Not a lot of Bob offered up on TCM for November, but they are showing a Joel & Garda mini-marathon. For those who don't know, Joel & Garda Sloane are similar to Nick & Nora Charles in their detective ways, but there's less booze and no dog. Can you say DVD box set?

Why I have never heard of this series before. Thanks for the heads up.
ReplyDeleteWait- Busby Berkeley is directing Fast And Furious? That should be interesting.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that about Busby either, there really aren't any "women everywhere" musical scenes in it. Joel does have an eye toward the ladies though ;0)
