Creepshow and Twilight Zone

Me and someone else were talking this past weekend about marathons on television and we couldn't find anything to look at for the memorial weekend and we had a lot of free time off our hands. We got to talking about shows we like and we both talk about the original creepshow and how that has not been shown in a while and how great it would have been for a television station to have played that for us to enjoy on our free weekend, especially sense they showed the kind of creepy shows that you want to pop popcorn and eat while you are watching. I especially had to admit I miss the Skelton man that did the odd laugh and talk about all these dummies who find themselves in a very odd situation. Then came to mind for me, my all time favorite television series that had a little creepiness' to it was, of course the twilight zone, why did not any of the stations think to do a twilight zone marathon, this would have been perfect, and I would have stayed up all night watch each and every episode. Twilight Zone has something of everything in it which would make it a great marathon for those long weekends that people may have at home, especially now since people are not trying to go out like they use too. Yes there has been time when people play some marathons too much, but since there has not been a marathon of neither of these shows in a while, why not pick a long weekend and show it, give people who decide to abide by the social distancing and keeping their standards to staying at home then hanging in the streets a reason to want to stay at home and give them something good to look at. Because the new norm as I see it is get your food to go at a restaurant and take your butt back home and eat it, or cook your own food and keep your distance so that you don't have to worry about putting yourself or others in danger. So come on television broadcasters give us some good programming that will make us want to stay in and abide by the social distancing to keep us from affecting one another. We all still need to keep it safe and doing this we have to be more creative with at home ideas, less parties and get together and more television shows and movies and then we can go online and have like a talk party about the shows we watch. Instead of a watch party, it is a talk party online and we can all give our own opinion of what we thought about the show.
