Thanksgiving is a time to spend with family and friends, and what better way to do that than to gather around the television.
Start your day watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on NBC at 9 a.m. or wake up even earlier to binge the James Bond movie marathons on Syfy (6:30 a.m. - 8 p.m.) or EPIX (7:15 a.m. - 7 a.m. Friday).
Ready for all-day football? The Philadelphia Eagles take on the Detroit Lions at 12:30 p.m. on Fox. The Carolina Panthers versus the Dallas Cowboys game follows at 4:30 p.m. on CBS and to close the night, the Chicago Bears head north to face the Green Bay Packers at 8:30 p.m. on NBC.
Other TV show marathons include "Girlfriends' Guide to Divorce" on Bravo, "Modern Family" on USA and TV Land goes old school with "The Facts of Life."
