BING ON TCM - JUNE/JULY 2011

After the Bing Crosby marathon earlier this week, I was hoping TCM would be showing a lot more Bing in the summer. Not much going on in June or July, but a little Bing is better than no Bing at all.

Reportedly, TCM will be showing more Universal/Paramount movies this year, so I am hopeful different Bing items will be shown, but here is what we have so far to start out the summer:

JUNE 3 - HIGH SOCIETY (1956)
JUNE 7 - ROBIN AND THE SEVEN HOODS (1964)
JUNE 26 - A CONNECTICUT YANKEE IN KING ARTHUR'S COURT (1949)
JULY 14 - ROAD TO MOROCCO (1942)

BING MARATHON ON TCM

It's going to be a day early, but TCM is honoring Bing on his 108th birthday with a marathon of his movies, and well as a short Bing did in 1957. It is going to be a terrfic day of Bing tomorrow...

BING CROSBY ON TCM

Unfortunately the next few months on TCM does not have much Bing Crosby scheduled. With the month of May being the birth months of both Bing Crosby and Bob Hope, you would think there would be more scheduled: JUNE 7TH - THE ROAD TO BALI - 7:45AM JULY 17TH - ROAD TO MOROCCO - 8PM
