With TCM's 25th anniversary coming up

Tomorrow, April 14 is the 25th anniversary of the day TCM went on the air, and the channel has been celebrating with a month full of special features. That's part of why Star of the Month Greta Garbo got all her films on five weeknights in the first week of the month.

Anyhow, with the actual anniversary tomorrow, there are a few things worth mentioning. I should have mentioned the Saturday night lineup last week, as TCM has been running old Essentials spots. So it's a chance to see Robert Osborne again, at least for one film a week as they've also been running the Alec Baldwin-hosted spots from 2017. (Robert and Alec's opening for the 1962 Mutiny on the Bounty is not on the schedule.) Tonight sees Robert Osborne and Molly Haskell presenting Mr. Smith Goes to Washington at 10:00 PM. I can't remember how many years ago it was that Haskell was the co-presenter.

Tomorrow being the actual anniversary, TCM is unsurprisingly showing Gone With the Wind at 8:00 PM, this being the first movie the channel ran back in 1994. I would guess that they're also going to use Robert Osborne's introduction from then (I'd also guess that there's going to be another introduction circa 2019 introducing Osborne) before the movie.
