   TCM stands for Turner Classic Movies which is a cable TV channel here in the   
   USA that shows classic movies (with NO commercial interruptions)spanning from   
   the 1920's to the 1970's.  About 20 years ago TV Mogul Ted Turner purchased   
   the complete MGM Movie    
   catalog (including everything else)and started his own cable channel.  It   
   features different genres... ie: different stars, themes, etc. from time to   
   time but most of the time is random.  It could show a John Wayne Western   
   followed by a Cary Grant comedy,   
    a Ida Lupino melodrama or show nothing but film noir for a day.  It is the   
   ONLY TV channel I watch outside of Baseball or American (REAL) Football!  It   
   is when Hollywood programmed movies for Adults not 12 year olds.  I cannot   
   recall the last time I    
   went to a movie theater to watch a recent movie.  It may have been that Clint   
   Eastwood movie "Gran Torino"...and that was 8 years ago.  I do not want to see   
   movies based on comic books or car chase movies.  Give me William Powell &   
   Myrna Loy anyday!!!
