Fear not! TLC has you covered for the quarantine, social-distancing, telework world in which we now live. There are a bevy of marathons heading your way!

What’s better than a marathon? Simple. A TLC marathon! The guilty pleasure channel has some great stuff in store for viewers while we hunker down and avoid the ‘Rona. Get ready to plug into TLC, grab a bowl of popcorn, and drop the remote, because all your favorites like My 600lb Life, 7 Little Johnstons, Say Yes to the Dress, and Dr. Pimple Popper are going to be dominating airwaves.

Check out the marathons headed your way!

Let’s get poppin’

You may have already missed the first marathon of Dr. Pimple Popper on March 19, but there are two more on the horizon. For the next two Thursdays you already know what to watch all evening.

On both March 26 and April 2, Dr. Pimple Popper will negate the talk of popcorn earlier. Tune in at 3 p.m. and stay until 8 p.m. That’s five whole hours of mystery fluids being ejected from torso lesions, and raw chicken being extracted from hunchbacks. Go ahead and schedule dinner at 8:30 p.m. to give your stomach some time to calm down.

Love in the time of Cholera

Now that we’re done with the ailments and diseases, it’s time to find love. TLC has you covered on two fronts! Not only is the cat-fishing train-wreck 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days airing from 12 p.m.- 6 p.m. on Monday March 30, but there are multiple nights for Say Yes to the Dress. One night of dress shopping already aired, but there is plenty more to go around.

On Saturday, March 21, Say Yes to the Dress: Atlanta is taking the entire day on TLC. Put on your Depends (it’s not like you have toilet paper anyway), because it’s airing from 6am to 8pm. The next two Fridays are Say Yes to the Dress days as well. Both March 27 and April 3 from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. are your windows to watch brides and bridesmaids catfight and squeeze into dresses they shouldn’t.

More marathon than the rest

What can be said about My 600lb Life? It’s addictive and there is a ton of material from which to enjoy. While Father Time has already digested two of the marathons, there are plenty more to go. How does four straight days of My 600lb Life marathoning sound?

More from Reality TV

On March 24 it starts at 12 p.m. and goes until 3 p.m. The next day, it’s eight hours from 12 p.m. – 8 p.m. Then the next two days it’s 12pm-3pm. And then from April 1 to April 3 the voyeurism continues. The first day is 12 p.m. – 8 p.m., and the next two days are 12 p.m. – 3 p.m.

Overall, that’s 31 hours My 600lb Life for a total of at least My 18,600lb Marathon!

Last but not least

If that’s not your flavor, then Tuesday, March 31 is going to be perfect for you. It’s on the complete opposite end of the spectrum. Tune in at 6 a.m. for 7 Little Johnstons and they’ll journey – in very short steps – all the way to 1 p.m. From there, let Little People, Big World entertain you until 9 p.m.

That’s 15 hours, or 30 half hours if you prefer.

Next. Fun things to do during the marathon. dark

Tune into TLC to catch your favorite shows while you’re stuck at the house. You’ll be drawn in much more than when flipping through Netflix hoping to find something to watch. Trust me; you won’t be sorry.
