Not a goof but more of a complaint. I get the email version of TCM's monthly newsletter, once in the beginning of the month and another for the second half. They have articles about the monthly features and the movies being shown but they don't list specifically when those movies will air. I seem to remember that they'd post the the schedule or at least a link at the end of an article about the monthly theme. I guess I'm just grateful that they still have the newsletter! Like you, I'm mainly just glad they still send out the email. Since the one we just got was probably put together when the old TCM team was in place, I wonder if we'll still be getting them in a month or two. That said, not listing the day and time of the movie they note is silly if the idea is to get us to watch the movies as it now requires one to go over to the TCM website, pull up the awful schedule link and search out the movie. I'm sure they lose viewers that way.

I'm sure they lose viewers that way. Exactly! I'm there reading the article and I just want to know when TCM is airing those features films. A missed opportunity. The TCM online schedule is a little clunky. Dating myself here but I used to get the Now Playing guide every month by snail mail. I'd go through and mark which movies I wanted to watch that month and leave it sitting on the coffee table. I'd consult that Now Playing guide often during the month. It felt like I watched TCM more because of NP. I'm glad they have the e-mailed newsletter version but like, you, I wonder if they have enough staff left to keep putting it out. I hope so!

I noticed the missing "Imports" too. I really hope they haven't done away with that as it is one of my favorite TCM things. I guess we won't know now until after August to see if "Imports" returns in September.

There are several errors in the TCM online schedule for Sunday evening. The following should be close to the real schedule. Silent Sunday Nights is showing 3 Harold Lloyd shorts so these times are approximate. (They normally just run them back-to-back and don't try to start them exactly on the half-hour.) TCM Imports is showing Daisies (1966) and Something Different (1963) starting at 2:30 AM. (Times listed are Eastern.) SUNDAY Jul 30
- TCM PRIMETIME: DISABILITY 2023-07-30 08:00 PM drama Coming Home (1978) 128m 2023-07-30 10:30 PM comedy Being There (1979) 130m
- SILENT SUNDAY NIGHTS: HAROLD LLOYD 2023-07-31 01:00 AM silent Number, Please? (1920) 25m 2023-07-31 01:30 AM silent High and Dizzy (1920) 26m 2023-07-31 02:00 AM silent Get Out and Get Under (1920) 25m
- TCM IMPORTS: CZECHOSLOVAKIA 2023-07-31 02:30 AM comedy Daisies (1966) 74m 2023-07-31 04:00 AM drama Something Different (1963) 85m 2023-07-31 05:30 AM docu MGM Parade Show #6 (1955) 25m I hope everyone is able to use the schedules I post on my web page. I try to resolve all the errors in what I post there.

I still get the email NOW PLAYING GUIDE. At the beginning of the month I review the month's offerings and make note of films I do not want to miss. After that on a daily basis, before I go to bed, I look at the cable provider's guide to see if I want to record anything showing over night.
Last night the cable guide showed at 4:30 am James Coburn film Last of the (something) Hot Shots. Instead the documentary about Z Channel aired. Drat, I only caught the last half hour. I don't know if channels do not update cable providers of changes, or if cable doesn't bother to make the changes, but I just learned the value of going to the TCM web site to review the daily schedule. I hope they air the Z Channel doc again.
