I am curious how you are able to determine at any time of the day when an unlisted short is aired. I have to stay up and watch the programming to catch an unlisted short. Thanks. > Regarding determining when an unlisted short may be aired, are you asking how can we tell if a short is likely to be shown? We need to check the running times of the movies on TCM and see if they end short of the full time slot and if there's time left to fill. Then tune in and see if they run a short as a filler. Any time there's ten minutes or more between movies, it's likely they'll run a short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaquelVixen Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 edit..........Sorry about not seeing the first post about you using a VCR. I only saw the last post. Yes, I agree that if we use a collective effort we can cover the gaps which aren't listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicalnovelty Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Unlisted short on Thursday morning, Nov. 1, 2012 at 1:52 A.M. (eastern) - CRASHING THE MOVIES (1950) - MGM (Pete Smith series). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhygLeGuy Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Between the last feature on the October schedule, The Invisible Man, and the first feature on the November schedule, Tension at Table Rock, and not listed on any schedule: *The Man on the Rock* (1938), a Carey Wilson miniature about Napoleon faking his own death. Just for the record, the promotional short for Made in Paris is titled *From Paris: Your Reporter Richard Crenna*, which is how it gets listed on TCM's schedule in better times. (I choose to believe that the team responsible for adding shorts to the online schedules has volunteered for sandbag duty somewhere.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks alot, TCM. Fortunately, I set up my viewing schedule before they disappeared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks alot, TCM. Fortunately, I set up my viewing schedule before they disappeared. I'm still seeing shorts listed on the daily schedule through Wednesday, Nov. 7. But not for the three long schedule gaps today, the 4th. As noted, they just ran CINEMA CIRCUS after STAGE DOOR. Was there a short earlier today after IN NAME ONLY? There was over 20 minutes open before the next movie, but I didn't get to see if they ran a short. There's also time for a two-reel short tonight at about 11:36 P.M. I will not be able to check then, so I hope one of our reliable team can report if and what they show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredMertz Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Earlier today, after In Name Only, *What Price Jazz* aired. My Comcast onscreen schedule still has several shorts listed (all times Eastern): 11:46pm -- *Rambling 'Round Radio Row* Monday, 5 November: 2:21am -- *The Making of Cannery Row* 8:15am -- *London Can Take It* Tuesday, 6 November: 2:01am -- *Sport Slants* 3:46am -- *Spencer Tracy* bio [probably Hollywood Hist-o-Rama|http://forums.tcm.com/] 10:49am -- *Wrong Way Butch* Wednesday, 7 November 12:18am -- *Constance Bennett Presents Her Daily Beauty Ritual* 1:53am -- *Gus Arnheim and His Ambassadors* Edited 5 November, 8:29am: *All the shorts are back in the schedule this morning!* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhygLeGuy Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Sometimes, when all the shorts vanish from the weekly schedule http://www.tcm.com/schedule/weekly.html?tz=est you just have to back up a day http://www.tcm.com/schedule/weekly.html?tz=est&sdate=2012-11-15 and they all come back.

mickeyfender Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I'd just discovered that trick myself a little while before you posted. But I still wonder what would make the listings disappear like that. > Strategy tip: When playing the TCM schedule game, check your sanity at the door. Amen to that!

musicalnovelty Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Unlisted short on TCM Friday moning, January 18, 2013, at about 5:40 A.M. (eastern), after FINGERS AT THE WINDOW - COME TO DINNER (1933) - Vitaphone. There's time later on Jan. 18 for another possible short to be shown (as of now, unlisted on the schedule) at about 7:37 P.M. (eastern) after the feature MONKEY BUSINESS. Edited by: musicalnovelty on Jan 18, 2013 5:14 PM to add that the schedule has just been updated to include the short that will follow MONKEY BUSINESS (1952). It will be the Charley Chase short MANHATTAN MONKEY BUSINESS (1935). The updated schedule also includes some Vitaphone shorts that will be shown between some of the Laurel & Hardy shorts on Friday night where there were gaps of 20 minutes or more.

HomesoulM Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I saw those shorts on Friday evening only to miss the schedule when I logged in today. I wished TCM includes the shorts in their Now Playing publication which is a good reason to subscribe but,I have not because of this omission. When you or anyone had seen a short or play to see one make sure to write a diary of the title of that short to research in the future. Or I would copy the day's schedule.

mickeyfender Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I certainly hope so. I haven't noticed any for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heuriger Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 If they don't air any more ghosts (unlisted shorts) then we'll never see Los Angeles, Wonder City of the West (1935) again because now for years the only time it is shown is when it is unscheduled and unlisted.
