Turner Classic Movies.  It's a cable network.   It's been around for about thirty years.  Originally started by Ted Turner as part of his various groups of networks.  Has no commercials, a fabulous library of films, and great experts giving intros and interviewing stars and filmmakers.  There's a topic dedicated to it in the Movies thread.

Turner Classic Movies. Ted Turner had the TV rights of MGM for his cable stations and it grew from there.

N/M it's been covered.

Hadn't seen this mentioned here. Dave Coulier diagnosed with Stage 3 Non-Hodgkins lymphona.

Lots of "Cut.  It.  Out/Off." jokes in the comments.

Listening to "Alice's Restaurant" is my Thanksgiving tradition.

OK, the first thing I ever saw him in was playing a senile old man (in stagey old man makeup) called Mr. Dingle in The New Zoo Revue (1972) who I considered slightly likable due to being one of the only characters on the show that didn't sing. At the time, he was married to his 2nd of 4 wives JoAnn Pflug  who he had a daughter with and  who'd be the 'straight woman' to Alan Funt for a time in that rendition of Candid Camera. However, his longest union would be with his 3rd wife Teri Nelson (1985-2004) who he had two sons with. Miss Nelson was the adoptive daughter of David Nelson- the elder son of sitcom icons Ozzie and Harriet Nelson.

 

Anyway, I feel sorry for his surviving family.

Gee, sorry to hear about Alice Brock. I have her Alice’s Restaurant cookbook. Saw it at a yard sale cheap and couldn’t resist it. Actually has some good recipes.

When I was in college, we watched Love Connection every day, followed immediately by Divorce Court.  We thought that lineup was hilarious.

And I remember the Chuck Woolery "Wheel" days -- most people look at me like I'm crazy.  They think Pat Sajak was the first and only (until now) host of that show.

I remember early day of Wheel when the puzzle winner went shopping with their winnings. And you had to spend it all! If you had $50 and there was a ceramic Dalmatian for $40, you bought a ceramic Dalmatian!  So there was strategy involved with continuing to spin if you knew the puzzle to try to win more $$ in order to buy a bigger prize.

Even when I watch Wheel now, I complete the "Wheel! Of! Fortune!" intro with "Look at the studio filled with fabulous prizes!"  It's been decades since then, but there was always a ceramic dog.  I think people were less likely to buy vowels lest they run out of money and have to buy the ceramic dog.

Monica Geller approves of that statement.

Bette Davis has my feelings about Chuck Woolery.. I'll leave it at that.

Well, no one ever said he had Bette Davis Eyes, right?

P.S. I gotcha!
