So far, NO response. Not even an acknowledgement that they would look into it. NOTHING. Robbie

I have been getting a few PM sets from Amazon over the past year, but not THE UNTOUCHABLES yet, but may have to do that! I have seen that show, but only a LONG time ago, as it was not syndicated in my area most of the time. Both series are very cool, though! I've been digging HIGHWAY PATROL on THIS-TV, a very hard-hitting police drama from the 50's with noir mood and stylings. As well as PETER GUNN and MIKE HAMMER on Retro-TV. All great stuff! Mark, Yeah, I've been recording Highway Patrol on THIS and Peter Gunn, Mike Hammer, and Kraft Suspense Theater (titled Crisis for syndication) on RetroTV. We lost RetroTV to MeTV, so I will be without the last three, but fortunately I had recorded most of those anyway. Besides, Highway Patrol is my favorite of these, and we still have THIS. In losing RetroTV, we lost Ironside, but we gained Perry Mason on MeTV, so we still have some Raymond Burr, and I like Perry Mason better anyway. I've just started watching The Untouchables on MeTV this month, but eventually I may decide it beats out Highway Patrol as I see more episodes. For now, I still like Highway Patrol better. Broderick Crawford is great as no-nonsense Dan Mathews. Robbie

Something interesting from the Wikipedia page on Brennan, he was a conservative who had to play a Democrat insulting a Republican once: >Brennan was politically conservative. In 1963 and 1964, Brennan joined fellow actors William Lundigan, Chill Wills, and Efrem Zimbalist, Jr., in making appearances on behalf of U.S. Senator Barry M. Goldwater, the Republican nominee in the campaign against U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson.[5] Brennan thereafter supported American Independent Party candidate (and former governor of Alabama) George C. Wallace, Jr., over GOP nominee and former Vice President Richard M. Nixon in the 1968 presidential campaign because he felt Nixon was too liberal. He also supported Ronald W. Reagan for governor of California in 1966. > >In one of his films, The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band (1968), Brennan portrayed a Democratic supporter of U.S. President Grover Cleveland. Buddy Ebsen, who played Brennan's son in the film, was depicted as a supporter of Cleveland's 1888 rival, Benjamin Harrison. In the comedy film, Brennan disparaged Ebsen's character as "never too bright for he was a gol-dern Republican". Ironically, both Brennan and Ebsen were outspoken Hollywood Republicans. There is a fairly good probability, although I will not say absolute, that someone who supported George Wallace over Nixon, because "Nixon was too liberal," had racist attitudes. It's disappointing, but I still like him in the roles he played. I try to keep an actors' personal views separate from their acting roles, unless the actor begins using their acting fame to promote their personal agenda on a regular basis.

Looking forward to watching it (I had to record it). It sounds like it's going to be good. Brandon De Wilde was a great actor. I've liked everything I've seen him in, from The Member of the Wedding to Hud. It's too bad his life was cut short.

That's where I first saw him. > > Leander Pomfret was a teacher, not the principal, and in fact his character wound up at the same junior college where the students graduated to. > > I interviewed William Schallert, to my mind the quintessential character actor, in 2002 when he appeared in a play in New Jersey, where I was working at the time. We talked for about 90 minutes -- a class act all the way. (Incidentally, his father, Edwin Schallert, was a longtime drama and film writer for the Los Angeles Times.) Bill still works regularly, though he'll turn 89 this July. I caught a bit of Dobie Gillis on the MeTV network earlier this morning. Then I saw William Schallert on The Patty Duke Show later today on the THIS network. Then I saw William Schallert as a piano player on an episode of Lawman on the Encore Westerns channel today. This is all after seeing him in Them! on TCM today. Seems I'm catching him on TV all over today. Not surprising, with all the TV work he's done. I checked and he had a guest spot on Medium just last year, so he's still working. Not too long ago I saw an episode of Roseanne where in the closing credits, they did a spoof of the Patty Duke Show theme song about the two actresses who played Becky, singing the theme song as "Still they're Beckys, identical Beckys" and suddenly they cut to John Goodman as Dan Conner standing next to William Schallert. It was great of Schallert to do a guest spot in the closing theme music like that. He seems to be a very easygoing, agreeable actor. I believe this was when Lecy Goransen had returned to the show after the substitution of Sarah Chalke. Interestingly, it was one of the few replacements in TV in which I liked the replacement better--Sarah Chalke brought an energy and vitality and assertiveness to the role that I really liked, even though she played the character of Becky very differently. The only other TV replacement I can remember liking better offhand was Kasey Rogers replacing Irene Vernon on Bewitched.

