Why do you love Turner Classic Movie Channel? See why this blogger from tvsquad.com thinks TCM is the best thing since pizza and beer!
I remember when I lived in NYC I had to wait until Friday nights to watch a classic movie on PBS, that was a treat. When I finally got cable I’d watch hours on American Movie Classic channel before they ruined it with commercials and awful movies. How dare they call movies like “Halloween,” classic? I digress… I’d go between AMC and TCM, it was hard making chooses about what to watch. Thank God for TiVo!
I’ve been watching TCM for many years and I have many of the same reasons this blogger has for watching as fanatically as I do. In a nutshell here are the reasons:
1.Lots and lots of movies to choose from
2.They have an interactive web site, and it keeps the fans well informed on “what’s playing,” and a plethora of information on anything classic film.
3.Robert Osborne, ah yes, Osborne, he is a class act and I couldn’t imagine TCM without him. A walking encyclopedia and an icon.
4. Uncut and commercial free. Political correctness is non-existent. They show all classic movies the way they were produced and it doesn’t matter who gets offended today. Talk about artistic freedom!
5.Add-ons, it isn’t just the movies, it’s also all the add-ons like film history, documentaries, to name just a couple.

One Response to “My Love Affair With TCM”
I love TCM for all the reasons named above. I also like their “theme” days, with films featuring one actor, or with titles that contain the same word, or any other silly combination of criteria to lump a handful of movies togther. As much as I like to watch TCM, I’m glad it wasn’t around when I was a child. I might not have ever played outside.
