As several of us on this ng don't live in America, I assume (having Googled) you mean the station that's here:

Judging by the line-up, it looks very similar to the Paramount Comedy Channel that we get in the UK on satellite/cable, although we don't get "Gilligan's Island", more's the pity!

TBS isn't really focused on comedies, as is Comedy Central (another cable station). TBS generally airs bad movies, bad original TV shows, mostly bad older TV shows, and the Atlanta Braves. It looks like they're trying to improve the quality a bit by adding reruns of shows like Seinfeld and Friends, although I'd still never watch a movie on TBS since they're heavily edited and aired with a bazillion commercial breaks.

Perhaps Mr. Turner will "fix" The Betrayal so the scenes are in regular order.

^^^^^^ "Art is often hailed as the grandest expression of human spirit, but we know now ... that the grandest expression of human spirit is whatever it takes for a man or woman to rush back into a burning building to save more people."

The Ted Turner colorization complaints are so 1989! Turner hasn't colorized anything in years, with the possible exception of black and white cartoons from the 1930s (although the Cartoon Network still shows the glorious Fleischer "Popeye" black and whites every Sunday at 9:30 ET).

Instead, look at Turner Classic Movies, a gem of a channel with the largest library of films of any place on cable -- all presented without commercials and handled with loving care. TCM even shows one-reelers (shorts, travelogues, etc.) as fillers between features and silent films late Sunday nights. For a old film buff, it's nirvana...like owning your own revival house (a la Kramer).

I realize someone was merely trying to make a joke; I'm simply saying that joke is terribly out of date.

I never understood the big complaint about that. Whenever I see a 1940's or 50's yucky! colourized film - I just grab the remote and eliminate "colour" and enjoy the film in the black and white artistry it was filmed in. No big deal.

Well, excuuuuuussssse meeee!

I am amazed at how well they patch in the non-swearing epithets. Does anybody know how they get the lines changed like that.

I believe it's now customary for the original actors to do "clean" dubs in ADR (Automatic Dialog Replacement) during production, although I may be wrong. Older films that are edited later use sound-alike actors; I remember this exchange from Caddyshack:

Original:

Ty Webb: You take drugs, Danny? Danny Noonan: Every day. Ty Webb: Good.

Bastardized TBS version:

Ty Webb: You take drugs, Danny? Danny Noonan (in a high-pitched voice): NO!! Ty Webb: Good.

remember

Ty Webb: You take drugs, Danny?

The worst examples of dubbing with "sound-alikes" ever ......"SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT" , where whoever did the dubbing for Jackie Gleason had obviously never heard him speak..and likewise with the dubbed version of "DIE HARD 2", with the most bogus Bruce Willis voice ever. Both so bad they were funny.

The best example of dubbed profanity I've heard is Scarface with Al Pacino. I was amazed how many alternate F-words they came up with, and most maintained the context of the dialog.

Anyone see "16 Candles" the other night on (I think) TNT? Same deal. Even funnier dubs.