I'm watching Them! now and I just saw another TV star, William Schallert! It looked like he was playing an orderly or whatever they called the people who came in an ambulance in those days. "Paramedic" wasn't invented until Emergency!, was it? :-) I never recognized Schallert before in this film--watching The Patty Duke Show, which I had never seen before, on the THIS network for the past year must have made me more alert for Schallert. Previously I had known him mostly for guest spots on some of my favorite TV shows like Gunsmoke, Star Trek, and The Andy Griffith Show. Robbie

TCM is airing some interesting movies today, for me at least. It's quite a variety of movies: One Million Years, B.C. (1966) at 6 a.m. OK, this one I don't like very much, but it has one redeeming quality--Raquel Welch. :-) Them! (1954) at 8 a.m. When I was a kid I originally wanted to see this movie because two of my favorite TV western stars, James Arness and Fess Parker, were both in it. One thing I really wanted to know, because both men stood head and shoulders above most of their costars on their TV shows, was who was taller. This was back in the days when you couldn't google or wiki the information. (There was an Internet, or at least its precursor, depending on what name you want to use, but mostly only government and university employees had access.) When Marshall Dillon finally interrogates Daniel Boone (who has been locked up as being loony for reporting the giant ants), and they stand up talking to each other, it was clear Marshall Dillon was the winner. James Whitmore was excellent in this movie, and I was impressed by how much more intelligently the movie played out than the average giant monster movie. The Phenix Story (1955) at 10 a.m. I haven't seen this one, but it looks like an interesting crime movie with the kind of battling corruption theme that I always like. I'm looking forward to it as it has Richard Kiley in it, who gave great performances in guest star roles for some of my favorite TV westerns, science fiction, mysteries, and crime dramas. He was great in The Thorn Birds, probably my favorite TV miniseries of all. I haven't seen all of Kiley's work, but every role I have seen him in, he has been excellent. I even enjoyed his narration of many nature specials on TV, including Discovery Channel's Wolves at Our Door as well as many National Geographic specials. Good-bye, My Lady (1956) at noon. Three terrific actors (overlooking the controversial personal views of Brennan being recently discussed): Walter Brennan, Brandon De Wilde, and Sidney Poitier. As a kid, I knew Brennan best from the TV series The Real McCoys, a show which I did not actually like too much, then discovered him in the much better TV series The Guns of Will Sonnett. I had also seen him in several Disney films and several TV movie westerns. It wasn't until TCM that I discovered the rich body of work he had done earlier in his career. April in Paris (1952) at 2 p.m. An interesting combination of Doris Day and Ray Bolger. I haven't seen this one before, but I am looking forward to seeing how two movie stars I like very much perform in this film. Jimmy Dorsey and His Orchestra (1938) at 3:46 p.m. It's good to see some shorts being listed again in the schedule! I loved the music of both Dorsey brothers--Jimmy was not as well known as his brother, but he had some great hits too. "Tangerine" is running through my mind right now as I write this. Dear Heart (1964) at 4 p.m. I missed this one the last time it aired, so I want see to see it to see what all the discussion was about from last time. I'm looking forward to seeing what the role of one of my favorite actresses, Angela Lansbury, is in this film. I like Glenn Ford a lot too, although my favorite roles for him so far have been mostly westerns, but also The Courtship of Eddie's Father. Pretty Baby (1950) at 6 p.m. I haven't seen this one before either, but the premise looks interesting, even if Maltin has given it a not-so-great review, I still want to see it. Dennis Morgan and Betsy Drake have given good performances in most of the movies I've seen them in, and since Leave It to Beaver star Barbara Billingsley is in it, again, I have to watch! Many of these movies have TV actors in them, which is why I find today's lineup so interesting. As I've said before, I am an anomaly in these message boards, as I am primarily a TV fan who liked old movies on an occasional basis, but only began developing a serious interest in movies because of TCM. That's why I rarely contribute anything to the forums, since my knowledge about movies is very small compared to most of the forum members. My knowledge of old TV is much better. But today's lineup looked so interesting to me, I decided to post about it! Happy viewing, Robbie

