I can't/won't vote because I want to be able to vote for each one.
What's nice: all the sweet words of support that people have posted in the thread.
One thing I want to say, creating a weeklong schedule is a lot of work, but it's fun and rewarding...like putting the pieces of a larger puzzle together.

That’s the end of voting!
Before I announce the winner, I have to express my appreciation for three fantastic schedules.
TopBilled — Great stuff! Lots of tributes to people I love like the great Edith Head, the underrated Anna Lee, and the fabulous Orangey the Cat! Love that cat! Great idea to give out Supporting Actor Oscars before the Academy started to— any chance excuse to honor Edward Everett Horton. It was really fun to make a cover for Madge Evans, someone who rarely gets attention. Good choice!
BunnyWhit — So much clever stuff in here! I love the Dickens, poets, inventor’s month, All Creatures, the Iconic White Dress— so many clever themes. The Plymouth Four is absolutely ingenious! Really enjoyed the Martha Raye section with all the fun movies like DOUBLE OR NOTHING. Honoring a dialect coach was meaningful to me especially as I have worked as a dialect coach myself of many occasions. I will have to check out the TV version of PATTERNS as I am a big Rod Serling fan. And you’re not crazy — I also always had a crush on Danny Kaye. He is adorable!
Lydecker — Another brilliant schedule from The Great Waldo Lydecker! Love him as a Guest Programmer with all those hilariously appropriate titles. Hollywood Turkeys is a clever way to fulfill the challenge, as were the excellent pet tributes like the incredible Friday the Dog!!! Not enough time to list all the ones I love — spoiler alert titles, character actors, Caught by Nick Charles, Watergate, the way you fixed the Oscars, the Epstein Brothers, Harrison Ford — it’s full of goodies!
Thanks to the three of you for participating in this challenge. I have missed these so much and I hope we can do them again so I can write a schedule next time! 😃
All that being said, it’s time to tally up the public and private votes and crown a winner 🏆
AND THE WINNER IS……
LYDECKER
CONGRATS!!!!!

Everyone!
Thanks for all the kind comments and I am honored to have won Challenge #49. I'll think about some ideas for Challenge #50 and hope to have them to you in a couple of months. Happy Holidays to All and Hurrah for the TCM Programming Challenge. Long may it live!
