maskedmala Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 What's missing from TCM is various vintage movie series done in the 30's and 40's by Columbia Pictures, Monogram Pictures and 20th Century Fox. Before the facelift of AMC it was possible to see these movie series, now for the exception of some series from time to time (coming up is Monogram's East Side Kids series), and the usual MGM, RKO and Paramount series that TCM owned, chances are thin to see series like Columbia: Crime Doctor, Ellery Queen, Lone Wolf, Boston ****, I love a Mystery, Thatcher Colt, ... Monogram: Charlie Chan, Frankie Darro and Mantan Moreland, Bomba the Jungle Boy, Tailspin Tommy, Joe Palooka, Jiggs & Maggie, ... 20th Century Fox: Mr. Moto, Michael Shayne, Charlie Chan, ... Universal: Little Tough Guys, Sherlock Holmes ... Paramount: Henry Aldrich ... Please TCM show these movie series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgeciff Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 I think if prints of many of these titles exist TCM has to license them for showing. Many of these films have been off TV for years, especially the Michael Shayne series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
