New Cycle on the Western Channel
Posted: January 5th, 2009, 11:15 am
I believe each cycle runs about 4 or 5 months with maybe 4 or 5 new movies thrown in each cycle. The rest is re-runs from the previous cycle or two.
This one has been a pleasure so far. I'm thoroughly enjoying Cheyenne. It is a little more bloody than some others, but I like the show. Moira sees remakes of old stories in the series, but I don't look that deeply, I just enjoy the cowboy do's and don'ts. Unless it hits me in the face, remakes are not too obvious to me. I watched a 60's movie recently more than half way through before I realized it was a remake of a 40's film. (Can't recall names right now, Senior moment).
There are several movies coming on that should be good - Vera Cruz with Lancaster and G. Cooper, The Wonderful Country w/ R. Mitchum, Comes a Horseman has been on before but is definitely worth watching as it teams Jane Fonda and James Caan, in a 'drifter helps widow' type of movie. Maverick is always good for a break although I prefer James Garner episodes over Jack Kelly. Garner has that cute sneaky little imp about him that Kelly lacks. There are several more movies but my brain is fried right now and I can't recall names. It does look like a couple of good months ahead. The good thing is, you can always watch TCM or something else, because you know The Western Channel is going to repeat sooner or later.
