The perfect Christmas movie marathon? Dirty Dancing

dirty_dancing_lake_sceneOne of the stranger quirks of the holidays on television is the way networks and channels program. Movie marathons have become very common, especially TBS's tradition of 24-hours of A Christmas Story. Now, another network is following in TBS's tradition by scheduling a movie marathon of its own. The TV Guide Network will present a 12-hour marathon of Dirty Dancing. That's right, the Patrick Swayze-Jennifer Grey drama musical.

  • Do you think reality television is ruining documentaries? Join the discussion over at Cinematical.
  • Yesterday was Mother's Day, everybody! Did you do something nice for the special mama in your life? Did you make her coffee?

  • Did you know that both Ishtar and Dirty Dancing came out in the summer of '87? Take a trip down memory lane over at Cinematical.

Neil Patrick Harris as Patrick Swayze(S02E12) Ah, the new year. I was waiting to hear the Bob Saget voiceover mention that this episode happened in "the winter of 2007," but they just decided to leave the date off. Oh, well.

This week, we get a two-fer of Robin fun: we get some exploration into the Robin-Ted relationship and we get to meet her little sister Katie (who I swear to God looks like a smaller version of Robin). Boy, Robin's parents were busy, weren't they? Robin and Katie must be at least ten years apart in age. Whether there were kids in between them or not, let's just say that the romance hasn't gone out of the elder Scherbatskys' marriage.
