GSN to Host Betty White Marathon
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Daytime, Games, Cable, Video,
To celebrate Betty White’s SNL debut, the Game Show Network will host a seven-hour marathon of the octogenarian’s greatest game show moments. White, a once-frequent guest on Match Game, will be the central programming theme for the cable network from 9 am to 4 pm on May 8.
White appeared on the show from 1974 to 1977 along fellow celebs like Eva Gabor, Richard Dawson and Brett Somers. Match Game was a slightly naughty Mad Libs-style game where contestants did their best to match celebrity answers - and really, it’s great fun. If you’ve never seen the show, Betty White Saturday is a great excuse to check it out. During the marathon, viewers will be treated to classic Betty White moments. She’ll show off some exotic dancing, have ice cubes thrown down her blouse and make jokes about her famous then-husband Allen Ludden.

MONDAY 12/22)- Prison Break (FOX, 9pm): “Sara is waiting for news of Michael in a luxury hotel, and she’s not enjoying the luxury.” She becomes unreasonably paranoid anytime someone offers to turn down her bed.
- Momma’s Boys (NBC, 9pm): “The guys go on group dates planned by their moms and individual dates they planned.” Until the big Jay Leno move, NBC will just run MTV’s hand-me-downs.
- The Hills (MTV, 10pm): Season 4 finale. “Lauren and Heidi run into each other and are reminded of why they used to be friends.” I, quite frankly, could use a reminder as well.
- 17 Kids & Counting (TLC, 10pm): “The family welcomes the arrival of Jordyn-Grace Makiya Duggar.” Wake me up when they get to “J.Lo.”

- I Want to Work for Diddy (VH1, 9pm): Series finale. “The final contestants train with Marcus Buckingham and are interviewed by Diddy.” If they mistakenly admit their loyalty for McCain, Diddy will retreat back under the covers.
- Exiled (MTV, 10:30pm): “A hip hop star’s daughter is sent to the island nation Vanuatu to live in a bug-filled jungle in the shadow of an active volcano.” Had she wasted her youth watching Survivor: Vanuatu, she would have been prepared.

Get Caught Up with a Dirty Sexy Money Marathon
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, ABC, Cable, News,
If I haven’t already made it clear, let me say it now: I love SOAPnet. When I first discovered the guilty pleasure during a trip Florida, I was absolutely ecstatic. It was like discovering a lost love. The O.C.? Dallas? Melrose Place? Unfortunately, I was forced to wait until the channel was picked up in Seattle before I could be reunited with my newfound friend again.
Since that time, the channel has provided me a wealth of entertainment during program-lacking hours. Just this past Labor Day weekend, I caught myself getting sucked into a Beverly Hills, 90210 marathon. Now I’ve got to get my DVR prepared once again.
Later this month, those of you lucky enough to have SOAPnet in your area can catch up with the lives of the Darlings. The network with great taste will now be devoting 10 hours of programming to Dirty Sexy Money. If you like your soap operas, then this ABC drama is the one for you. Spoiled fraternal twins, politicians sleeping with transsexuals, immoral reverends with secret children - you name it, the series has it.
The Dirty marathon airs from 9am to 7pm on Saturday, September 27. Season 2 will then officially kick off four days later on Wednesday, October 1.

SOAPnet Airs 90210 Marathon
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Cable, News,
If SOAPnet’s daily airings of Beverly Hills, 90210 aren’t enough for you, the network’s Labor Day schedule should keep your DVR busy.
On September 1, the cable channel will devote 24 hours of programming to the original FOX soap. The tribute, which conveniently falls on a holiday, will get fans warmed up for CW’s heavily-hyped debut. Unfortunately, the marathon inconveniently runs up against the season premiere of another popular teen drama: Gossip Girl.
SOAPnet kicks off its day-long coverage midnight Sunday. Everyone will then get to see 90210 for the first time on Tuesday, September 2nd.
