275 TV Specials, Movies & Marathons for Memorial Day Weekend 2011
Mike Vicic - May 26, 2011
Do you need new ideas for your backyard BBQ from Bobby Flay? Are you going to the park to play or would you rather watch the French Open, the Indy 500 or the UEFA Champions League Final? Or would you rather salute our men in uniform by watching PBS' National Memorial Day Concert (pictured on the right), the National Memorial Day Parade or History's Civil War Week? If you can't make it to the beach, you can still take a trip to the JERSEY SHORE.
So bring out your lawn chair, throw some burgers on the BBQ, and watch some television, using this complete guide to Memorial-Day themed programming as well as series and movie marathons on TV for the entire Memorial Day Weekend.
