Monday, Sept. 1, is Labor Day, a day on which we honor worker associations in America, or to be totally honest, a day we spend being incredibly lazy.
Some see it as the last day of summer, at least the last day to take advantage of summer activities sans work. But if you're not spending it on vacation, at the beach or at a barbecue, then your favorite TV networks have you covered. From "Law & Order" and "Friends" to the original "Star Trek" movies and "Tosh.0," there are plenty of TV marathons to spend your Labor Day watching. The hardest work you'll be doing on Monday is deciding which shows to watch.
