We've all seen this more than any movie ever, but it's still the best. Snuggle with your grandchildren.

1. What Can Be Bad

iT IS A good movie. The people are good, theme is good and it is a pleasant alternative to many things. To me it brings back lovely memories.

We're watching the Tony Awards - great opening.

[Jazzgirl]

4. Thanks!

Just changed to it.

[Rhiannon12866]

5. K&R! Thanks for the heads up!

TV is pretty much a wasteland on weekends...

My favorite movie from childhood, couldn't wait until it came on, and I'd watch it with my Cairn Terrier...

When I was in college, I got to see it on the big screen and was astonished at all the details I'd been missing...

6. Am I the only one who never got over being terrified by it as a kid?

[vanlassie]

21. Nope. Me too.

7. Not a Boomer and don't have grandchildren

Think I'll play some violent video games instead

[malaise]

10. LOL

You're the best - watch the Tony Awards

[taterguy]

13. Why does the Sopranos guy have an awards show named for him?

[malaise]

16. Bwaaaaaaah hahahahaha

[cyberswede]

9. When I was a kid, this was on TV once a year.

My college-age sister would rent a color TV just for the night, so we could fully appreciate it when Dorothy opens her door to see Oz for the first time. My dad built a special table just to hold the rented TV once a year.

I'm off to watch on our 50" HDTV with my 9 y.o. right now! Progress!

[MADem]

22. WOW--your sister was a sport!

I watched it in glorious Black and White more often than I care to recall!

[bluerum]

11. Wish I had cable at times like this.

[redwitch]

12. Thank you!

I would have missed it and it is always such a pleasure. I went to an interactive showing a few years back, so much fun! There were prizes for costumes and some were so clever. My favorites were the 5 hairy men who all came as Dorothy (as a group), complete with pigtails and ruby slippers. And another group came as the Emerald City.

14. After watching it several times, I was shocked when my friends told me

that part of it was in color!

Even in Black and White, I was scared, and still am by the movie. Watching it now.

[glinda]

15. "oh my"

[Gregorian]

17. I finally got the pictue I've wanted.

Dick Cheney and his media machine

[xiamiam]

18. came on once a year when i was a kid and sometimes skipped a year and peter pan would play instead

big event in those days..i never tire of it..dont have cable or watch tv now but i'll be there in spirit..somewhere over the rainbow ...

[no_hypocrisy]

19. I quote The Wizard of Oz.

On a side note, if you can find a copy, read John Lahr's biography of his father, Bert Lahr (the Cowardly Lion). Great read with some good trivia about The Wizard.

[HillWilliam]

20. We watched every year while I was growing up

This year it overlapped True Blood. TB won.

I'm a gay man. It's expected that I could quote every line of Wizard of Oz. If ya can't, they take your Teh Geh card away!
