TFE The Network

In keeping with the spirit of "Upfronts Week" in which networks announce their new seasons, I thought I would do the same. It's common place now for blogs to have "series" but I am proud to say I was one of the early adopters of this 'I'm my own network!' approach. I enjoy the creation and evolution of series and it seems that barring a couple of them over the years, you (the active audience) enjoy them too.


The Film Experience will always be somewhat random since spontaneity is oxygen (and other less pleasurable reasons also interfere). Sometimes ambitions collapse before execution due to lack of funding, corporate slavery, cat illness, backlog of unfinished business or loss of passport. But series and general structure help keep things on track regardless; Attempts at discipline never hurt anyone. So here's what we hope is coming up...

• Sunday: new series Take Three (5.23) returning Naked Gold Man - weekly contemporary Oscar race discussions (5.30)
  
• Monday: returning Reader Request, Mad Men @ The Movies, Monologues (5.31)
• Tuesday: returning Curio, Tuesday Top Ten (5.25)
• Wednesday: new series Day Job (6.2)
  
• Thursday: returning Modern Maestros (6.10)
• Friday: new series Posterized (5.21)
  
• Saturday: Day of Rest (Vitamin D deficiency alert! Must experience sunlight this summer)
  
  
  
• FLOATING: returning (various days) yes no maybe so, Who's That Girl?, Streep@60, June Brides, Best Pictures From the Outside In, podcast, Great Moments in Screen Bitchery
