Elvis not on TV

[Elizasong]

So now that we are into August I always look forward to see what Elvis movies are being played on TV. One cable station in particular Turner Classic Movies usually has a few Elvis movies playing on the 16th. Well this year they are showing no Elvis movies in August. Then I searched for Elvis movies on TV Guide site and there are really not a lot stations playing Elvis movies. I'm dissappointed. I know I can watch the movies I have but I usually like seeing the movies I can tune to that I don 't have. This is the first time I've seen this. It seems strange.

[Tommy]

Yes, that is very weird. I always enjoy watching them on TV. I really love TCM.

[Unchained Melody]

I like TCM and AMC. American Movie classics.

[Elizasong]

Yes, Bradley AMC is another one to show Elvis movies but even they didn't come up. Encore is playing Wild in the Country a couple of times this month and Family Net is playing Clambake. that's it for the month that I can see.

[Tommy]

Thanks for the info.

[girl-do]

oh that´s weird i was sure that in the us they will play him all the time, because it´s the most .
But for German People on August 15 - Arte will have Elvis Stuff the whole day.

[elvislina]

yeah that´s sad we not seen so much great movies in tv so much anymore. kinda bad

Found this for the UK Kudos to ya'll, it seems it'll be slim pickins in the USA!

I did the same search on TCM, and was sadly disappointed with the results...

[Wendy56]

No matter what....... We still have YouTube!!!!!!!! God bless internet and YT. *blush* :]

To be honest, I'd rather just watch the movies themselves on DVD without the commercials.

and get my fill of ElvisTV that way

[Elizasong]
