TV Land Rules the Road With Memorial Day Roadtrips

TV Land Celebrates Memorial Day With A Fourteen-Hour Marathon on Monday, May 28

NEW YORK, May 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Imagine the joy of a road trip without leaving the comfort of your own home -- no overheated cars, no flat tires and no getting ripped off at the pump. Beginning Monday, May 28 from 6:00am to 8:00pm (all times ET/PT), TV Land takes viewers on an excursion to cool and exotic places when the network presents Memorial Day Roadtrips, a fourteen- hour marathon of vacation episodes from the network's line-up, culminating with the hilarious pop culture hit movie, National Lampoon's Vacation. Join The Munsters for a frightful night of camping, the Ricardos and the Mertzes on their comedic cross-country journey to Hollywood, the Sanfords for some sun and surf in Hawaii and top off the day's adventures with The Griswolds at the famed Wally World Amusement Park.

The following is the schedule for Memorial Day Roadtrips (all times ET/PT):

as to put on a "celebrity act."

9:30a I Love Lucy #114 - LA At Last
Arriving in Hollywood with stars in her eyes Lucy heads for a "The

formally after she has presented Holden, inadvertently, with a
custard pie in the face.

10a I Love Lucy #128 - Lucy Visits Grauman's
With only a week left in Hollywood, Lucy weeps about her lack of
souvenirs. Her collection already includes a tin can run over by
Cary Grant's left rear tire, a napkin boasting Lana Turner's lip-
prints and a few other goodies; but when Lucy discovers John
Wayne's concrete block at Grauman's Chinese Theatre is loose she
decides to take home a souvenir to end all souvenirs.

10:30a I Love Lucy #131 - Ricky Sells The Car
