TopBilled Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Nine great evenings in November. Looking at the schedule, though, I couldn't tell how many episodes there are-- are they covering one episode each week, or does each night signify a different episode?

Barton_Keyes Posted September 29, 2016 Author Share Posted September 29, 2016 Interesting ... Michael Moore's controversial FAHRENHEIT 9/11 has been replaced by the (slightly) less controversial ROGER & ME from the same filmmaker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barton_Keyes Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share Posted October 24, 2016 This series will be hosted by Oscar-nominated actor Alec Baldwin, formerly Robert Osborne's Essentials co-host and currently the Donald Trump impersonator of record on Saturday Night Live. Alec Baldwin, host of TCM's Spotlight on classic documentaries, is pictured above in 2013 with TCM host Robert Osborne. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Bear Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Appears TCM is showing 2 parts of the planned 6 (last night's Episode 1 was titled Episode 2). They date from 2012 and may have been shown on PBS. The remaining 4 are probably not completed; maybe they ran out of funding (Republican Congresses?) and may never be.

CrisR Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Woodstock (1970) seems to have been dropped for Wednesday but they don't say what's replacing it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrisR Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Very strange because it has been taken off the monthly schedule and the watch tcm app schedule. Also this tcm page for it hasn't got it as an upcoming movie http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/563221/Woodstock/. Only the TCM daily/weekly schedule has it as scheduled but that's contrary to the other sources. Edit: It is back on schedule but as a director's cut.
