Tearjerker on today - Penny Serenade

Darn ... missed it. Big Cary Grant fan. However, consider the film's theme: A woman on the verge of divorce recalls her heartbreaking attempts to adopt a child. The film is from 1941, a period of transition from the divorce films of the 30's and the unwanted children of the 50's. It fits the pattern in my comment above.

You need a heavy dose of "A Christmas Story"! Both TBS and TNT have scheduled it for a 24 hour loop, beginning tomorrow night. This is a traditional Christmas - family, kids and oozing with nostalgia.

Brings back happy memories from simpler times.

I'm actually surprised A Christmas Story -- one of my very favorites -- is still given so much airtime. Every year I expect the 24-hr marathon to be canceled in deference to "not supporting the gun culture."
