Pennsylvania has a very special celebration today. With Groundhog Day, we not only find out when spring is coming, we also get a chance to have a little party. Well, at least in places like Punxsutawney.<\/p>\n
Not all of us can get up to Gobbler\u2019s Knob and see the world\u2019s most famous groundhog weatherman – you know, Phil – give us his prediction so we have to find other ways to mark the occasion.<\/p>\n
We like to take some time today to watch \u201cGroundhog Day,\u201d one of our favorite movies. Sounds like a natural thing to do on this day, right?<\/p>\n
Apparently someone has forgotten to tell that to the television networks.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t think anyone will broadcast the Bill Murray comedy today. I have a couple of hundred channels. One network showed it last weekend. Another will show it next weekend. But no one will actually show it on Groundhog Day. That\u2019s just plain wrong.<\/p>\n
I should expect as much by now from entertainment companies. I mean, one of the networks showing the movie on the weekend is running a marathon of a show called \u201cMillionaire Matchmaker.\u201d<\/p>\n
Do we really need a show like that in the first place, much less two repeats to set the stage for tonight\u2019s new episode? Can\u2019t we as a country join together to send a message that we don\u2019t really care about televising the courting process? Especially for people who can afford to meet people in whatever fashion they choose?<\/p>\n
That might be too much to ask when we haven\u2019t risen together as one to show our outrage about the upcoming re-make of \u201cThe Karate Kid.\u201d The stinking thing now takes place in China where they don\u2019t even use karate, yet someone green-lighted the project.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t ask for a lot. I just want original projects like \u201cGroundhog Day\u201d to get their just due for one day.<\/p>\n
First off, Groundhog Day is not like President\u2019s Day or Memorial Day where the original holiday has moved closer to a weekend for the sake of convenience. Groundhog Day is on Feb. 2, end of story.<\/p>\n
That means you show the movie on Feb. 2. You don\u2019t show \u201cThe Goonies\u201d or \u201cThe Blues Brothers\u201d like some channels will tonight. You need to respect the holiday.<\/p>\n
Second of all, networks miss a golden opportunity to draw attention to themselves and this classic movie.<\/p>\n
One network shows \u201cA Christmas Story\u201d for 24 straight hours on Christmas. They don\u2019t wait until the weekend or squeeze it in between some of their bad original program. Christmas deserves a Christmas movie so they oblige.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t think every holiday deserves the same treatment, but the unique nature of Groundhog Day combined with the timeless comedy in the movie should convince some network \u2013 and we know there are enough out there for one of them to give it a shot \u2013 to appease people like me.<\/p>\n
The only solution to this great American problem is for one brave network to step up and show the movie non-stop on Groundhog Day.<\/p>\n
Then they can do the same thing the next day for good measure. It\u2019s the only way to help us survive a long and lustrous winter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
