Sorry! You could probably do a Google search for TCM schedule.

Primetime January 6 Whodunit Wednesdays? I assume this is a recurring theme every Wednesday this month. The Honey Pot (Rex Harrison, Susan Heyward) (United Artists, 1967) The Last of Sheila (Richard Benjamin, James Coburn) (Warner Bros., 1973) Death on the Nile (Peter Ustinov, Mia Farrow) (Paramount, 1978) Evil Under the Sun (Peter Ustinov, James Mason) (Universal, 1982) Deathtrap (Michael Caine, Christopher Reeve) (Warner Bros., 1982) Manhattan Murder Mystery (Woody Allen, Diane Keaton) (Tri-Star, 1993)

January 6 Daytime Freddie Bartholomew Anna Karenina (Greta Garbo, Frederic March) (MGM, 1935) David Copperfield (Freddie Bartholomew, W.C. Fields) (MGM, 1935) The Devil is a Sissy (Freddie Bartholomew, Jackie Cooper) (MGM, 1936) Little Lord Fauntleroy (Freddie Bartholomew, C.

January 5 The Studio System Possibly this is a theme for every Tuesday in January? I'm too lazy to look ahead. Looks like they're devoting a block of time to a single Hollywood studio. I certainly hope in future installments there will be time blocks set aside for Paramount, Universal and 20th Century Fox, but we'll see. Anyway, for this particular day: Daytime COLUMBIA I don't guess I need to say "Columbia" after each film below, so I wont': Mr. Deeds Goes to Town (Gary Cooper, Jean Arthur) (1936) His Girl Friday (Cary Grant, Rosalind Russell) (1940) Gilda (Rita Hayworth, Glenn Ford) (1946) It Should Happen to You (Judy Holliday, Jack Lemmon) (1953) The Bridge on the River Kwai (William Holden, Alec Guiness) (1957) Primetime WARNER BROS. The Adventures of Robin Hood (Errol Flynn, Olivia De Havilland) (1938) Dark Victory (Bette Davis, George Brent) (1939) The Maltese Falcon (Humphrey Bogart, Mary Astor) (1941) The Sea Wolf (Edward G. Robinson, John Garfield) (1941) White Heat (James Cagney, Edmond O'Brien) (1949)

Sorry, folks. It's taking some time for my posts to materialize recently, and I end up posting twice because I think something went wrong with the first attempt.

I've seen it, but I guess I forgot that part. Maybe someone hit me with an oar!

I've seen it, but I guess I forgot that part.

While I now recall reading that, it didn't stick in my long-term memory.

January 4 primetime, films produced by Alexander Korda. There's a 2019 documentary called Churchill & the Movie Mogul airing twice during the night. I presume Korda is the movie mogul. These are all British films, but I'm going to list the American distributors below, since that's typically what I look for. Also, the years of their American releases. I can't find any information on imdb about an American release for Wedding Rehearsal. Maybe it didn't get one. So, I'm just listing its UK info. The Private Life of Henry VIII (Charles Laughton, Robert Donat) (Dist. in the US by United Artists, 1933) Wedding Rehearsal (Roland Young, George Grossmith) (Ideal Films, UK, 1933) The Scarlet Pimpernel (Leslie Howard, Merle Oberon) (Dist. in the US by United Artists, 1935) The Conquest of the Air (Frederick Culley, Laurence Olivier) (Dist. in the US by United Artists, 1940) The Lion Has Wings (Merle Oberon, Ralph Richardson) (Dist. in the US by United Artists, 1940) That Hamilton Woman (Vivien Leigh, Laurence Olivier) (Dist. in the US by United Artists, 1941)

I left out a movie in the bachelor theme run, it appears. Going to edit above.

Sorry if I misunderstood. I saw JamesJazzGuitar ask MCOH if he was going to fill in future themes later, which made me automatically assume he(?)'d filled in the ones already. I won't second-guess any more of them if they're official TCM source (though not easily accessible to the public, apparently). '

Should have listed the French film The Red Balloon (1956) among the previous day's TCM Imports, I guess. It's airing at 5:15 am ET. Now on to the daytime movies for January 4. MCOH calls the theme "The Bachelor Life", and they do appear to all revolve around committed bachelors (these being romantic comedies, who wants to take odds on how many of these bachelors are married or engaged by film's end?). A couple of them are more about bachelorettes or spinsters, but okay. No More Ladies (Joan Crawford, Robert Montgomery) (MGM, 1935) Bachelor Mother (Ginger Rogers, David Niven) (RKO, 1939) The Bachelor & the Bobby-Soxer (Cary Grant, Myrna Loy) (RKO, 1947) Every Girl Should Be Married (Cary Grant, Betsy Drake) (RKO, 1948) The Tender Trap (Frank Sinatra, Debbie Reynolds) (MGM, 1955) Boys' Night Out (Kim Novak, James Garner) (MGM, 1962) Honeymoon Hotel (Robert Goulet, Nancy Kwan) (MGM, 1964) Dear Heart (Glenn Ford, Geraldine Page) (Warner Bros., 1964)

