and please instead send any gripes to the network directly via their social media profiles.
