All weekend, the Decades Channel was showing these TV shows, which aired from '62 to '65. I watched 7 or 8 of them. They were grittier and more noirish than his films, and featured many established and upcoming film actors, Very interesting.

What do you mean by this?
I'm the Donald Trump of these boards. I'm being sarcastic. I'm trying to get her in the most relaxed position.

HARLOW: THE BLONDE BOMBSHELL(1993) - shown here on TCM 8-7-2016
Sharon Stone hosted this documentary and WOW!.. this is the kind of hosting TCM could use for it's movies. Not an awkward moment throughout her presentation. She was so at ease and I felt she was standing next to me as she was talking.
Alas.. this was 23 years ago. I wonder if Ms. Stone would consider the position today.
She was so at ease that she showed her ******.

midnight08--re your post of 8/11/2016, 7:56 p.m., E.S.T. the last two sentences:
TCM and Tiffany took your suggestion. She sat down during the intro to "The Wrong Box" (1966)--she still looked uncomfortable. But at least the "vocal fry" quality to her voice is lessening.
Maybe she should try lying on her back.

Quincy Jones, and Peggy Lipton from The Mod Squad?
Yes. Yours.

Priscilla Lane
ROARING TWENTIES

"Lust for Life"??
Yes

Just wanna say here that, no, I've never really thought Ava looked all that much like Hedy, as Hedy's features were much more "delicate" than Ava's, and that Hedy's "delicate features" always reminded me much more of Vivien Leigh's "delicate features" when she was young.
(...but ANYBODY who calls AVA'S features "harsh", and ESPECIALLY when she was young, might need a guide dog and a freakin' white-tipped CANE, if'n ya ask ME!!!) LOL
In the land of the blind, Ava is not queen.

DGF,
Those are the three.
Your thread.
This well-known music producer had a girlfriend, later his wife, who was a co-star on a groundbreaking '60s TV series. His name? Her name? TV series?

In the '50s, I couldn't wait to receive my pictorial news magazine every week.

...is correct

I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt that she'll improve but if in the off chance I happen to be watching TCM on Saturdays, I find myself using the bathroom, making a snack, doing a load of laundry, etc during her intros. I think what annoys me about her is that she presents as if she's having to give a speech to the class. There are a lot of long pauses. Her tone of voice and pacing of her intro is not conversational. It sounds too formal and stiff.
I agree with what was said about Feinstein, I don't like how he's smiling while talking (it seems disingenuous or maybe even cheesy) and he stands there awkwardly with his arms down to his sides.
I wish Annette O'Toole and Michael McKean would come back.
..so her intros enable you to get other things done. That's a positive right there.

As the saying goes "beauty is in the eye of the beholder".
No, I don't find Ava Gardiher attractive. Hedy Lamarr was extremely attractive.
..as long as I am the beholder.

In the original TV show from the 70's, who were the first 3 actresses playing "Charlie's Angels"?
Kate Jackson, Farrah Fawcett and Jaclyn Smith

Really? Her face is harsh? This is NOT a beautiful woman?
For a guy, sexy is a lot more important than beautiful.

Pop might get a little annoyed with you, though, if you were still a little too physically clingy at age 19.
If pop was Frank Sinatra, there could be a mafia hit in store for me.

Your Mom must have been the talk of the neighbourhood.
If Ava were my mom. I'd be thrilled to be a mama's boy.

I saw a bit of him doing an intro as I put a movie on tape this evening, and he definitely had a Pee-Wee Herman by way of robot vibe going.
There is a continual theme on these boards of the hosts seeming robotic or acting like robots. Why don't they just save some money and use a real robot?

I was just rethinking what I wrote and thought maybe I was a little harsh. Maybe she needs some training. Her promo is lackluster and uses the word "excited" too many times. Did she write her own promo or did someone write it for her? Whatever the case someone should have picked up on her choice of wording and rephrased it. Don't the TCM people do a "rush"?
In all fairness I also find Michael Feinstein bland and robotic. He stands there doing the intros with this frozen smile on his face
and mouths the words of the intro. His arms stand at his side like he doesn't know what to do with them. I want to like him but there's something missing there.
I don't understand why these hosts don't sit down on one of the chairs or sofa on the set. Why not make those props useful?
I believe it would be more visually enhancing if the host was sitting comfortably in one of the chairs while giving their take on the movie . It would look more natural than standing uncomfortably in front of the set.
If they were sitting down, they'd have to show them below the waist, and people might not like what they see.

Barbara Stanwyck was in "EAST SIDE, WEST SIDE" directed by Mervyn LeRoy.

The Basehart episode was one of the ones I saw. The best one I saw was probably the one with John Gavin and Diana Dors where he is an MD sucked in by a fortune-seeking Dors. A little reminiscent of NORA PRENTISS.
