Agreed, Carolyn--I also was disappointed with the program. I thought there were too many tangents at the beginning of the program.

More could have (actually should have) been said about Fox's biggest money maker. As I said in another post, TCM did almost a 2 hour tribute to Errol Flynn, and I feel Ty deserves a similar tribute--certainly more than this (less than!!!) 1/2 hour commentary. They could have ran one of the commentaries from the box sets and would have done far better.

Truly a disappointment!

Many thanks for the update guys. At least we got some crumbs from the table--too bad iit appeared like a half hearted attempt.

(Like an idiot I ended up missing the broadcast so I'll be armed and ready when it re-airs.)

Joanne, that was due to your intuition!

LOL!!! Naw, my own stupidity, Melody :-) Hopefully, I'll get my act together this Sunday--poor documentary that it is :-(.

I finally got my act together and saw this. Have to agree with everyone that it was somewhat of a disappointment. BTW, did anyone get the sense that the host was loathe to leave the spotlight?! I kept looking for photos of TP while we listened to narration but instead there was Tom Rothman, repeatedly front and center.

Agree with Carolyn that the take on TP's latter career was inaccurate--if not a bit bizarre-- considering this was the time that he made some of his most successful films.

Still, I think the off-screen footage was priceless almost made up for what was (sorely!) lacking in the show otherwise.

It sucked, and I wrote Tom Rothman and told him so.
