PSYCHO is on AMC now, 8 pm.

Ah, AMC! Snip, snip, snip, commercial x 7, snip, snip.

Do they show commercials?
I haven't watched AMC in 5 years.

they do...most times it's as bad as or worse than over the air channels.

That's right - they do show commercials! They never used to. TCM doesn't have them.

Yes, AMC is not what is was.

Once, local Channel 9 showed PSYCHO (my fave film, incidentally) in a two-hour slot with commercials, and they simply removed everything from Marion getting tired on the road to Marion driving as the rain starts, and her having to stop at the Bates' Motel.

(That's right, during one commercial break there went the highway cop and the changing of the car!)

Egads!

I wish I could get TCM. I look thru the listings & the only thing I want to watch is usually on TCM. In fact, this month they had the Nance O'Neil version of Cimarron!

Ooops! Now I know! I had not seen AMC with commercials!
Wasn't cable designed for us to pay to Not see commercials? What happened to that? Now we pay for them? Jeesh!

Similarly, Channel 5 showed Mae West's film She Done Him Wrong and simply kept the film running through the commercials. One of the key moments of the film (the fight to the death between Mae and Rafaela Ottiano) was thus eliminated.
