The Wizard Of Oz

There were many movies that, when they came on TV were events. The Ape movies, Wizard Of Oz, the original Universal Monsters movies. It's what made them special and I love the fact I can dig them out to watch whenever I want these days. Even though it's less of an event like when you only had one chance and way to watch a movie.

Oh yeah, that movie was a big yearly event in our house too. Back in those pre-video days, I saw that film far more times than any other, yet it was still a big deal every time it aired. Those were different times alright, compared to these days when you can watch almost any film you want, when you want. Regardless, the film is an absolute classic.

I just bumped into the middle of this movie on TBS. Anyone here remember when the airing of this was an event every year? It usually came on during Easter Break on a Sunday. I always begged to stay up and see it. We had a B&W TV so I didn't know the OZ part was in color until I saw it at a friend's house. And I just about fell outta my chair when the horse of a different color actually changed colors! I guess I just miss when stuff like this was a big deal.
