So, what do we do when DISH no longer carries TCM?

They better not. Have you heard anything? There's a big difference between TCM and AMC.

I don't know if I could take 24 hours of Lionel Barrymore.

I've often thought the Barrymores were overrated in movies, maybe better on the stage.

I didn't really care for their speaking voices, but that's just MHO.

Move to another provider asap.

I use Verizon FiOS and am unhappy that they won't carry TCM HD. Hope to find someone that does carry it.

Lionel Barrymore...overrated? No way! The others you can made a case around.

Lionel commands the screen. Damn I love that guy.

“Night Flight” (1933)? That is a rarity. Is this its television debut? For decades it was wrapped up and unseen due to some kind of copyright troubles, as I recall.

How is TCMHD? I imagine it’s a lot better even though the films are old.

I've never seen 'Nightflight,' but 'You Can't Take it With You' resembles a stage play, which it was for a long time on Broadway before the film version was released. The movie comes across to me as too stagey. Same with 'The Man Who Came to Dinner.'
