Besides newcomer “E.T., The Extra-Terrestrial,” the Thanksgiving Day television lineup includes most of the traditional favorites of parades, series marathons, football games and classic movies.

“E.T.,” the most popular movie of all-time with records of $400 million in box-office receipts and 14 million home-video copies sold, makes its television debut on CBS at 8 p.m., Channels 2 and 8. (See related story, F1.)

Willard Scott and Katie Couric of the “Today” show anchor NBC’s coverage of the 65th Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade at 9 a.m. on Channels 4, 36 and 39.

Danny Gerard from “Brooklyn Bridge” and Jackee, who recently joined the cast of “The Royal Family,” are among the hosts of “The CBS All-American Thanksgiving Parade” (1 p.m., Channels 2, and 8), which covers the Macy’s parade and others from Disneyland, Hawaii and Toronto.

Three independent stations go to the archives for rerun marathons.

KTLA Channel 5 presents its 13th “Twilight Zone” marathon from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. The station isn’t releasing specific episode titles. Instead, it will be counting down the most popular episodes as determined by a mail vote, with the most-requested episode airing at 9:30 p.m.

KCAL Channel 9 hopes to capitalize on the film success of “The Addams Family” with 23 episodes from the 1964-66 ABC series from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Anaheim-based KDOC Channel 56 counters with a “Mary Tyler Moore Show” marathon from10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Episodes include pompous silver-haired anchorman Ted Baxter (Ted Knight) meeting then-CBS anchorman Walter Cronkite (10 a.m.); Mary Richards (Mary Tyler Moore) and Lou Grant (Edward Asner) visiting Washington, where they meet a congressman (Dabney Coleman) and get a call from then-First Lady Betty Ford (11 a.m); “Tonight Show” host Johnny Carson attending one of Mary’s disastrous parties (noon); “Chuckles Bites the Dust,” (4 p.m.) and the series’ final episode (4:30 p.m.).

The series’ most famous episode, “Chuckles Bites the Dust,” where the WJM kiddie-show host is killed by a rogue elephant, airs at 4 p.m. David Lloyd won an Emmy for outstanding writing in a comedy series for this episode from the 1975-76 season.
