Where's the love for Setsuko Hara? TCM introduced me to Hara, and Yasujiro Ozu, a number of years ago and now I'll watch anything thing with Hara, or directed by Ozu. Really excited for Setsuko Hara day.

What a nasty, condescending response. And completely unnecessary. Any number of people care , including me.

I notice that upcoming showings are not included anymore with a title's listing. Another small but useful feature eliminated.

Did a quick search of recent topics but didn't find anything about a new season of The Essentials. They usually start after 31 Days of Oscar, but since the 31 Days runs through the beginning of May this year, who knows? Anybody have news or baseless speculation? Or are The Essentials a Covid casualty this year?

I posted this a few days ago under "Information Please" but didn't get any responses, so I'll try here. There's a short Chaplin video (less than 2 minutes) that runs from time to time, under the heading of TCM Original Productions. The title seems to be "Charlie Chaplin Director Artist Master". I'm pretty good at tracking things down but I can't seem to find it anywhere. Anybody have a clue, or a link, where this can be found? Thanks all.

You should receive the schedule twice a month - on the 1st and the 15th. Not sure why they send out the schedule a second time. But the mid-month email has highlights from the latter half of the month that didn't show up in the earlier email.

I have both of your Feeds bookmarked, MovieCollectorOH. At the moment, I prefer the Old Feed as it still includes Daytime and Evening themes.

My goodness. So I guess you missed the points I was trying to make. Never mind.

It's not "any change". It's about taking away more than 1 month on the upcoming schedule. It's about removing any note of daytime or evening themes. It's about formatting the whole schedule to be read on a tiny screen. It's about the page developers saying "drop dead" to anybody who still prefers viewing anything on a laptop or desktop. It's about the attitude that viewers will accept anything, no matter how bad, poorly designed, or (almost) universally deplored. Change is inevitable. Bad changes shouldn't be.

Here we are a week into December, and I still can't see ahead into January (other than the At-a-Glance guide, which only shows daytime themes, not titles [and that's only until Jan, 12]). Has TCM given up completely on providing a useful guide? On a related topic, I notice that your (MovieCollectorOH) alternate schedule is updated through 2/1. Thank you so much for this. Where are you drawing your additional month of programming?

There isn't one this month. This is the only part of the Now Playing email that isn't also available on the main site. I like it. This month I'm missing it. I can print it out on 2 pages and use it even if I'm not near a computer. I hope this is just for this month because of 31 Days of Oscar.

Actually, you can search by studio. Except the one Major they leave off of the search criteria (radio buttons) is Columbia.

Three Smart Girls with Deanna Durbin is on June 7th. That's a Universal film.

At least a couple of the previous courses occurred over two months. Based on how much territory is left uncovered by this course, they certainly could have used 2 months this time around. It also occurs to me that it might have useful to organize the weeks by studio, rather than decade.
