Yet, it's been literally decades that I've seen either of these programmed on local stations. Rights issues perhaps? I mean they were on ALL the time. <br /><br />I've never seen "Road House."

Nowadays, you're more likely to find a James Bond film than Bas and Nigel Bruce.<br /><br />My mother used to be a huge fan of <b>Road House</b> (well, she also finds <b>Dirty Dancing</b> captivating, so there's no accounting for taste) but the last time I saw it announced on AMC I kidded her about it and she told me she was a little tired of seeing it all the time. When Fox Home Video released the similarly-named 1948 film (with Ida Lupino and Richard Widmark) to DVD I told her "I've just purchased a copy of <b>Road House</b>...but don't expect to see Patrick Swayze in this one."Ivan G Shreve Jrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04067177808320053382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-2520704437336608682012-07-01T14:56:43.356-04:002012-07-01T14:56:43.356-04:00TCM overdoses us on Bye, Bye Birdie!TCM overdoses us on Bye, Bye Birdie!Gilby37https://www.blogger.com/profile/12559239743969365425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-65206300138529097262012-07-01T08:53:01.121-04:002012-07-01T08:53:01.121-04:00Fun post, Rick!

It was a raucous good time, a blast of American cheese to a Yank far from home. It seems a weird one for endless repeats on TBS, in a way, as whatever version that would have played would have been ridiculously sanitized, with most of the boobs, blood and bad words cut out.Jeff Flugelhttp://thestalkingmoon.weebly.comnoreply@blogger.com
