    Why doesn’t the voice match up to the movies today. December 18. A couple of my favorites are on but turned the channel.

    I’m disappointed Three Godfathers with John Wayne is not on the schedule. It’s my favorite John Wayne movie.

      And where’s Miracle on 34th Street; It’s a Wonderful Life???

    I am guessing many of the streaming services now own the rights to most of the Christmas classics. We watched the original “Miracle on 34th Street” on Amazon Prime (for free b/c it is included in the subscription price)
    But what happened to “Since You Went Away”??
    Since it begins with and ends with Christmas, TCM always aired it during the holidays.

      Unfortunately, as of today, it is not scheduled to air on any channel this holiday season (2022). The version with George C Scott is my personal favorite, very disappointing.