I should probably say while most people on here seem to have quickly embraced the new schedule and its starting of a new day with the passing of the midnight hour, I'm still starting my listing of new "days" around here the old school way, with the ending of the night-time theme, which is usually around 6 am ET. Just in case people think I don't know when a day starts. I am hesitant to second-guess MCOH, whose knowledge is clearly vast, when he lists the primetime theme for January 3 as "Man Overboard", but since I don't remember anyone going overboard in I Love You Again, my guess for the theme is amnesia romances. I Love You Again (William Powell, Myrna Loy) (MGM, 1940) Overboard (Goldie Hawn, Kurt Russell) (MGM, 1987) Looks like the first movie for the Silent Sunday night lineup has yet to be announced, but second will be The Smiling Madame de Beudet, a French film from 1923 Then, it's TCM imports. It's a Pedro Almodovar double feature: Pepi, Luci, Bom and Other Girls Like Mom (1985) and Labyrinth of Passion (1982),

January 3 Daytime We begin with two movies that might be linked by the theme of obsessive love: The Blue Angel (Marlene Dietrich, Emil Jannings) (Paramount, 1930) The Private Lives of Elizabeth & Essex (Bette Davis, Errol Flynn,) (Warner Bros., 1939) Then a re-run of last night's Noir Alley. I believe Sunday daytime programming has traditionally not required any connecting theme, and I don't think there is any. Lydia (Merle Oberson, Joseph Cotten) (United Artists, 1941) Friendly Persuasion (Gary Cooper, Dorothy McGuire) (Allied Artists, 1956) The Miracle Worker (Anne Bancroft, Patty Duke) (United Artists, 1962) A Little Romance (Laurence Olivier, Diane Lane) (Orion, 1979)

MCOH says the primetime theme for January 2 is "Flower Power". It's a bit of a tenuous connection, but they've linked a rerun of a Brad Bird Essential with a Hitchcock classic because both films feature flowers. City Lights (Charles Chaplin, Virginia Cherrill) (United Artists, 1931) Vertigo (James Stewart, Kim Novak) (Paramount, 1958) Then, it's time for Noir Alley: The Strange Affair of Uncle Harry (George Sanders, Geraldine Fitzgerald) (Universal, 1945) The overnight movies are connected by having the word "Winter" in their titles: If Winter Comes (Walter Pidgeon, Deborah Kerr) (MGM, 1947) Winter Meeting (Bette Davis, Janis Page) (Warner Bros., 1948)

January 2 daytime is the usual Saturday hodgepodge. I'm not sure if there is a theme. There are several shorts, Anyway, here are all the features being shown. Treasure Island (Wallace Beery, Jackie Cooper) (MGM, 1934) Bulldog Drummond Comes Back (John Barrymore, John Howard) (Paramount, 1937) The Girl from Mexico (Lupe Velez, Donald Woods) (RKO, 1937) Reunion in France (Joan Crawford, John Wayne) (MGM, 1942) The Story of G.I. Joe (Burgess Meredith, Robert Mitchum) (United Artists, 1945) Lawrence of Arabia (Peter O'Toole, Omar Sharif) (Columbia, 1962)

From Wikipedia: Fiberglass (American English), or fibreglass (Commonwealth English) is a common type of fiber-reinforced plastic using glass fiber. The fibers may be randomly arranged, flattened into a sheet (called a chopped strand mat), or woven into a fabric. and A suitable resin for combining the fiberglass with a plastic to produce a composite material was developed in 1936 by du Pont.

There's a whole thread about Connery still on p.1.

I was struggling to figure out the primetime theme for New Year's Day, until I realized MCOH was inserting his guess. And yes indeed, these movies are all about "fresh starts", moving to a new locale or otherwise starting over. It's a Gift (W.C. Fields, Kathleen Howard) (Universal, 1934) Please Don't Eat the Daisies (Doris Day, David Niven) (MGM, 1960) The Sundowners (Deborah Kerr, Robert Mitchum) (Warner Bros., 1960) The Big Chill (Tom Berenger, Glenn Close) (Columbia, 1983) Murphy's Romance (Sally Field, James Garner) (Columbia, 1985)

Daytime New Year's Day appears to be all screwball comedies: Twentieth Century (John Barrymore, Carole Lombard) (Columbia, 1934) A Night at the Opera (The Marx Brothers) (MGM, 1935) The Awful Truth (Cary Grant, Irene Dunn) (Columbia, 1937) Born Yesterday (Judy Holliday, William Holden) (Columbia, 1950) Lover Come Back (Doris Day, Tony Randall) (Universal, 1961) The Fortune Cookie (Jack Lemmon, Walter Matthau) (United Artists, 1966) The Producers (Zero Mostel, Gene Wilder) (Embassy, 1967)

One of my favorite pastimes has been to peruse a new month's schedule well in advance. I feared that was gone forever, so thanks MCOH for making it possible!

I don't know that you can get there from here. There doesn't seem to be a schedule option from the message boards. I open a new window and go to tcm.com and then click on the schedule drop down menu at the top of that page.

Forgot about that one. I also like Bugs Bunny as Teddy Roosevelt. "Carry a BEEEEGGGG stick!"

Everything I have! No, no, wait, you're doing it to me again! (I'm pretty naive)

That probably happens too!
