"Get Lost In TV" with getTV, as the network kicks off the all-new block with a tribute to the 1957 crime comedy series The Thin Man,
every Wednesday in March at 8 pm ET/5 pm PT. The weekly block, which
premieres on March 2, puts the spotlight on a different rare television
classic each month, airing five episodes back-to-back to create the
ultimate vintage binge watching experience. Future blocks will highlight
Gene Roddenberry's 1963 military drama The Lieutenant, starring Robert Vaughn, and the incomparable James Stewart in the 1971 family comedy The Jimmy Stewart Show, among others. Based on the fan-favorite 1934 Pre-Code mystery of the same name, The Thin Man
series stars Peter Lawford and Phyllis Kirk as married sleuths Nick and
Nora Charles, getting wrapped up in shady schemes and solving crimes
with their wire-hair terrier Asta. The series was the first program
produced by MGM, and was celebrated by critics for its portrayal of Nora
as a true leading lady instead of just part of the scenery. Notable
guest stars include iconic crooner Frank Sinatra, funnymen Bob Hope and
Don Rickles, and Golden Age starlet Nina Foch, as well as Gavin MacLeod,
Marion Ross, Robert Quarry, and more.
