Syfy Saves Your Holiday Weekend With Programming to Keep You Indoors


Happy holiday weekend! I bet you’re like me, with friends and family who are looking forward to spending the weekend doing outdoor activities. If so, you’re probably also like me, wondering “now, what can I do that will keep me inside this July 4th weekend?” Fortunately, the kind folks at Syfy are thinking of us, and have taken care of our schedule with marathons of some excellent American – see what I did there? – shows and movies. What a great way to celebrate!

SYFY WILL CELEBRATE AMERICA’S BIRTHDAY WITH ANNUAL 40-HOUR TWILIGHT ZONE MARATHON SUNDAY, JULY 3 THROUGH MONDAY, JULY 4

JULY 4TH WEEKEND SPECIAL PROGRAMMING BEGINS FRIDAY, JULY 1 WITH WAREHOUSE 13 AND EUREKA MARATHONS

Syfy will celebrate the Fourth of July weekend with three marathons (Warehouse 13, Eureka and The Twilight Zone) along with the premiere of the horror movie The Hills Have Eyes.

The fireworks begin on Friday, July 1, by giving fans of Syfy’s two most popular series a chance to re-live last year’s exciting seasons. The Warehouse 13 season two marathon airs 8AM-8PM (ET/PT), while the Eureka season 4.0 marathon runs 11PM-5AM.

Both series will return on Monday, July 11, with Eureka season 4.5 premiering at 8PM and Warehouse 13 season three at 9PM, followed by the debut of Alphas at 10PM, forming Syfy’s new Monday night scripted programming block — “The Most Powerful Night of the Week.”

On Saturday, July 3, The Hills Have Eyes at 9PM will be the centerpiece of daylong frightful movies including The Cave, Children of the Corn and The Devil’s Advocate.

The holiday festivities conclude with the 40-hour The Twilight Zone marathon, running Sunday, July 3 from 9AM-5AM and Monday, July 4, from 8AM-4AM, which takes viewers into a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity.

Syfy is a media destination for imagination-based entertainment. With year round acclaimed original series, events, blockbuster movies, classic science fiction and fantasy programming, a dynamic Web site (www.Syfy.com), and a portfolio of adjacent business (Syfy Ventures), Syfy is a passport to limitless possibilities. Originally launched in 1992 as SCI FI Channel, and currently in more than 99 million homes, Syfy is a network of NBCUniversal, one of the world’s leading media and entertainment companies. (Syfy. Imagine greater.)
