TCM Summer Under the Stars 2013


TCM Summer Under the Stars starts tomorrow! Which day are you most excited about? I'm very excited about Mary Boland, Ramon Novarro, Ann Blyth, Steve McQueen, Fred MacMurray, Kirk Douglas, Mickey Rooney, Hattie McDaniel, Glenda Farrell and others. The days I'm most excited about are the ones showcasing stars I'm not as familiar with. I have already seen so many of the films they are showing on the Humphrey Bogart, Doris Day and Bette Davis days that I'm looking forward to other days with a lot more new-to-me films. And even stars I adore like Kirk Douglas and Mickey Rooney both have a lot of films that I haven't seen so this is a great opportunity to catch up.

I didn't have TCM for quite a few years and I got it last year in time for TCM Summer Under the Stars. However, all my vacation time was spent having my wedding and honeymoon that I worked all through August. We could barely afford the cable let alone a DVR so I missed most of last year's programming. We still don't have a (functioning) DVR but I was able to take some time off during August so I hope to be able to catch a lot more programming this year.

I'll also be contributing two pieces to the TCM Summer Under the Stars Blogathon! One on Steve McQueen and another on Kirk Douglas so watch for those coming up.

  3. without a doubt i am most excited about Glenda Farrell day! several films i've never seen so i am hoping i can take that day off and get 'em all, lol!
    like you i've seen most of the films of the major stars they are showing. not only that but i also have most of those films in my library so its actually a pretty light recording schedule for once!
    i look forward to your post about Kirk!

Leave me a comment! If it is a long one, make sure you save a draft of it elsewhere just in case Google gobbles it up and spits it out.
