The July 4th holiday weekend typically means BBQs, cold drinks, friends and family. But for TV fans, it’s also a time for marathons. To guide you through the abundant offerings, TVLine compiled a list of the best cram sessions. There’s something here for everyone, from procedural junkies (so much law and order and crime!) to reality-TV magnets (mob wives, housewives and cake bosses!) to those who like their TV a bit retro (we’ll always love Lucy). Pick your favorites and get comfy on the couch.
