1. Please note that I've highlighted tonight's 'Feature' line-up in green

as TCM has done on their Full Schedule. Apparently, there's something that links these movies, and would ordinarily have been shared on the former feature of 'What's On Tonight'.

As an aside, I made mention last week on one of my posts, that I was going to post my disdain for this 'new-fangled' schedule on the TCM forum, and see if I got a response. Indeed, I did, & here it is:

lzcutter says: "It may be a temporary glitch. It looks like web crew is adding a link to Leonard Maltin's reviews for various films and that is still a work in progress.

Hopefully when the bugs have all been worked out, the graphic look of the schedule will return to normal. "

I replied with the following: "Thank you for taking the time to reply. I do notice that certain of the evening's films are 'highlighted' in the Full Schedule in a honey-colored background, whereas the rest of the day's schedule has a blue-grey background. This must mean something, but I don't know what.

I REALLY miss the 'What's On Tonight' feature on the Full Schedule! It always was so helpful to understand why the evening's films or programs were linked. It's not always so obvious. TCM really needs to bring this back- "

Of course, I will keep you guys posted on any new developments on this front-

2. I guess it's Cary Grant-Betsy Drake movies!

:shrug:

I couldn't find anything specific under the This Month feature on TCM.

3. sounds good to me!

I guess we're just going to have to start making up our own 'What's On Tonight' categories!!

4. I've done that before!

Sometimes TCM will do a day-long birthday tribute or something, yet what follows the What's on Tonight headline will reflect a different theme from what they've posted.