> {quote:title=markbeckuaf wrote:}{quote} > I agree today rocked too, I didn't get to see as much though! I caught a little of the zany Carney and Brown flick, GIRL RUSH. Though they could be considered RKO's "poor man's A&C", I like their films, actually. I always thought Wally Brown looked like Goober from "The Andy Griffith Show". I will have to catch NO GREATER GLORY (not seen ever, and looking forward to!), and one of my all-time faves featuring my man man (George Raft) and that sexy dame (Claire Trevor), JOHNNY ANGEL, at a later time. TCM rocks for airing them! Mark, No Greater Glory is a very interesting film. It seems very unique--it's hard for me to think of another film similar to it. I really enjoyed watching Barbara Stanwyck in The Gay Sisters. She was in my favorite style for her, which she also had in Christmas in Connecticut -- longer hair in back, bangs in front, and wearing a fur coat. Love seeing her wearing a fur coat! (I pretend it's faux fur.) By the way, we got a new classic TV station at the beginning of April that is a free over-the-air digital subchannel like THIS and RetroTV, called MeTV. Like THIS, it shows TV shows with the full closing credits and fewer commercial interruptions than many cable channels. Anyway, I have been watching Perry Mason and The Untouchables on MeTV. I was very familiar with Mason and had heard of The Untouchables. Neither show was shown in syndication in my hometown when I was growing up, so I had never seen any episodes of either show, even though I had heard of them, but I did see some of the Perry Mason TV movies when they originally aired, although I know these were not as good as the original TV series. Anyway, since you like film noir--have you ever seen The Untouchables? It's got a very noir-ish aspect to it. I really like it. Lots of "roughing up" of gangsters--by their bosses and sometimes by Elliott Ness himself. One guy that's being arrested tells Ness he's that even though he'll be in prison by the time Capone gets out, he'll enjoy hearing from prison that Capone finished Ness off. Ness punches the guy square in the face. Lots of bullets flying all over the place too. I really like it, although I hear it was very controversial because of the violence when it first aired.

> {quote:title=redriver wrote:}{quote} > The most adorable, if not the best, show ever on TV.

But this cast, especially the understated George Reeves, goes to town with the light material. There has never been a show I've enjoyed more. Not just a couple of bad guys...if I remember correctly, a bad guy and a bad woman! One of them tries to go down, and ends up pulling both of them down to their deaths! It was practically murder, since Superman knew that's what would probably happen. I think he did promise to bring them food, but they probably would have frozen to death anyway if they hadn't tried to get down. I don't think even the heavy clothing they had would have protected them from the cold at the top of a mountain like that. I like the way George Reeves played Clark Kent as being smart and not really goofy the way Kent is often portrayed.

The classic TV network MeTV became available in our area at the beginning of April, and they air two detectives series I am realling enjoying: Perry Mason and The Untouchables. The Untouchables has a great noir-ish feel to it that I really like. I have never seen either of these series until now, although I have seen some of the Perry Mason TV movies. I am recording them to DVD to add to my growing DVD collection of detective shows and movies. I already have The Saint, The Falcon, Torchy Blane, and The Crime Doctor movies series recorded to DVD from when TCM aired them a few years ago--at least, all the ones TCM has shown. Crime and mysteries are two of my favorite genres.

> {quote:title=TikiSoo wrote:}{quote} > But I still dislike Boyer. He seemed to be emulating Chavalier with HIS pouty lip! I love GASLIGHT but just want Ingrid to swing a candleabra at his head whenever he says "Poowla". The payoff at the end of that film makes it worth enduring. There is a funny episode of I Love Lucy in which Lucy is telling the actual Charles Boyer, who is pretending to be an unknown actor, that he is not acting enough like Charles Boyer! She tells him he needs to growl and talk through his teeth more. It was very funny because that is often what I think of when I think of both Chevalier and Boyer. And there was an episode where Ricky was going to do a French Revue and Lucy, Fred, Ethel, Ricky, and a French tutor all come into the living room from different angles wearing tilted straw hats and growling, "Every little breeze seems to whisper Louise!" Lucy says something like, "We seem to be overstocked on Maurice Chevaliers." Funny stuff...

