Five Family-Friendly Binge-Watching Options For Labor Day Weekend [VIDEO]

If you’re not on vacation this weekend, or don’t have home improvement plans that are taking up your time, or other fun commitments (the last two are a large part of my home life at the moment, as we are painting our house’s exterior around the schedule for PAX West), and if the weather is just too hot to be outdoors (or too smoky), maybe you’re thinking of taking up USA Today‘s idea of binge-watching some TV.
