Hello Jonathan, and welcome. The list is usually pretty quiet, a fact that
makes me regret that I don't post more often just to keep discussion
flowing. I'm thinking of doing a monthly "group view" thing where we
discuss one particular Fay Wray film, because we've never really done such
a thing.

Yeah, once you get past those, there really isn't very much else available!
But keep digging...

I can't help you there, but I'll say that I was in the same situation for
the longest time, desiring NOTHING but TCM and finally getting it last
summer. It's the only channel I watch (which means the fact that it's been
either completely out or showing digital garbage for the last few weeks
through my cable company is supremely frustrating to me!).

Fay Wray is featured on Wednesday the 25th. Starting at 8 pm Eastern,
they're showing:

King Kong (8 pm)
The Richest Girl in the World (10 pm)
Viva Villa! (11:30 pm)
One Sunday Afternoon (1:30 am)
Captain Thunder (which I've never seen) (3 am)
The Finger Points (4:30 am)

I *might* be responsible for this, as a few months ago I suggested a slew
of Fay Wray movies, and also suggested a Fay Wray feature day. So I'll
pretend they're doing it for me (and for us). :) Must be for my birthday
(which is the 24th).