I never liked Chevalier much either. Yet TCM sure seems to play movies with him, Leslie Caron, and Gene Kelly a lot, especially during the Robert Osborne commentary slots, which led me to wonder if these were his favorite actors. At one time I thought TCM was the Leslie Caron Network...

I really enjoyed the two Sherlock Holmes films. Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce were my favorite Homes/Watson duo. I also enjoyed seeing No Greater Glory again this morning. I saw it a few years ago on TCM and it was good to see it again. Watching The Gay Sisters with Barbara Stanwyck right now. Looking forward to Johnny Angel this evening.

> {quote:title=AT_in_LA wrote:}{quote} > V, good luck on specific complaints receiving specific acknowledgement. Look at what they've done to the schedule - blown it all up with the EXPAND ALL. People asked for expanded synopsis, but instead they get Leonard Maltin's paragraphs of blathering PLUS inches of ad space for each and every DVD. That used to be a convenient Shopping Icon - now it consumes more and more screen space! But when the developers proposed Expand All, it was understood this would be doing exactly what it has done--expanding all the items in the schedule. At least, I understood this would happen. They were going to make it so that all items would be expanded instead of just one--and since one expanded item showed the synopsis, Leonard Maltin review, and ad, it was understood that would now be shown for all items if "Expand All" were implemented. At least, it's what I expected, even if it does mean more scrolling. Yes, I would prefer the schedule the way it was in the old days, with less scrolling, but Expand All with more scrolling is better than having only one item expanded. But setting that aside, I am complaining about actual scheduled items not showing up in the online schedule. This is not a complaint about style or format, but about actual missing content, and yet no response at all. Renee, are you out there?

Thanks TCM! They definitely looked good. I knew the special effects would be primitive, but I don't care. I'm more interested in a good story. It is fun to see the ship wobbling up and down as if (and probably is) suspended from a string... Today's CGI's special effects are so sophisticated that, while impressive, I often can't tell what is happening on the screen--it's just a big blur of action, I guess I am one of those who cannot assimilate the data quickly enough--so I love older science fiction where I can at least see what is going on.

Especially, Flash Gordon, which was created as direct competition for Buck Rogers. Hmmm, I used to hear Gene Roddenberry talk about it as if he invented the idea of the transporter for Star Trek. He said the starship would be too big to land on the planet so they "invented" the concept of the transporter. Well, well, well...

I just checked DirecTV's on-screen schedule and both episodes are on that one. Since the 9:30 movie is 87 minutes and will be done by 11:00 and the next movie doesn't start until noon, that's gotta be right. I didn't look for next week, but it's probably the same thing. I was aware that the problem is only in the TCM online schedule. And I already know that the serial shows up in the schedule of other TV listing services for the next two weeks, including Zap2It, IMDB, and TitanTV. I am trying to get TCM to fix the problem in their own online schedule. This is supposed to be the thread for that, isn't it? This is not a style complaint. This is a complaint that valid, significant content that is listed in the printed guide, Now Playing, is not being included in the TCM online schedule. These are not 5-minute shorts used for filler at the end of a movie; these are major items that are scheduled to begin on the hour and half-hour. Renee, why has there been no acknowledgement to my complaint as to whether the developers agree it is a problem and are going to look into it? Robbie

Some items listed in TCM's printed guide, Now Playing, are not showing up in the online schedule. For example, Now Playing shows Markheim from 1956 starring Ray Milland airing at 5:30 a.m. on the morning of Wednesday, April 20. This did not appear in the online schedule, even though it is airing on TCM as I write this. Starting Saturday, April 23, Now Playing shows the serial Buck Rogers starting at 11 a.m., with Chapter One, Tomorrow's World, airing at 11 a.m. and Chapter Two, Tragedy on Saturn, airing at 11:30 a.m. Neither of these appears in the TCM online schedule. Two more Buck Rogers series are listed in Now Playing for Saturday, April 30, starting at 11 a.m. and these do not appear in the online schedule either. These items are not 5-minute shorts used as filler at the end of a movie. These are significant shows that have been scheduled to start on the hour or on the half-hour. If these items are significant enough to appear in Now Playing, especially considering one is part of the Ray Milland Star of the Month tribute, and the other is the introduction of a new weekly Saturday morning serial, they should appear in the online schedule. Robbie

