The Turner Classic Movies channel will be honoring teachers on the first of September. Who knew there were so many teacher-themed movies. Because they aren’t mystery movies I didn’t include them in the month’s schedule >>> but I thought some of you might want to check them out on their schedule.

There’s another little “who knew?” thing I found that will be on Friday, September 17. There are a whole lot of mystery movies that feature magic or magicians. I’ve never cared for magic, but I sure like mysteries >>> so maybe I should reconsider my I-can-take-it-or-leave-it opinion on magic!

On the official first day of autumn (Wednesday, September 22) the channel will be featuring movies with the word “autumn” in their titles. We moved down here to Texas from the north, and since then, I have looked forward to the fall. I miss the beautiful fall colors! Because of this, I especially enjoy sprinkling the few autumnal items I own around the house – reminding me that even without the beautiful yellow, orange, and red leaves, fall is here! Now Turner Classic Movies is getting in on the “Autumn’s Here” bandwagon. (These movies with the word “autumn” in them are followed by several good-for-Halloween black and white movies.)

Also, good news for those of you who enjoy Eddie Muller’s Noir Alley on the Turner Classic Movies channel… He’s back! There’s always a void when he’s not around…

If you’re looking for a television series or movie to watch, take a look at the TV and Movies page on my Cozy Mystery site and click on a link (or more!) which will take you to my write-up of the show.

P.S. The above descriptions of the movies were copied from the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries website.

The Turner Classic Movies channel will be presenting the four Miss Marple movies starring Margaret Rutheford during August 2021. These movies very loosely follow Agatha Christie’s books. These movies will start airing on August’s first Thursday night and will end early that Friday morning.

On Thursday, August 26, Turner Classic Movies will be showing Rock Hudson, Doris Day, and Tony Randall comedies. The three movies are not mystery movies, however, if you haven’t seen them yet, you may enjoy them (almost!) as much as I do. (I have them listed on this month’s mystery movie list so you can be sure to set up your DVRs.) Sometimes we all just need movies that are light and amusing…
