Holiday Weekend TV Marathons Abound: Watch Firefly, Arrested Development and more!

One of the best things about holiday weekends is all the options when it comes to TV Marathons. It's summer, it's hot, and sometimes all you want to do is vege out on the couch with a nice cold beverage and the A/C blasting. Check out my favorite marathons happening this weekend after the break!

Good Deal: SERENITY Blu-Ray only $10.49

My regular readers know just how big a Joss Whedon fan I am. So for me to say SERENITY is one of his most under-rated projects, that means you have to check it out. Even if you haven't seen Firefly, this movie can stand alone. I had many friends who saw the movie and loved it so much that they went back and checked out the series.

And now, for a limited time, the Blu-Ray is only $10.49 on Amazon. This is a MUST BUY situation. Head over to Amazon by clicking below:

My ABC's of Television

I did the ABC's of movies earlier, and me being a huge TV fan I knew I had to do this for the gems of the small screen. I feel like this list was even harder than the film one, since so many shows are close to my heart. While some letters had weak competition (allowing the newbie show NIKITA to take the letter N), there were a number of letters that were stacked. FRIENDS vs. FIREFLY vs. FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS vs. FREAKS AND GEEKS? ANGEL vs. ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT? Shows that are all so different, but so strong in their own way. Any glaring omissions? Let me know in the comments!

A is for ANGEL

B is for BUFFY

C is for CHUCK

D is for DOLLHOUSE

E is for EXTRAS

F is for FRIENDS

G is GILMORE GIRLS

H is for HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER
