Robert Osbourne's Coming Back!

When TCM announced Robert Osbourne was taking a vacation, it was supposed to be for three months which have come and gone.  I went on the website today to look for the name of the awesome song in the October promo (Saw You Firstby Givers) and saw Robert's coming back on December 1.  Yippee!!!  Granted, it is still a long time to wait, but the guest hosts have largely sucked.  The actors were universally horrible.  The movie critics have been better since they at least are used to talking about movies and not themselves.  Thank God, they had Ben Mankiewicz as evening host for August's summer of the stars.  Should have just turned the whole thing over to begin with.  And TCM has now started taking the back bumper off of movies which I'm hoping is just because the hosts have been bad.  If someone introduces a film, I want them back at the end for a recap.

Yes, I am a TCM addict.  It wasn't so bad when I had my Tivo since it was old and could only record one thing at a time.  Now I've got a DVR that can do two programs at once so I don't have to chose between an interesting looking film and something else I want to see. I even subscribed to the Now Playing magazine a few months ago to better track what movies looked good.
