dianedebuda Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Thought I saw in Tribute thread that the orig GWTW wraparounds were going to be shown as part of 48 hr tribute. Any idea if true & when? Wish there weren't so many repeats during the tribute; so many other Private Screenings I'd like to see again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hibi Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Yes, I was looking forward to more Private Screenings, not the same half dozen repeated over and over...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lydecker Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 The original GWTW intro from April 14, 1994 will air tomorrow night, Saturday, March 18 at 8PM ET. Great. It had been announced, then did not appear on the schedule and I was especially looking forward to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LornaHansonForbes Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Great. It had been announced, then did not appear on the schedule and I was especially looking forward to that. Have you checked YouTube for it? I can't post a video, if there is one here, because I'm using my phone- but I wouldn't be surprised if there was. (A lot of RO's introductions are on YouTube.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you brought this up, because I didn't see it on the schedule either, but had it marked on my calendar according to some tribute message earlier in the month.

LornaHansonForbes Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 i just checked youtube and there are a bunch of introes, but it would seem not his original GWTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewhite2000 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Pretty sure this is the one where Robert says TCM will occasionally be showing movies from today. I implore every poster who has ever come on here and accused TCM of betraying its original intent by showing a movie made after 1960 to please watch this moment and realize Robert said that TCM would be showing modern movies within his first 15 seconds on the air, so you can all see how wrong you were.

LsDoorMat Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 I've posted this link before, but this is an article from the Baltimore Sun, Oct. 31, 1993, talking about TCM launching. Its mission statement, before it ever was on the air, was to show movies from all eras, including modern classics. Is AMC (Always More Commercials) worried at the time? Nah. http://articles.baltimoresun.com/1993-10-31/features/1993304131_1_ted-turner-turner-classic-classic-movies 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
