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.
