JeanneCrain Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Confused, this morning expected to see per schedule "Eight on the Lam 1967" instead "Our Miss Brooks 1956" aired. ? Can anyone explain? ? Disappointed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disappointed Maybe they decided Eve Arden was worth including in the Funny Ladies spotlight instead of Phyllis Diller. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeanneCrain Posted October 19, 2018 Author Share Posted October 19, 2018 Was merely seeking Hope...? ...as in Bob "Hope" to be in the spotlight of my funny - just looking at Bobby tickles me's funny-bone. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't that defeat the purpose of the spotlight-- which is meant to celebrate women in comedy, not men in comedy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hibi Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 I doubt you missed anything. The film bombed with critics and audiences at the time....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Movie Collector OH Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Thanks JeanneCrain for saying something about this, I hadn't gotten around to discovering it missing yet. Oh well, another premiere/rarity goes up in smoke. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeanneCrain Posted October 19, 2018 Author Share Posted October 19, 2018 Was unaware the comedy genre was "spotlighting" gender (women) segregation - hail to the conquering heroes of the "me too" crowd! ? Regardless of gender, enjoy watching comedy classics such as 5th Avenue Girl and Fun on a Week-End, which include men & women in comedy roles...? Regardless of critics and audiences "at the time" - I haven't seen "Eight on the Lam" while its rerun replacement "Our Miss Brooks" fails to tickle my funny-bone...which doesn't explain why "Eight on the Lam" was booted from the schedule without a future airing date. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you missed the point of what I was saying in my previous comment. It would be like taking a film meant to spotlight Bob Hope's comedy and talking up his costar Dorothy Lamour, failing to see why it was on the schedule in the first place. TCM often airs films by themes, so we can appreciate certain trends or aspects of movie making. It's not always a political thing. I don't see how spotlighting female comics has anything to do with #MeToo. As for why EIGHT ON THE LAM was pulled, it could be any number of reasons. Budget. The title's availability. Or maybe TCM's programmers decided to save it for a theme in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alleybj Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 I see it as scheduled for this Friday morning, eastern time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm seeing it via Schedules Direct service, the schedule provider I use for my DVR computer's NextPVR scheduler. I don't remember rescheduling it to record, maybe the recording software did.

Between "Gilda Live" and "A Man For All Seasons". Strange that it isn't appearing on TCM's own listings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hibi Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 So in place of Dodsworth then? How do you know this? Never mind. I didnt see your previous post. Weird! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Movie Collector OH Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 At this point nobody knows for sure, but what else is new around here. All I know is I see it in my schedule provider's schedule (similar to what you see on your digital TV/DVR on-screen schedule). This is corroborated by alleybj's independent finding above.

Hibi Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 I'll check on mine tonight. I'm tempted to record this (if I have enough space) to see how truly awful it is...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LsDoorMat Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 The TCM online schedule shows Dodsworth, but my DirecTV schedule shows "Eight on the Lam". Wasn't this the same problem with this film the last time that it aired? Conflicting schedules? This film seems to be on the lam. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewhite2000 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 All right, well someone either stay up until 6 am, or set your alarm early and let me know how this all turned out! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkblue Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 So did everyone catch it this morning? It was on too early for me, so I taped it. Can't wait to watch it tonight! Like Rick Moranis, as Woody Allen, says in the SCTV movie "Play It Again, Bob" - Hope is the king; the destroyer - there's no comeback in the world for Hope.

Hibi Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Yeah, it was on my cable schedule too, but I didnt record it. Not enough room and I didnt want to erase anything for this bomb. Anyone watch it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
