Fourth of July: 20 TV Marathons for Independence Day Weekend

Paramount Network

"Frasier"

Looking for ways to make your own declaration of independence for the Fourth of July weekend? What better way to spend your time off from work, ignore the “honey-do” list, and put up the figurative “do not disturb” sign than with a TV marathon or 20?

The Hollywood Reporter’s Live Feed has made its five picks in four different genres that should fit whatever mood you’re in for the holiday weekend.

• Comedy

Frasier, Hallmark Channel, Saturday 11 a.m. – Sunday 1 am

Before we got involved with Kelsey Grammer's marital woes on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and he became The Boss for Starz, he was Frasier. And we still liked him then.

I Love Lucy, Hallmark Channel, Sunday 11 a.m. – Monday 1 a.m.

What can we say? We have a weakness for this redhead.

50 Star Stand-up Weekend, Comedy Central, Sunday 8 a.m. – Monday 5 a.m.

Arrested Development, IFC, Sunday 11:45 a.m. – 3:15 p.m.

It only lasted three seasons on Fox, but what a hilarious ride it was.

There’s nothing more uniquely American than a bunch of old cougars… and cheesecake.

If you feel bad about staying in for the holiday, these folks prove that they should have just sent a card.

This spooked us out as children and we should say it still does.
