Was looking forward to watching Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid Friday night

[KS Toronado]

on TCM but something went wrong and they aired a bunch of other stuff instead. Did this happen across
the entire nation or did my cable provider have an isolated problem?

1. Happened in NC too

[rurallib]

2. We had a black screen with no explanations or anything

We have YouTube TV - ETA we live in Indiana

[Oldtimeralso]

3. TCM

Turner Classic Movies was off the air in Iowa on Direct TV.

4. I've noticed it before: some TCM movies have limited streaming rights

5. Well if this was a problem across the entire nation

seems like it would be nice if they could replay it.

6. UnrelateI watched a Steve Martin musical, Pennies from Heaven

with Bernadette Peters and Christopher Walken on Fri on TCM. I'd never seen it before. Never saw Steve Martin play a bad man before.

Maybe DMDWP is available on demand on TCM now?

11. Such a great underrated film

I know a lot people might be put off by the song and dance numbers, but even the way it was voiced-over made it unique and special.

I remember thinking it was strange that it was rated MA, a Steve Martin movie, but watching it again reminded me why!

7. Great movie

8. TCM Glitch

It happened to me in DC. Ben came out to introduce the movie but after that, the movie that played on screen was the movie that they had just shown called "Carnival" with Ann Baxter. I'm guessing this was a nationwide thing.

9. It didn't play in Ohio

I’d recorded it but when I went to watch it there was about 10 minutes of black screen with no sound and then Ben Mankowitz was back on for the closing comments and hand off to the next movie. They ran a bunch of previews and ads and then the movie Carnival Story for the remainder of the 2 hour slot. I was very disappointed but fortunately our library has the DVD so I put a request in.

10. Yep, my DVR recording was kaput

Some colorized-looking B-movie instead. I was disappointed too.
