mutinyetc Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 I strongly recommend you pick up the cartoon network exclusive program, THE POPEYE SHOW after your brother channel threw it out. It's a wonderful quality show and it's a shame it's not being used. My suggestion is that you show it after the Silent Sunday Night feature since most early movies can be under 1 hour 30 minutes and they start at 12:00 so that would leave room at 1:30 and then the next feature can begin at an even 2:00. Please, all I ask for is 30 minutes a week. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwtwbooklover Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 Just like being in the movie theatre eh-mutinyetc. Actually there was a movie theatre I went to see one of the oh can't remember the name of the movie -need to go to bed. One of the 3 Mel Gibson and Danny Glover police movies. Anyway the cartoon for me was better than the movie. It was a Bugs Bunny one where Yosemite Sam and he are in medevil time and Sam has a dragon to ride and when he says whoo,dragon and it screeches to a stop and he slides painfully down its back-so funny. But have to tell you about where I laughed out loud and the person who was with me said someone said I sounded like a puppy when I laughed. Yosemite shoots himself by catapult to the castle Bugs is on the top of and he miscalculated the shoot and he is short. The brick of the castle inches forward on Bugs side and Yosemite is flat faced on the other before he falls-it's my favorite Bugs Bunny cartoon.

leobertucelli Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 OR, just 4get silents altogether & show say films done and acted by HUGO HASS--Anyone recall seeing his films??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mutinyetc Posted June 14, 2004 Author Share Posted June 14, 2004 That's real funny GWTW. If anyone thinks I'm a traitor to features don't I love features I just need a dose of animated shorts since cn abandoned them and went all adult swim on everybody tcm's my only hope. I have another idea, why don't tcm go into the Video On Demand feature that's available on Time Warner Cable? Then we can watch movies and selected packaged programs whenever we want for about two weeks. I can see it on the menu now, it would be like a theater, one musical, one drama, one adventure, one precode (he he), and a John Nesbit's Passing Parade program. Are you listening TCMPROGRAMER? All cn exclusive specialty shows like toonheads, tex avery, bob clampet, and chuck jones could also be on tcm vod or cn vod. Better yet why isn't there simply tcm cable?!?! Instead of getting all these other cable channels every channel's tcm with something different on each one. With a 100 channels, a 100 movies each having a 24 hour run. Technology's incredible! Oh and throw in a few silents for our little friend here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mutinyetc Posted June 14, 2004 Author Share Posted June 14, 2004 Tcm could also get the JUNE BUGS I really miss that. Tcm you really need to realize you're about the last hope for all these films and give them a home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgeciff Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 leobertucelli, are you for real? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mutinyetc Posted June 14, 2004 Author Share Posted June 14, 2004 Oops forgot too add if we do things like the JUNE BUGS we can see all that censored footage and banned toons like MISSIPEE HARE. Please, at least give us a program on vod. TCMPROGRAMER, if you're ever involved any outside the tcm department on the Time Warner ladder please tell cn to put popeye on vod. I am using this forum to do things like this because this is the best thing thats happened in a while, to be able to communicate with an insider at tcm. And last if you do this, be sure to tell them THE POPEYE SHOW and not some other print inferior in quality like aap. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrtbsh Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 we're working on a way to put more animated shorts into the schedule; I think by the fall we should have something (possibly a show that combines a few of them that have something in common) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mutinyetc Posted June 17, 2004 Author Share Posted June 17, 2004 Thank you very much TCMPROGRAMER. I also seriously think vod would be a good direction for you. You can have multiple movies all at once. Cartoon network does do this but they're not realizing it's full potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
