I bet the silents came from Madkay (did I spell that right?) who retained the rights of the prints from the unfinished Laughsmith set after the two companies' conflict.

Right, Mackinac. I think I got it mixed up with Madcay. Some additional showings scheduled for TCM:

THE FIRST SEVEN YEARS (1930), 1/19 4AM
PUPS IS PUPS (1930), 1/19 4:30AM
GENERAL SPANKY (1936), 1/25 9:15PM

And for fans of other Hal Roach comedies, from January 11-12, TCM will be holding a Laurel and Hardy marathon, while January 19 is scheduled for a full day marathon of numerous Hal Roach shorts featuring the likes of Charley Chase, Harry Langdon, Thelma Todd and Zasu Pitts (and Thelma Todd and Pasty Kelly, along with Kelly's three shorts with Lyda Roberti), The Boy Friends, and the Taxi Boys.

This is exciting! Could this possibly mean that a DVD release may happen around that time? If this set is from Mackinac, I wonder if Paul has any info about all this.

Maybe it's one of those shorts that are left unfinished?

I'm looking forward to finally seeing complete versions of "Olymic Games" and "Seein' Things"! And I'm hoping to be able to somehow record the entire silent marathon, as well as the January 19th marathon.

For the Roach fans, here's what's planned for the month of January:

• Jan 4 8PM - Jan 5 4:45AM "Our Gang" (1930 - 1937)
• Jan 5 4:45AM - 8PM "Our Gang" (1922 - 1929)
• Jan 11 8PM - Jan 12 8PM Laurel & Hardy
• Jan 18 8AM - Jan 19 1AM Misc 1/2-hour TV specials/shorts
• Jan 19 1AM - 4AM Harry Langdon
• Jan 19 4AM - 5AM "Our Gang"
• Jan 19 5AM - 11AM Charley Chase
• Jan 19 11AM - 2PM "The Taxi Boys"
• Jan 19 2PM - 4:30PM "The Boyfriends"
• Jan 19 4:30PM - 6PM Thelma Todd & Zasu Pitts
• Jan 19 6PM - 7PM Thelma Todd & Patsy Kelly
• Jan 19 7PM - 8PM Patsy Kelly & Lyda Roberti
• Jan 25 8PM - Jan 26 8PM Feature films, including Laurel & Hardy, "Our Gang", Hardy & Langdon, "Topper," and other Roach series/stars

Well, I HOPE they'll be complete. Do we know for sure what sources are being used? I don't want to get my hopes up too high, but it'll still be an exciting month. I can't wait to see so many of these silents, hopefully in more complete forms that I've seen (like Saturday Morning, Dog Days, No Noise, etc)

Based on the times, I would say Every Man For Himself, Fast Company, Buried Treasure, Monkey Business, and Olympic Games are not complete. Hopefully, those times are just placeholders, and those short times are just making up for the extra time listed between shorts.

Good point. I had my hopes up for more complete prints because TCM usually tries to get the most complete sources available when it comes to airing movies. Like zootmoney mentioned, some of the times given could be placeholder times, but if that isn't the case, it seems odd that TCM would only have a shortened version of "Monkey Business" on hand.

Well we at least know that "Buried Treasure" and "Monkey Business" do exist in complete form. It's gotta just be a placeholder or a mistake. BTW, in another forum, Paul from Laughsmith stated that these are NOT his versions of the films and that he had nothing to do with whatever will be aired on TCM.

I could still use better copies of Mary, Queen of Tots and Olympic Games. As for the rest, we may be surprised about what we see.

"Saturday Morning" and "Seein' Things" are the two films on the list I'm most looking forward to, since they're the two that I've seen the least footage from. The rest of the films will be a quality upgrade I'm sure. I also like the fact that they're not bothering with "Derby Day" and "Dogs of War", or some of the other more common silents. It's also nice that they're concentrating on the Pathe films, since the MGM silents have already been released on DVD. The only downfall will be that TCM will probably plaster their logo in the corner of the screen at all times. A small price to pay for seeing (hopefully) restored, uncut Our Gang silents.

I'm not positive, but I think TCM only keeps the logo on shorts when they're being shown as fillers. During marathons (IIRC), they keep the logo off, outside of the usual pop-up every twenty minutes to remind viewers what channel they're watching.
