They are finally running them but they are not on the schedule. When a movie runs that's under 70 minutes, they fill up the 2 hour slot with an episode. No opening titles, just the episode title and into the show. They run around 22:50 and appear to be remastered. Just a heads up.

I recorded about a half a dozen so far, how many did you get ?
It ain't easy getting them since they are not listed, most of the time they follow the older movies from the 30s and 40s. Those movies are always under 80 minutes long. I always have to check the original running time of the movies before I plan on recording. I have some Ford theatre episodes with the original complete openings, I might use those openings to add to each episode when I transfer them all to disc.

About the same as you, around a half dozen so far. Its a pain having to check every day to see how long the movies run. I set my DVD recorder for 25 minutes after the hour, just in case.
