The latest block of shorts

I've commented several times when TCM shows a block of shorts that for whatever reason, the daily schedule on their site, the printable monthly schedule, and whatever you get for your box guide seem not to agree on the order in which the shorts are airing. Such is the case tonight. Tonight's Silent Sunday Nights lineup, starting at midnight tonight, contains five Laurel and Hardy silent two-reelers. (They'll be on again next Sunday night/very early morning, too.)

The order on the TCM website:

Angora Love
Big Business
Double Whoopee
Berth Marks
Habeas Corpus

On the monthly schedule, however, it's:

Double Whoopee
Habeas Corpus
Big Business
Berth Marks
Angora Love

The one really worth watching (well, they're all worth a look, but the one that's extra worth giving a look if you haven't seen it before) is Double Whoopee, since it's got a very young Jean Harlow in a brief appearance.
