I guess they've determined that my email address is not valid? It's not even one of those throwaway accounts from Google or Yahoo. I'm still not getting any reminders. Monday evening I again asked for one tonight, nothing. Weird. Maybe it's payback for asking for "Big City" too many times. Guess I'll just have to write down all the movies I want to see.

Pat,
You received the "Friends" notice so they know that email addy is valid (it didn't bounce back to them as undeliverable).
Do you have another email addy on file with "Big City"?
For some bizarre reason, I have two. One that I can log-in to the website with and another one for logging into the message boards.
I don't know why.

No, Lynn, it's my one and only address for at least the past five years. I can't even remember when I switched anymore. When I logged in to TCM, I was logged in to the Message Boards too. I still get my monthly schedules, schedule changes, and even received two replies when I complained about the quality of "Three Wise Fools". I just can't get a reminder. I hate to send in another complaint to TCM. Grumble, grumble...
Good afternoon Pat,
Two solutions to your problem - One, use the printable version of the broadcast schedule (day, week or entire month) or, Two - subscribe to "Now Playing." According to Robert Osborne, "It's more than just a program guide, it's indispensable for the classic movie fan." Plus, there's a "challenging" crossword puzzle to test your movie knowledge! You'll get "rare" photos of your favorite stars and (catch your breath here) every month he writes a cover story, too!!! I heard a rumor that George Costanza's father saves them along with his TV Guides!
As always,
Hollis
p.s. Sorry that I can't join you for "Samson and Delilah" this evening, but the FLYERS open up their semifinal playoff series this evening at 6pm my time against the Habs up in Montreal, so I'll be listening to that online instead, eh?

Okay, the time for paranoia is here. Now I haven't received my monthly schedule by email. I even logged in online to check all of my ISP-deleted spam, and there was nothing from TCM. I contacted TCM to ask about my problem, and checked the little box asking for an email confirmation that they received my message. None. I no longer exist...
Argh!

Pat,
Is the confirmation for upon delivery or upon read? If read, it may take them a day or two to get to (You know how good they can being on top of things).
Let me know if you get the confirmation.

Lynn, I think the confirmation is upon reading, but the three previous times I wrote to them on various topics, I think I had an initial response within hours. If they have indeed drastically cut back the staff, then I can understand a delay. Just getting really impatient, missed another movie last night. 
A little thought went through my head that one of the Message Board or Suggest a Movie trolls might have the same ISP. Shudder...

Did anyone else get the updated "Friends of TCM" message? It's a marketing survey where they ask your interest in possible future endeavors byTCM such as a Classic Film online course, film themed vacations, a Classic Film buff convention (!) and filmed themed restaurant chains a la Rick's Cafe American. I doubt much of this would materialise, but the survey was fun.
