I don't mind Arby's (esp. since they brought back their potato cakes), but we used to have an Applebee's next to where I work and every time we went there they screwed up our orders.

Have you ever eaten at Applebee's? 😜

Based on all the previous episodes, if they stay out of it (don't argue), there's no show.

It's funny but not split a gut funny. The enjoyable part is seeing the interaction with the classic stars.

On Friday April 11 TCM honors Skippy (aka, Asta) with a day of his films. Kennel Murder Case, The (1933) Half Naked Truth, The (1933) Fog Over Frisco (1934) Firebird, The (1934) I'm Still Alive (1940) Call It a Day (1937) Bringing Up Baby (1938) Thin Man, The (1934) After the Thin Man (1936) Famous Movie Dogs (1940) (short)

I'm glad TCM finally got to show "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid", after the last cock-up.

Plus subtracting the opening and the credits at the end, the episode was about a mere 16 minutes of show time.

I agree. I wish they'd advance the Dr Tire story line. Basically this was everyone fighting about Connor's date as opposed to everyone fighting about Georgie or Mandy. Not a great change.

Lucy & Desi: The Love Letters Lucie Arnaz ISBN: 9798894140421 A treasure trove of previously unseen love letters between Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, spanning their courtship through I Love Lucy fame and beyond, tells the couple’s real-life love story in their own words, alongside rare photos from the family scrapbooks. After Lucille Ball’s death in 1989, dozens of private letters between Lucy and Desi Arnaz were discovered. Now, for the first time, daughter Lucie Arnaz shares the complete collection in this remarkable volume that reveals the romance of one of the most famous couples in history more intimately than anything that has ever been written about them. At turns the letters disclose longing, ambition, jealousy, humor, and, above all, a passionate love affair that has claimed the world’s interest for more than half a century. This extraordinary collection takes readers back to America during World War II, to the lives of a young couple in the early years of their relationship, with budding careers in Hollywood that were still far from their heyday as the nation’s top stars. Each letter contains a bit of history as they talk about where they are, what they are doing, and what is going on in the world around them—whether it be a wardrobe fitting with a celebrated designer, remembering the last sensuous night they spent together, or trying to buy just the right refrigerator to please your mother-in-law during wartime rationing. Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz were married from 1940 to 1960 and while the bulk of the letters were written in the early 1940s, the compendium reflects their entire relationship, from an early courtship, through long periods of separation due to work and world events, to a bittersweet end after nearly two decades. This stunning book takes readers as close as possible to the actual letters by featuring reproductions complete with envelopes, stamps, postmarks, and Lucy and Desi's own custom stationery. Further illustrated by rare photos from the Arnaz family scrapbooks, this volume is a revelatory look at a complicated and captivating love story that will amaze even longtime fans who think they have seen it all.

For fans of "Conclave" TCM will the showing "Shoes of the Fisherman" tonight (4/2)

If you're from Chicago you should have gone the the Clark Theater. From the early 60s to the early 70s it was a repertory theater (it then was a porn theater for a short time before being torn down), saw a lot of old movies on the big screen. https://cinematreasures.org/theaters/4497
