There are currently four that I know of:

FX has The X-Files
Sci-Fic has Star Trek
Court TV has Profiler
TNN has Miami Vice

I've been flipping back and fourth between the X-Files and Profiler.

X-Files, of course!

<small>I watched the LAW & ORDER 9 hour marathon yesterday and part of the McHales Navy one.</small>
I'm watching the following right now:


I can't wait until the marathon coming this weekend!



Cartoon Network celebrates its ninth annual JUNE BUGS marathon with a 49-hour presentation of 165 Bugs Bunny cartoons from Friday, June 1, at 11 p.m. through Sunday, June 3, at 12 midnight (ET, PT). Chronicling the rambunctious rabbit's career from 1938's "Porky's Hare Hunt" through 1997's "From Hare to Eternity" Cartoon Network will air 177 Bugs Bunny cartoons. The 49-hour marathon will feature episodes produced over four decades by renowned directors including Friz Freleng, Chuck Jones, Bob Clampett and Tex Avery. This year, 55 Bugs Bunny cartoons make their Cartoon Network debut during JUNE BUGS including "Napoleon Bunny-Part", "Rabbitson Crusoe" and "Ali Baba Bunny."

Here's the 12 Bugs Bunny cartoons you won't be seeing during June Bugs this year:<small>
1- Hiawatha's Rabbit Hunt (Friz Freleng; 1941): An Academy Award nominated cartoon in which Bugs is hunted by a dopey Indian named Hiawatha (who looks and acts a little bit like our old friend, Elmer J. Fudd). At one time this cartoon was a regular feature (and I do mean regular) on the Turner Network's cartoon programs.
2- All This and Rabbit Stew (Tex Avery; 1941): Tex Avery's final Bugs Bunny cartoon. It features a black stereotype hunter going after Bugs. It has been pulled from television distribution since the 1960's.
3- Any Bonds Today? (Bob Clampett; 1942): A special short wartime propaganda film (also known as "Leon Schlesinger Presents Bugs Bunny" or "The Bugs Bunny Bond Rally"). It basically features Bugs singing the title song. In the middle, Bugs appears briefly blackface and does an impersonation of Al Jolson.
4- What's Cookin' Doc? (Bob Clampett; 1944): One of Bob Clampett's most famous Bugs Bunny cartoons. A parody of the Academy Awards in which Bugs is convinced he's a shoo-in to get the award. The reason this is now banned? Bugs shows the audience a short clip from his Oscar nominated "Hiawatha's Rabbit Hunt". Does anyone remember that waaaay back in 1998, Warner Bros. had this cartoon as part of their touring "Bugs Bunny Film Festival".
5- Bugs Bunny Nips the Nips (Friz Freleng; 1944): Another WWII era cartoon. Castaway Bugs washes ashore on and island where he soon encounters a bunch of stereotypical Japanese soldiers. In the end, Bugs defeats them all.
6- Herr Meets Hare (Friz Freleng; 1945): Bugs meets up with WWII enemies again. This time it is Hermann Goering and, in the end, Hitler himself. This short is still scheduled to be included in the upcoming Toonheads: The Wartime Cartoons special on Cartoon Network.
7- A Feather In His Hare (Chuck Jones; 1948): Another not-very-bright Indian hunts for Bugs. Bugs tricks him by, among other things, making snowballs in the middle of July. In the end, Bugs and "the last of the Mohicans" are shocked to realize they are now fathers ("Eh, what's up, pop?"). This Chuck Jones cartoon was also regularly seen on the Turner Networks up until 1998.
8- Which is Witch? (Friz Freleng; 1949): In Africa, Bugs finds himself hunted by the tiny witch doctor, I.C. Spots, who needs a rabbit to finish his latest potion.
9- Frigid Hare (Chuck Jones; 1949): On his way to a two week vacation in Miami, Bugs takes a wrong turn and ends up at the South Pole. There he rescues a cute little penguin from an Eskimo. This cartoon is a fan favorite which was also seen regularly on television until very recently.
10 - Mississippi Hare (Chuck Jones; 1949): Bugs, asleep in a cotton field, has his cotton tail mistaken for cotton. Bugs soon finds himself on a riverboat where he meets short-tempered gambler Colonel Shuffle. Gags include an exploding cigar causing the Colonel to appear in blackface and Bugs duping the Colonel into walking overboard when the Rabbit sells him a ticket to "Uncle Tom's Cabinet". While never shown on Cartoon Network, this cartoon aired as part of Kids' WB Bugs N Daffy Show (1995-8).
11- Bushy Hare (Robert McKimson; 1950): Many cartoon fans fondly remember this cartoon. A bunch of runaway balloons carry Bugs into the clouds where he bumps into a stork heading to Australia to deliver a baby kangaroo. Bugs is delivered to Mama Kangaroo and, to make her happy, Bugs pretends to be her "son". The Rabbit then encounters an aborigine, who he nicknames "Nature Boy". "Nature Boy" is basically a human version of a popular character who McKimson would introduce four years later: the Tasmanian Devil. This cartoon was seen regularly on Nickelodeon from 1988-99.
12- Horse Hare (Friz Freleng; 1960): A western parody set in 1885 at Fort Lariat. Bugs is left in charge of the Fort, when a tribe of Indians led by Yosemite Sam attacks. In the end, the day is saved when the Calvary shows up. Unfortunately for Sam, who gets caught in the middle of the oncoming Calvary and Indians ("Whoooooa, Calvary!!! Whoooooa, Indians!!! Whoooa!!!").


