The journey to reach the lowest commn denominator for all TV programming has just about been accomplished: " arts " have gone away ( when I think of PBS I think primarily of their management passing the hat ) and stations ( Moremax, Encore Drama, The Movie Channel, etc.) that formerly aired older ( 40`s - 70`s ) selections have switched to much more recent titles only. I`m amazed by the dull junk on The Independent Film Channel and Sundance. TCM rarely shows anything not shown at least a half dozen times before. >> Stay informed about: Bye bye old movies
