I have been watching TCM for yrs. and yrs. altho not so much lately like the past 3-4yrs. As I recall all of the movies were top of the line and lately way way too many are not even c, they are just junk movies i never heard of and gave then a watch anyway and realized I just wasted my time. and now it seems unless there is a special presentation w/ Robert Osborn and his guest, there really is no reason to tune in.

Being that there are no commercials why do you run that junk, and by junk I don’t mean silent, noir none of that, I love those, I love anything fine and classic. And that’s what TCM would only play so how about it again?
