Greetings my friends and welcome again to what will pretty much amount to being the final post for this calendar year 2024 here on “The Chronicles of Piercing Ken”. If you’ve followed along with the website over the last few years and around this particular time, you know that we are here to talk about “The Honeymooners” because its time for the complete rundown of episodes that will be shown on PIX11 for their annual marathon. I’ve been doing this since 2020 and since its a longtime favorite show that has withstood the tests of time I’ve made this a bit of a year-end tradition. I remember the network doing this for many years even before we were publishing and a quick Google Search found that this has been done since 1996. I initially did this during the first year of the pandemic to help inspire people to remain inside but since so many in my circle aren’t doing too much and instead do mellow hangs I’ve kept it going. Now before I list the rundown, let me point out that the information on it was a little spotty and didn’t match up 100%. I used two resources to cull the data together and on the PIX11 website, the marathon shows as pausing from 4AM to 7AM to show local news and programming. On the other resource, the Spectrum TV Channel Guide, shows the marathon pausing from 4AM to 8AM for the same aforementioned programming. Then I saw a commercial on Channel 11 saying that there were “27” episodes to watch so I suggest just programming the whole time. Down below I’ve listed what can be found on the website listings. The other difference is that this year the marathon begins at 12:30AM on New Year’s Day as opposed to being the final hour of programming on the Channel before the New Year begins. We are also following Eastern Standard Time. If you’re in New York City like we are that means we are losing some five and a half possible marathon hours. IMHO, no one is that interested in regional and world news after partying and would likely rather spend the time with the Kramdens and the Nortons. Though I appreciate the fact that PIX11 does this marathon every year, they would serve their audience best by getting all the main important news into one broadcast for one hours time and leave the rest to the marathon. After the year that 2024 was, I would rather hear less about the things that are wrong since my regular news reminds me of that on a daily basis. The rundown is presented down below in full and please remember where it was sourced from if there should be any discrepancies. If anything is different when the broadcast happens do NOT yell at me in the comments and please instead send any gripes to the network directly via their social media profiles or website contact information. I think social media would work best in this case scenario and now onto the rundown.

Greetings my friends and welcome to a special post with a dual purpose. I am not only here to wish you and yours a very “Happy Thanksgiving” but also to tell you that PIX11 has recently announced that a mini-marathon of eight episodes of “The Honeymooners” will be broadcast between showings of the holiday classic “March of The Wooden Soldiers” on Thanksgiving Day. That’s the timeless Laurel and Hardy film if you for some odd reason have never heard of it. Now the readers of this website know that for the last few years I’ve been posting a rundown of “The Honeymooners” marathon that begins after the evening news on PIX11 on New Year’s Eve and runs for a number of hours into New Year’s Day pausing only for local news. This however will be the very first time that I preceded that post with one about the Thanksgiving mini-marathon and truth be told I don’t recall there having been one before. I could be wrong about that so please don’t chastise me. These eight episodes are surely a tease for the longer marathon to come for New Year’s Day and as I glance on the ones airing can confirm to having seen them numerous times over the years. I’m still going to watch them since it is something that always hits the funny bone. These episodes come from that is called the “Classic 39”. Since it starts at 11:00AM, those who are in charge of the cooking might want to get the small portable TV’s that many used to have for such events. Here’s the rundown of episodes.

Hello friends and welcome to one of our last posts for the 2023 with a favorite thing to share around this time of the year. Now if you’ve visited us in the past when the year is wrapping up you’ll realize that it’s once again time to share one of our favorite marathons with the readership audience. For the last couple of years I’ve sat down and cobbled together a complete rundown of the annual marathon of the classic comedy series “The Honeymooners” that is broadcast over on Channel 11. Since this particular post is always a popular one I’ve made it a sort of year-ending tradition. Historically speaking, the network has been airing this marathon of the series for as long as I can remember and I myself began running it for the first time when 2019 was ready to become 2020. When 2020 became the year that it did I felt that it might be a good idea to run this one again to try to keep people inside the safety of their homes. I’ve decided to keep on doing it since I’m a big fan of the show and find myself watching it whenever it happens to come on. If you’ve never managed to see this series and believe me I know some of you are out there, there is no better way to educate yourself in it than with this marathon. If you think that you have sufficient space on your DVR or cloud-based system then you should start progrmming the episodes now. This year, the marathon is showing “28” of the original “Classic 39” episodes and I think that I will program it this year myself since I will most likely be sleeping when a block of it is airing and then running around during part of the first day of the year. Start the 2024 year off right by spending it in Brooklyn with Ralph Kramden, Ed Norton, Alice Kramden and Trixie Norton and just relax for awhile while appreciating one of the timeless and still very, very funny comedies of our time. The marathon begins at 11PM and will run continuously into New Year’s Day with a pause for other programming from 4AM until 8AM. It will then pick up and run until 5PM on New Year’s Day. The rundown is presented down below in full and please know that I sourced the information from the PIX 11 website directly. If anything is different when the broadcast happens do NOT yell at me in the comments and please instead send any gripes to the network directly via their social media profiles.
