I thought this was TCM.com's message board, not Foxnews.com

It's not on the schedule at all for February, then March and April all have 2005 reruns. Too bad.

Karate Kid is cheesy and unintentionally amusing. Bad News Bears is a classic though. Walter Matthau is great as the boozehound Buttermaker. He and Tatum O'Neal both won Oscars for other films. With all the profanity, racial slurs and the drinking it features, it's amazing they intended the movie for kids.

The "Remind Me" feature you reference used to work great but is now totally screwed up. It is supposed to remind you 1 week before the movies airs and again, 24 hours before the airing. It worked great before the site was redone. Now if you select remind me you will get 2 reminders sent to you around midnight before the movie airs. If the movie airs at 3am your reminders will arrive just three hours before the film starts. I've even gotten reminders sent to me AFTER the film aired. I've emailed TCM about this issue but have yet to get a reply back and the problem persists.

Also, if you use the movie search it will sometimes now list a movie as airing when it is not. For example, if you search for "The Women" it will list three air times on January 17 and "Remind Me" next to each airing but it is not airing at all that day. Using the search you'll find "The Blue Angel" is supposedly playing January 21 but it's not on at all that day.

For almost 2 years now I check the schedule at the beginning of the month and set Remind Me for each movie I want to see. TCM then emails me a reminder 1 week before a movie airs and again 1 day before. This has worked great for me but with the new format the feature no longer works. I set my reminders as usual this month but TCM no longer emails me in time. No reminders have been sent a week before. Some reminders have been sent a few hours before airing. I received 2 reminders this morning but the movies aired overnight so I missed them. The online schedule worked so well before, I don't know why TCM messed with it. TCM, you're losing a big fan of your channel.
