Karey Dunken: LadyMerton, TCM seems to do fins showing older shows. And older demographics aren't the kiss of death on cable. Fox News channel is one of the most successful cable channels, and its median viewer age is 65.
Renita Sefton: I think so, especially if they focused on harder-to-find classics such as the NBC dramas of the early 50s. Even when it began TV Land was mostly focused on sitcoms from the late 50's through the 70's, and ignored anything from 1948-55 (except I Love Lucy). A channel modeled on TCM could be a bit more serious/informative, like how Robert Osbourne introduces each movie with some facts about it.A potential problem though is that very early television consisted of live broadcasts, so few shows were actually recorded. For the ones that do exist, though, I really think they deserve to be resurrected and rebroadcast. There are some real masterpieces to come out of that time, such as the dramas Patterns and Marty (both of which were made! into films that have been aired on TCM). Even the comedies are still funny, though a bit slow for modern audiences. I'd love to see a channel dedicated to that kind of thing....Show more
