The Bob and Molly Show
Previous seasons of Turner Classic Movies' "The Essentials," a weekly showcase for all-time classics, have been hosted by directors Rob Reiner, Sydney Pollack and (the current season) Peter Bogdanovich. I think I enjoyed Pollack the best, but all three have been OK.
Anyway, we just got a press release at the newspaper announcing that the new season, beginning March 11, will be co-hosted by TCM's normal prime-time host, Robert Osborne, and film critic Molly Haskell.
The press release mentions only three of the upcoming titles: "The Hustler," "The Manchurian Candidate" and "From Here To Eternity."
As much as I like Osborne, having him co-host takes away some of the show's "event" status, since we can hear Osborne's take on the movie any other time it airs on TCM.

But not having Osborne would make it like watching NBC or something.
;-p
At least TCM still airs classic movies...
They need to take the word classic out of the AMC name. Cause I think if you're showing Super Troopers, you are not showing classics....that's all I'm saying.
Say what you like, but
"Bearf-----r, do you need assistance?" is a classic line.
Actually, they already have taken "Classic" out of AMC's name. About a year or two ago, they officially announced that AMC was now just AMC (the same way that "Kentucky Fried Chicken" became "KFC").
