What to Watch on Monday: A Manson & Durham County combo

NCIS (6am, USA)  - It's not part of USA's Awards Marathon series, but it's a great marathon nonetheless. It'll get you psyched for the premiere of "NCIS: Los Angeles" with LL Cool J starting later this month. And it should go without saying: 15 hours of Mark Harmon (runs till 9pm).

Band of Brothers (10am, Spike) - Spike is showing the entire 10-episode mini-series today, starting at 10am. Spike is channel 40 on local Time Warner Cable.

Golden Girls Marathon (1pm, We) - And yet another Labor Day marathon. This one runs till midnight.

Manson (9pm, History Channel) - It's the 40th anniversary of the Manson murders, so that explains all the Manson programming I've been seeing lately. This is a two-hour docudrama on the Tate-LaBianca murders that includes archival footage and an interview with former "Manson Family" member Linda Kasabian.

Hoarders (10pm, A&E) - This is the episode of "Hoarders" that I will not be watching: a woman has 75 living and dead cats in her feces-covered, urine-soaked home. I'm no expert, but I say put the lady and the living cats in a no-kill shelter and burn that place down.

Durham County (10pm, ION) - Must-Watch: an award-winning mystery-suspense series from Canada with a particularly appealing title. It has murder, secrets, lies... Did I mention it's called "Durham County?" It stars Hugh Dillon and Justin Louis and runs for 6 episodes. NOTE: ION channel shows up as WRPX (or channel 21) on Time Warner Cable.

What to Watch on Saturday: Band of Brothers marathon on Spike

House (9am, USA) - As part of their Awards Marathon weekend, USA is showing episodes of "House" all day today. Actor Hugh Laurie, who plays Dr. Gregory House, has been nominated for four Emmys and also four Golden Globe Awards (and won two of those). He has also won two SAG awards. "House" airs first on Fox and then goes to USA for reruns. The USA Marathon runs till midnight.

Band of Brothers (7pm, Spike) - Spike is airing all 10 episodes of HBO's award-winning mini-series starting with the first 3 episodes tonight. Then they air episodes 1-6 on Sunday, and episodes 1-10 on Monday. The series follows Easy Company 506th Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division of the U.S. Army during the Allied invasion of Europe. It stars Damian Lewis, Donnie Wahlberg, David Schwimmer, and Ron Livingston.
