To TCM - Many of your watchers are elderly and living on fixed incomes. Your
Your channel has been switched to an “Entertainment Package” costing $10/monthmore(not including taxes and your recapable tire :-). It occurred to me that
an analogy could be drawn between “the Shakers” and what happened
to them and what will happen to your base of devotees with what Comcast
did to watchers. So ? You want to hold on to your watchers ?? Suggest to
them that seniors over a certain age should get TCM as part of Xfinity’s
Basic cable package again or end up like “the Shaker” philosophy. It’s your
choice. What are you going to do about it TCM ???nothing! they failed to show Hot Spell for me.

One of the funniest and best gags from The Honeymooners. I once saw a tee shirt in a store window that had
a picture of Norton with the quote If pizzas were manhole covers, the sewer would be a paradise. I wish I
had bought it.
the sewers would be full of beer ****.

a far more constructive Robert Wise remake for Spielberg to tackle would be The Haunting.

both decades suck so I answered the question.

who wants to see a remake of a musical by a guy to stupid to stick to aliens?
I predict no matter how lame it will be it won't be as bad as Gypsy.
-
the 80s and 90s are more or less interchangeable as the fare from both decades stink.
the 2000s same thing.

On Svengoolie tomorrow, December 14, 2019: The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll (1960)
I don't think I know this film. It's a Hammer directed by Terence Fisher, with screenplay by Wolf Mankiewicz. It features a very early film appearance by Oliver Reed, who plays "Tough."
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0054416/?ref_=ttfc_fc_tt
a good film that blows itself before the end. at one point you got handsome hyde talking to Jekyll in a mirror telling him it's nothing personal. I first saw this on the CBS Late Movie.
the thing is there is no good payoff in it. Jekyll's wife is a real bleep and how it galls hyde when she tells him she doan like him either.
but seriously the snake girl's python strangulating Christopher lee I coulda done without but we are robbed of the big payoff scene we shoulda gotten...
I wanted to see hyde on top of kitty in bed scare the sheet outta her by relating the nature of her husband's experiment and then asking her to guess who is really on top of her but no instead we get this stupid sheet with a drowsy kitty falling through a skylight.
kitty Jekyll is asking for it throughout the whole dam movie and she was so nice in Plymouth adventure.

I didn't know she passed...

my other favorite knotts knockout is joan freeman as ellie in the reluctant astronaut.

another film I would recommend grabbing while the grabbing's good is The Green Slime from 1968. another stupidly dismissed movie because American critics think japanese special effects invalidate it.
stupid!
we listen to guys with degrees from college film classes while the real experts, those guys with alotta Saturday afternoon and evening viewing hours in some cases hundreds of hours like myself are ignored.
I have liked the green slime ever since I first saw it like 40 years ago on the CBS Late Movie. it's great! the rivalry between jack rankin played so ably by Robert Horton and Richard Jaeckel.
of course Rankin winds up with the luscious knockout Luciana Paluzzi. she makes a sweet space nurse. utterly watchable and much underrated the green slime is a winner.
I've often thought that Robert Horton woulda made a fine replacement in the role of Prof John Robinson after Guy Williams passed away in 1989 of course that's just my opinion.

like dog day afternoon. what's the point of even trying to edit that one? it has so many utterances of the F word it is ridiculous to try.
only place I could see it uncut was right here on tcm. they just ran it like a week ago so I couldn't see it.
that is something that needs to be grabbed and put on a disk.
probably Sidney Lumet's best film.

As I recall, a nipkow disk was a component within early mechanical television systems, was it not?!
well, it has to do with TVs doan it?
you know that Scottish guy john logie baird who designed the televisor an early mechanical TV employing a...
...neon tube. he designed a color system for the military in WWII
I'd like to see that recreated.

okay so I capitalized for my nick way back then but that is me. the flyback transformer is an old high voltage component of the old RCA CT-100 our first mass-produced color TV.
😁
...and you should look up nipkow disk.