Since the announcement, there has come word that Cartoon Network might be broadcasting a special half-hour episode of Toonheads during the marathon titled "12 Missing Hares". The special, which Jerry Beck is involved in, will include clips from all 12 cartoons and narration explaining why CN won't be broadcasting them. The special will also include some other "offending" clips from Bugs' cartoons, such as the ending to "Fresh Hare". However, if Warner Bros. doesn't approve of it, it won't be shown. Again, for all the latest developments about this special (such as any possible airdate), it is a good idea to stay tuned to Jerry Beck's http://www.cartoonresearch.com/.

A&E - Magnum P.I.

Naturally, I don't get Cartoon Network. I love Looney Tunes. <sigh>

X-Files, although my Tivo kept trying to record The Pretender marathon on TNT.

Wow! There were six marathons going this weekend!!!!

I watched a little Miami Vice yesterday. But for the most part I watched the baseball marathon on ESPN and ESPN2 -- they aired like 7 games or something!

Even though I've seen them all a billion times and have them all on tape, I fell prey to Sci-Fi's Star Trek marathon. They did a good job of showing mostly great episodes, and I couldn't seem to tear myself away. Especially after the tragedy that was the Voyager finale, I had this thirst for some real Star Trek. My other TV, of course, was tuned in to hour upon hour of baseball on ESPN and The Deuce.

das

Magnum P.I.!

das - yea, one of my friends told me that the Voyager finale was chock full o' suck. He was VERY disappointed. But how could I not watch Trrangle. I LOVE the response Scully gives when Mulder says "I love you." Cracks me up every time.

Umm, I went out and did stuff....

Besides, I don't have cable.

early morning - vice

midmorning to around 5pm - magnum

5 until 7 - trek

then Dick on Showtime West

then my VHS tape of SW:ANH original version.

I had a personal Larry Sander Show marathon when I found a tape of 4 hrs of Sanders I had forgotten I taped.

GuessWho - going out and doing stuff is great. It would have been better here had the weather not sucked so bad. So, I stayed in. Not to mention the cough from hell that just won't go away.....

My fellow B5 fan, "chock full o' suck" is the most articulate and accurate description I have heard to date.

As for going outside, it stormed all day here too. I wanted so badly to go outside, but alas, it was 12 hours of Star Trek.

das

das - LOL!!!! Yea, I haven't gone into any of the Voyager finale threads because I didn't watch it. I really didn't feel the need to. I stopped watching the show mid second or third season, so how can I really comment? But, I always manage to say something, don't I?
