FReeper fave Blazing Saddles is airing tonight on Turner Classic Movies at 10:30 p.m. EST.
This FR thread from 2015 posited that Blazing Saddles could not be made today due to political correctness.
Fortunately in 1974 Mel Brooks, Richard Pryor, Gene Wilder, Cleavon Little, Madeline Kahn, Harvey Korman, Slim Pickens, Alex Karras, et al, were still free to make this comedy classic.
The showing of Blazing Saddles is part of TCM's 31 Days of Oscar A to Z which started Wednesday.
TCM airs films unedited, so all the jokes should be heard/seen.
TOPICS: Chit/Chat; Humor; Society; TV/Movies
KEYWORDS: blazingsaddles; cleavonlittle; comedy; hollywood; melbrooks; moviereview; tcm; turnerclassic

A while back there was discussion of a Turner Classic Movie ping list/discussion group.
Please consider this the inaugural thread. But I can not maintain a ping list. I will however use the keyword TurnerClassic to alert FReepers to films airing on TCM that I am interested in discussing. Feel free to do the same.
Popcorn or baked beans are optional snacks for tonight's viewing of Blazing Saddles.

If they don’t run it as made it is a travesty. I once saw this picture in a sanitized version and it was terrible.
Richard Pryor co-wrote this thing and you can tell, some of the scenes are pure Richard Pryor.

Gays may not like the last 10 minutes.

I saw it on TCM about 15 years ago and the ran it unedited.
Watch it and report back (I don’t get TCM anymore).
