It’s been a while, but TCM has finally added some Wheeler & Woolsey films to their upcoming schedule. First up is Hips, Hips, Hooray! (1934 – RKO) starring our favorite duo, along with frequent co-star Dorothy Lee, Thelma Todd, Ruth Etting – and an extremely young Betty Grable in an extremely small part! Showing Wednesday, July 29th at 8PM Eastern on Turner Classic Movies.

On October 14th, 2009 we have a Wheeler and Woolsey extravaganza!

8:00 PM – The Cuckoos (1930)
10:00 PM – Hook, Line & Sinker (1930)
11:30 PM – Caught Plastered (1931)

January 2009 Update – The Cowboy Quarterback 1/30/2009

ww — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 02:30:32 +0000

Hi folks! Just a quick note to let you know that in honor of Superbowl Weekend, Turner Classic Movies will be running football movies *all day* on Friday, January 30th – including a repeat performance of The Cowboy Quarterback at 3:45PM Eastern time. This 1939 Warner Brothers picture features Bert Wheeler, in his first solo performance after the death of Robert Woolsey.

Last time it ran, I tried to record it and my machine hosed up somehow, so I for one am very glad to have this second chance – I’ve never seen it!

I’m not sure why they’re not running one of my personal favorite WW films – Hold ‘Em Jail – as it has one of the funniest football game scenes you’ll ever see, but perhaps that’ll come up again later in 2009.

Unfortunately, there are no more WW films on the schedule for the next few months, but we’ll keep an eye out, and in the meantime, we have a boatload of pictures and memorabilia to upload. So keep checking in – or better yet, subscribe to our RSS feed, and have new posts delivered to you!

Thanks, gang!

There are no fewer than four Wheeler and Woolsey movies coming up in next six weeks, and one film starring Bert Wheeler.

On September 3, 2008, Turner Classic Movies will be celebrating the start of football season by showing Hold ‘Em Jail, the 1932 prison football romp co-starring Edna Mae Oliver (one of our all time favorites!) and a very young Betty Grable. You’ll have to get up early; showtime is 7:15AM Eastern time.

Still on September 3rd, check out The Cowboy Quarterback; starring Bert Wheeler and William Demarest. This movie will be shown at 7:00PM Eastern.

Then, on October 1st, 2008 TCM will show a triple feature of WW films: Rio Rita at 7:30AM, Dixiana at 10:30AM and Girl Crazy at 12:15PM. We’ll be posting more information about these films very soon!
