I know there's already a thread on this schedule, but it didn't go past 2:00 am; nonetheless...an awesome, complete lineup, especially with four Burt Reynolds movies on TBS (he was instrumental in helping Jimmy Carter -- who just died at 100 -- create the Georgia Film Office while he was governor, which would be the stepping stone to Georgia becoming the new mecca for film and TV production in the South (in 1990, it was Orlando, Florida)).

Sorry about that (though Ryan still started out young).
