This year all the big cable networks are showcasing whatever prime-time show they've gotten the rights to play the reruns of in a marathon that even that the Kenyans wouldn't even be able to finish.
This year the picking are good. Like crime mysteries? Well CSI: is being showcased on Spike from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m., and it's spinoff counterpart CSI: Miami will be taking over A&E all day.
And if you want a crime show without all that science be sure to tune into TNT at 9 a.m. for The Closer marathon. TNT throws in an extra bonus with a brand new episode of at 9 p.m.
How about some comedy? I'll probably be checking out the Scrubs marathon on TV Land. Seven full hours, that's 14 episodes, of my favorite doctors getting into trouble. I just hope real hospitals aren't like that.
If you like your "older" comedy you can tune into FX for a day filled with That 70's Show. This marathon is wrapping up at 5:30 p.m. giving you just enough time to slap some burgers on the grill before your relative start complaining.
Just about every network is broadcasting a show. TBS is showcasing Tyler Perry's House of Pain, and SOAPnet is airing 24-hours of Beverly Hills 90210. ABC Family is showing My Wife and Kids all day.
For those not into the scripted TV thing there's always Dirty Jobs on Discovery, Tougher in Alaska on History, and an afternoon mini-marathon of Project Runway on Bravo!.
But why settle for shows when you can watch movies? BBC is showing the Pink Panther movies back to back - the good ones with Peter Sellers. And of course Comedy Central has a day of your favorite comedies scheduled for your viewing pleasure.
Whatever your choice, there are plenty of options. Try to watch one from start to finish. Maybe play a game? Or flip back and forth, just don't forget to flip those burgers.
