Hello there as you know TCM classic movie channel has been around for a long time for almost 20 years now. They are known for showing black and white and color movies from the 1930s, 1940s, 1950s, 1960s. including some movies that have some PG bible swear words that slipped past the censorship. Their well known movies are "The Wizard of Oz" "It happened one night" "King Kong" "Ben Hur" movies with Shirley Temple in it.
I was born in the 1980s. I grew up watching old school movies and TV shows in the 1980s, 1990s with my mom and sisters back when more black and white movies and TV shows were on TV. But now the only TV channels that show black and white movies and TV shows are BYU TV, TV Land (with annoying popup ads), AMC sometimes shows black and white movies (with annoying popup ads) Right now TCM is the only channel left that shows black and white movies.
Now I don't know about you but I prefer color movies even Technicolor movies like "The Wizard of Oz" "Ben Hur" "The Ten commandments" and so on.
Anyways my point is gray movies tend to bore me because I'm used to color in cartoons, live action.
Yes alot of the old school TCM movies are available on DVD or on the Internet videos.
I'm ready for the TCM TV channel to take more black and white movies off the air for good.
Let me tell you the reason why.
1. Most people I know today prefer color movies and more exciting action movies even the ones with alot of PG-13 and R rated profanity, sex and extreme violence which I'm very against.
2. Most people don't know who the actors and actresses are from the 1930s, 1940s, 1950s.
3. Most people rather watch more modern TV shows and movies from the 1960s to today including TV-14 and MA rated crude humor shows that have toilet jokes or swearing which I'm also against.
4. Black and white movies are way behind the times and they don't relate to people living in the 2000s or 2010s because the old movies have people smoking, drinking wine, or gambling. But people today know that it's bad for them. Also there's no rock and roll music until the late 1950s.
5. Most people now watch those black and white movies on DVD or on the Internet.
Anyways I'm ready for TCM to go through a big change just like AMC did in 2002. (Of course I don't like popup ads or end credits shrinking) I'm ready for TCM to retire alot of their old black and white movies off the air for good because most people don't watch them anymore. Now's the time to tell TCM to start showing more modern 1960s, 1970s and 1980s and 1990s movies.
