Yes, I am sure of it. You can have them send you a reminder (one week before airing, and then again twenty-four hours before). Hopefully the issues with Dish will be resolved (if not, find someone who has TCM, and fire up the VCR/DVD-R/Blu-ray recorder). Not sure which version it will be, but considering this is TCM, there's a chance that it will be the uncut version.

Cool. I will try to check it out.
shareOkay, from what I've heard (secondhand - from a guy on YouTube who says he managed to contact an animation historian), the version airing on TCM will be the one that aired on Cartoon Network (which is essentially the one that aired on Showtime back in the '80s - censored language, but with few [if any] cuts for time). Also, it appears as if the movie was available on Comcast (or Verizon - can't remember what he said right now) VOD in 2012 - it was a different version that kept most (or all) of the footage, and kept MOST of the censored dialogue (I think Scuzzbopper's "a-hole" comment was kept, as was another word - I think it was a synonym for urine that IMDb might censor, but which is/was acceptable on some Cartoon Network kids' shows such as Regular Show [which ended up overdubbing only that one one word a few years later]).
In any case, the movie is at least airing on TV, and on TCM at that. If it's in widescreen, that would be even better (even if it's just the version released on VHS and LD). If it's a slightly longer version, even better. If it's uncensored (the "executive cut"), then I think we should all bombard TCM and/or Ted Turner with love letters. I've never seen the full uncut version (I only saw a little bit before it was removed from YouTube), and I haven't had the time to get through my tape of the cut version, so this will be a great treat (thank God TCM is available on campus!)
If it's TV-14, then it might actually be at least partially uncut (although TCM has been known to be wonky with the ratings - they rated Glory TV-MA-L, since it has an F-bomb and some racial slurs and other profanities [Kyle's mom was right, I guess - it's perfectly all right to kill people, just as long as you don't swear!])
I have it set to record; it's been a while since I watched it on Youtube, so I'd love to see it again!
shareAccording to DISH, it's PG for violence and language (the latter being a good sign, I guess? - I'm not gonna get my hopes up), and tow-and-a-half stars out of four (for the rating). And it looks like our room currently doesn't have access to TCM (or any cable channels outside of FX, I think).
