    Looking for a PBS program from the 1980s

    Hoping someone here might remember this... Back in the mid-1980s (somewhere between 1983 and 1986), I used to see a promo on PBS for a program (not sure if it was a movie or a miniseries) about a romance between two mismatched middle-aged people. The woman was a prim Maggie Smith type, and the...

    Pre-Order Rosemary's Baby (1968) (4k UHD Combo) Available for Preorder

    If Paramount included the made-for-TV sequel, LOOK WHAT'S HAPPENED TO ROSEMARY'S BABY, I'd buy this new release in a heartbeat. I saw it ages ago on the late show and would love to see it again.

    Your thoughts on Kino-Lorber Blu-rays

    From the article: "Kino Cult will expand its partnership with legendary cult label Something Weird, with collector’s edition releases to be announced soon." Hoping, hoping, hoping that a Blu-ray of SATAN IN HIGH HEELS will one day grace my collection...

    Never saw this, but there are a lot of talented folks involved. (Imagine the fun one could have making Venn Diagrams!) Is this worth a blind buy?

    Great Movies Almost Ruined By A Single Performance

    I don't know if this film is considered to be a "great" film, and I know this choice will ruffle many feathers, but... Meryl Streep in DOUBT (2008). I admit I've never been a fan of Streep, although I have enjoyed her work over the years, but her performance here embodies what I don't like...

    DECADES TV Network Rebranding to CATCHY-Comedy TV March 27, 2023.

    As I recall, that didn't last too long because the powers-that-be started telling the studio audiences not to cheer when Kramer entered a scene. I always found it jarring because even though SEINFELD was a multi-camera comedy shot in front of an audience, it often felt more like a single-camera...

    DECADES TV Network Rebranding to CATCHY-Comedy TV March 27, 2023.

    For me, HAPPY DAYS hit rock bottom with an episode in which, out of the blue, Joanie became a high school teacher. (I don't recall if this was before or after her singing career...) The students were played by actors who looked older than Erin Moran and one of the students tried to rape her...

    Which Single Movie Of Your Collection Gets The Most Long Term Replay ?

    I have a long list of Christmas movies I watch every year, starting with MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET (1947) on the night before Thanksgiving. (Each year, the list gets longer...) I always watch THE TEN COMMANDMENTS (1956) the night before Easter. The two films I've probably watched most often are...

    Thank you, KLSC! I've been wanting to see this again for years! (Weren't there music rights issues with this in the past?)

    DECADES TV Network Rebranding to CATCHY-Comedy TV March 27, 2023.

    THE ODD COUPLE is in the same time slot, but other shows moved to different time slots and were reduced to single episodes rather than back-to-back episodes. Struck me as an odd approach to launching a new brand -- several outdated promos and a single blanket promo for the new line-up. At...

    DECADES TV Network Rebranding to CATCHY-Comedy TV March 27, 2023.

    Watching THE MOD SQUAD binge -- a last hurrah. They're running one promo for the rebranding, but they're still showing several promos for the old lineup, which makes no sense considering that the new lineup begins on Monday morning.

    DECADES TV Network Rebranding to CATCHY-Comedy TV March 27, 2023.

    I read online (I think it was on Variety's website) that they plan to use the weekend binges to highlight lesser-known and short-lived sitcoms in addition to classic shows. I would love a "Dick and Paula Saturday" featuring HE & SHE and QUARK, and I can think of quite a few other shows that it...

    Great cast, including Skip Ward, of all people. I can add this to my "Films of the cast of RED LINE 7000" collection. (in all seriousness, if you check out their filmographies, you'll find many gems!) Again, thank you KLSC for such a wide range of releases.

    A few words about…™ The Night of the Iguana – in Blu-ray

    Arguably Ava Gardner's finest performance, and I never could resist Grayson Hall. (I'm still waiting for a Blu-ray release of SATAN IN HIGH HEELS...). But all of the performances are excellent, and Huston does a terrific job creating a sense of location and a sense of community among these...

    Favorite Christmas Episodes

    "Not a Christmas Story" is one of my favorites. Betty White's delivery of the line, "I'm a little Dutch girl," is just one of the many great moments in this episode.

    Late to the party, so I apologize for duplicating other people's answers... The FRASIER Christmas episodes are a treat and in recent years, Cozi has been running two per night on consecutive Mondays in December. WILL & GRACE did quite a few, but I'm partial to one with Parker Posey and the...
