He Made the Suit Look Good
Before there were six-pack abs or full-frontal nudity, there was Cary Grant, an actor who made women swoon and men sulk with nothing but a double entendre and smile. Majestic HD celebrates the man who was the inspiration for 007 with 'Houseboat,' co-starring Sophia Loren, and with one of his greatest hits 'The Awful Truth.'

Deja vu All Over Again
Before there were instant replays, 50 million dollar contracts, and Jose Canseco, there was a little league team called The Bears. GuyHD TV honors the lovable scamps who put the fowl in foul ball with 'The Bad News Bears in Breaking Training' and 'The Bad News Bears Go to Japan.'

HALFTIME HUMOR
Need a break from the broken bones of NFL football? Or perhaps the end zone dance is making you yawn rather than yell? Kick-off this Columbus Day with Heaven Can Wait starring Warren Beatty as a deceased quarterback who returns to earth for one last pass. Premieres October 10th

BOOGEYMAN DAYS,
BOOGEYMAN NIGHTS
Monsters HD presents an all-star, top ten line-up of the most terrifying 'boogeymen' to stalk the silver screen. See Freddy, Jason, Leatherface, and more in a dusk to dawn, 21 movie marathon -- all uncut, all Halloween weekend long. Airs October 28 - 31

Coming Back

The sad reality is the rough outline may not differ much from the final schedule.

Just when they started advertising in Best Buy. James is going to mess this up again. How the heck to they expect to sell this stuff; don't they realize there is only so much people will tolerate. We need to cancel Voom to make point. Is it work $5.00 for three new movies for the whole month. Hopefully this will change or that's it for me. It's not the $5.00, it is the point. It doesn't seem that Dish reads this forum or they don't care about the programming. They can just say "we have the most HD channels". I just have one question for Charlie, is this compelling programming?

All I can say is check out Full Frontal Fashion on Ultra. Some of the bikini action is worth at least a couple bucks.

One of Majestic HD's two highlights for October is their Master of the Macabre presentation in which they show two Vincent Price horror films: The Pit and the Pendulum, and The Last Man of Earth. Ok, Mr. Price was involved with well over a hundred feature length films and the best VOOM can do is replay these same two once again. Ugh!

...is VOOM going to get off their asses and start showing at least something new this month.

I wish I could tell you something different than what you know already.
