Labor Day, first celebrated in 1887, is officially described as a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of their country. Basically, it’s a day to celebrate workers by not working, which means it’s also the perfect excuse to plop yourself in front of the TV and catch up on some of your favorite shows and moves. From Friends to Rambo and Star Trek, here are all of your marathons happening this Labor Day (all times EST).
