You know, it's got me thinking, someone smart should start up an old movie channel, like AMC used to be, before they got greedy and went with TBS fare, commercials included.

I know there's Turner Classic Movies, but that's a pay channel and I can't be bothered. Just a nice, simple, quiet channel that shows the oldies... the cheapies, the obscure, the forgotten.

It seems that Hollywood has market-researched themselves up their own a$$ (NO B&W MOVIES... IT SCARES AWAY THE 18-34 DEMOGRAPHIC), to the point where you NEVER see this kind of fare anymore, even over 150 channels. But there's lots of us out there who really do want this stuff, and someone sharp should see that.

Things you never see anymore on TV: Old 50's horror flicks. Classic silent films. Ingmar Bergman. Classic Universal horror from the 30's. Little Rascals. 60's biker flicks. MGM musicals. And on and on.