> {quote:title=PrinceSaliano wrote:}{quote} > What happened to the serials BUCK ROGERS and ACE DRUMMOND??? I don't know about Ace Drummond, but as I said in my original post, I believe Buck Rogers is still going to air, it's just missing in the online schedule, probably due to some problem related to the schedule web site overhaul. If you look at the schedule for Saturday, April 23, you will see that Phantom Lady starts at 9:30 a.m. and its running time is 87 minutes. That means it will end at 10:57 a.m. This leaves a gap of over an hour before Tarzan Finds a Son starts at noon. According to Now Playing, Buck Rogers is supposed to air from 11 a.m. to noon, so I expect it is still going to air and the online schedule is just not showing it. Robbie

I haven't seen a thread about this week's movies from markbeckuaf yet, although maybe I have missed it, but there's lots of good ones this week. I can't do as thorough or as accurate a job as he does, but TCM had lots of great crime movies on Monday, lots of good ones on today (Tuesday, April 19), including Midnight Court (1937) and Forty Naughty Girls (1938) and Exclusive Story (1937). A tribute to Harold Lloyd in the a.m. on Wednesday, April 20. markbeckuaf should love that! And lots of good murder mysteries in the afternoon on Wednesday: Footsteps in the Dark (1941) with Errol Flynn, Murder at the Gallop (1963) with Margaret Rutherford, and Song of the Thin Man (1947). Ever since 31 Days of Oscar ended, it seems TCM has been loading up the daytime schedules with lots of the kind of "smaller" movies I love. Wish they'd throw in a day or two of epics so I can take a break and my DVR won't melt down. :-) Robbie

It's been soooo accurate lately. I just can't imagine...I just can't guess... Yeah, I already saw the listings on Zap2It and TitanTV and IMDB, but it could be that TCM has dropped Buck Rogers and the listings services don't have the update from TCM yet, just as there is no way for TCM to retroactively correct the hardcopies of Now Playing that have already gone out. However, I think it's more likely that the TCM online schedule isn't accurate. I don't know exactly why I would think that... I have my May issue of Now Playing, and it lists: Sat. May 7: 11 a.m. The Phantom Plane (Chapter 5) 11:30 a.m. The Unknown Command (Chapter 6) Sat. May 14: 11 a.m. Primitive Urge (Chapter 7) 11:30 a.m. Revolt of the Zuggs (Chapter 8) Sat.

Now I saw TCM's free screening here in NYC of "THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE" with Robert Osborne ( :x ) interviewing the great ANGELA LANSBURY. I took my new iPOD Touch with me and videotaped the interview. Though the recording didn't come out as perfectly I wanted it to, I found it a great thrill just to see this living legend in person as herself (not as Auntie Mame or from Sweeney Todd) and to hear of her experience making a movie that seems to have such a prescient sense of what's going on in today's wacky political world. CineMaven, I am so envious! Angela Lansbury is one of my favorite actresses, whether as Mame or Mrs. Lovett or Jessica Fletcher or Miss Price or Rose Hovick or Countess Aurelia or Madame Arcati or Miss Marple or Mrs. Potts or etc., etc... When you say "(not as Auntie Mame or from Sweeney Todd)"... does this mean in addition to having seen her in the recent screening, you have actually seen her in the original Broadway productions of Mame and Sweeney Todd as well? Wow, what a thrill that must have been! It's things like this that make me wish I lived in NYC. You are so fortunate to be where all the action is! I have the soundtrack of almost every Broadway production she's ever done. I've never seen her on Broadway, but I did get to see her and Bea Arthur perform "Bosom Buddies" from Mame during one of the Tony Awards on TV many years ago, which is what got me started following her Broadway career in addition to having already been following her film and TV careers. And to see Robert Osborne again to boot! And all for free! I know TCM aired an event with Luise Rainer from last year's Film Festival. I wonder if they will air more of these events for those of us unable to travel. I sure wish I could meet Angela Lansbury sometime. Robbie
