now I very seldom watch it. I recently watched some free previews of the Turner classics channel and it reminded me of the old AMC format and films.

Corbu,
It seemed that TCM took over that friendly AMC format. Robert Osborne that does the introductions even has a similar low key style to Bob Dorian.
I recommend Turner highly- good choices, the MGM library of course contains some of the best old Amurkan movies, and the prints/transfers are always top drawer. They do sometimes get too involved in theme programming and the result can be a whole day without something very interesting- all Robert Young or the like.
AMC could've been one of the really great channels, but I think TCM "out-classiced" them and AMC fell into the black hole of hysterical advertising.
Cheers,
Bambi B
