How did we somehow decide that speciality channels should have movie/show marathons on long weekends? The first time I heard of it happening was with 24, which is the one show where a non-stop marathon makes some kind of sense. But now it's assumed that just because most people are off work, the optimum programming is eighteen consecutive hours of Criminal Minds. What are they telling us?
- Your mind is so pummelled by the stresses of modern life that once you have time to rest, you'll want to see According to Jim from the beginning.
- If you don't have something better to do today, we're assuming that you're the sort of anti-social obsessive that wants to see every Python Hunters ever made.
So what do people who are normally home during the day think of this? "Normally I'm stuck with The Price is Right and Y&R. What I wouldn't give for three or four hours of Repo Games."
