While it seems like the CW ignores everyone but 18-34 year old women from Monday – Wednesday, the movies it just announced for Sunday nights for the rest of the season are programmed for old folks, like me. The CW will air these movies following the repeats of Everybody Hates Chris, The Game, The Drew Carey Show, and Jericho.
Dec. 7: The Cutting Edge (1992)
Dec. 14: Spaceballs (1987)
Dec. 21: Three Amigos! (1986)
Dec. 28: Revenge of the Pink Panther (1978)
Jan. 4: Trail of the Pink Panther (1982)
Jan. 11: Carrie (1976)
Jan. 18: Mr. Mom (1983)
Jan. 25: Antitrust (2001)
Feb. 1: Throw Momma From the Train (1987)
Feb. 8: Teen Wolf (1985)
I remember going to see Carrie in high school and being genuinely freaked out. Today, there’s worse on cable every night.
And while it will be difficult to do worse than the MRC produced shows those movies will replace like Easy Money and Valentine, those movies might test that bottom. However they were likely very, very cheap to acquire.
I did have a chuckle the other night when I saw “Driving Miss Daisy” was scheduled on the CW.
no way Spaceballs does worse than Valentine and Easy Money. The schwartz is with them. It will do just as badly or better, but no worse.
Hear, hear! Never underestimate the schwartz.
“The Cutting Edge” might not do so badly either. Pretty people acting snippy with low production values — right up the CW’s street.
Woohoo! The original Cutting Edge with D.B. Sweeney? Hockey player turns figure skater…cheesy fare perfect for the holiday season
!
After two seaons of no-audience, it will interesting to see what cheap movies (in terms of rights) will do!
Carrie was a decade before my time, but I liked the Cutting Edge. I’d watch it again!
Carrie and Space Balls are the only good ones on that list. Sorry, Three Amigos annoyed me, I know many think it was a great movie.
Why dont they air movies like Ben Afflecs directorial debut:
“I Killed My Lesbian Wife, Hung Her on a Meat Hook, and Now I Have a Three-Picture Deal at Disney”
A movie I havent seen in a long time is a low budget movie Miracle Mile that Anthony Edwards, back when he had hair, is a guy who gets a phone call that WW III is about to begin and in real time tries to get the woman he just met on the last plane out before the missiles arrive. It was like “24″ before there was a “24″. The ending was somewhat depressing but it was a suprise.
