Yes. He's just one of those character acters who never fails to deliver. Cracks me up every time I see him.

This is not a yearly-cumulative "unique" list that gets reset each year (as my other quantitative reports are). This is just a count of movies as they premiered on TCM, across all broadcast years. That is, TCM's first occurrence of each feature-length film (45 min or greater), and the year that it was aired. So hypothetically speaking, if TCM aired Fletch for the first time in 2002, then it would only ever get counted once in 2002, then never again and never before. [edit: I just reworded the description on that report to match this.] The first few TCM broadcast years are the largest because they burned through most of their premieres during those years (you know, the golden era stuff they are best known for). Then that slows down and remains pretty stable up to now. Lately it has been a lot of Japanese film and other random stuff. But there is still some golden era stuff they can find to fit into that. 1998 and 1999 are going to be off, because I am missing about half of each of those years. P.S. To contrast, here is a different report showing my most simple count of all movies shown per year (unique by year - or counted only once per year). http://moviecollector.us/reports/3)unique-features_movies-only.htm

Here's a count of premieres, accurate for the most part. No hockey stick graphs. Just raw data. http://moviecollector.us/reports/11)movies-only_Historical-Premieres.htm

Since it appears the toolbar stopped working spontaneously, i'd say either they ran a routine update which broke it, or else they were using software that had a "time bomb". I'd give it about a 50/50 chance in this case, as they aren't that big on updates, whereas routine updates continuously break things all over the world. Especially Microsoft updates, from what I read and hear about.

Thanks for the help! I'll have one of each of those.

I didn't think so, or else I would have answered it differently, wouldn't I.

Just an addendum to my large post above, the post with the "World's Greatest Elvis" competition. The older judge in that video, towards the end of the segment, is none other than Joe Esposito - Elvis's long time friend and road manager! The most perfect judge they could have had. I should have watched that video all the way through before. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Esposito_(author) https://www.graceland.com/news/details/remembering-joe-esposito/8199/

I see I am in good company with others here who enjoyed the movie for what it was. (note: this is a larger picture)

Okay, thanks for that. Mine was from their online monthly schedule too. That day is identical except it seems Angels With Dirty Faces was replaced with These Wilder Years (1956). 4:45 PM Johnny Angel (1946) 6:15 PM These Wilder Years (1956) 8:00 PM Hoosiers (1986) In this case I can confirm this schedule was retrieved in the middle of the month, well after that time slot had aired. I look at each of these individually, so if you notice other potential issues let me know. For others who might be wondering what we are talking about here, there is this: http://moviecollector.us/reports/TCM_SCHEDULES_SUMMARY_alpha.htm Also I don't keep track of shorts as carefully, they are moved around in the schedule rather frequently. So while shorts do get tracked, it is understood the original schedules (my source) do not attempt to completely track them.

I have Nov 2006 for my earliest date.

What movies surrounded it in your version of the schedule? Was yours the print version?

Who's that, Bing? That almost looks like a scene from The Black & White Minstrels - a British TV production whose music sounded good to my ears (at least the LPs), but then I saw parts of the TV show and thought it looked a bit silly. P.S. I'm sure the BBC has burned all the masters by now.

1994-08 Fugitive Lovers (1934) 1994-08 Fugitive Lovers (1934) 1995-01 Fugitive Lovers (1934) 1995-11 Fugitive Lovers (1934) 1996-05 Fugitive Lovers (1934) 1996-07 Fugitive Lovers (1934) 2001-12 Fugitive Lovers (1934) 2006-01 Fugitive Lovers (1934) 2006-05 Fugitive Lovers (1934) Complete back to Dec 2000, missing months shows at bottom of this page: http://moviecollector.us/reports.htm

For Classic Movies, combined acting and singing, Bing Crosby. For most wedding band covers, Frank Sinatra. For most carryover to stage performers today and overall fun, Elvis! That reminds me, I haven't seen 3000 Miles To Graceland (2001) in a while. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0233142/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 See what I mean. The wannabees are easily recognizable and never too serious. Okay, I take that back. This guy IS serious.

Yeah, there was someone else in that same thread who basically said the same thing about a Show Boat boxed set. It wasn't promised though, just speculated, or something to that effect. I haven't seen the 1929 version yet. It is said to be missing some sections of the audio. Another example of film rights purchased that comes to mind is the producers of Airplane! purchasing Zero Hour!, but I understand they also dumped it shortly afterwards - maybe as an in-joke.

Just an update, here is that post I was reminded of, from about a month ago: https://www.nitrateville.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=25934&p=203337#p203455 I have no more to offer than that. It turns out this was already marked off as "done" in my DB, so I didn't record this instance.

I'm headed out this minute, but briefly I made a short memo to self based on a recent post here (or maybe elsewhere): Check for Showboat (1936) on most recent archives HDD. It was mentioned that TCM played a version of it recently with a secondary audio track with commentary. So that might have been inadvertent on the main audio track for them, or for that one poster it may have been on his end. I still need to verify what I actually recorded (just the usual Directv HD TCM feed), so I can mark that movie off or not.

Yeah, well I wouldn't read too much into it

Well I have been working on saving the recently aired jungle movies, and I do believe I have finally seen the aforementioned commercial(s). That is a bit focused around one individual, isn't it. Just a random case, I suppose we are to conclude. Whatever. Just don't change the movie format on us. Really.

Well I would have watched this a third time since it recetly aired, but my work on the recently aired jungle movies kind of got in the way.

Well that makes two times I viewed it since it just aired. Definitely one I like, I would nominate this one for that thread about movies that are good for multiple viewings. Time for me to put it away for a while.

Hah! Not in my DB because that is one of the remaining months I haven't received yet.

This one kind of hits close to home for me. I must admit I had seen this one a couple times already, it was good to see it again. Like an old friend. Hey, there was someone who looked a bit like Marge Champion too.

I thought that at least it might be worth a shot.
