with only a sword cane and a half-empty bottle of brandy

This post from the always pithy & insightful Matt, at scrubbles.com, mentions the slow standardization of the TCM on-air identity, in terms of promos, bumpers, etc. I also miss that "Sunny Side of Life" spot, with the faux-Hopper graphics and the Chet Baker music. But what's really missed around our house is the old intro for One Reel Wonders, which had this kicky little bit of 20s/30s music backing it. I actually kinda like the oldschool postcard rack image that they're using but the music for it is just bland and forgettable (in fact, I've completely forgotten what it sounds like). Also, can I just say that I'd be very happy if they never did another promo spot with Ben "nepotism had NOTHING to do with my getting this job" Mankiewicz and his pal driving around LA in a badass Mustang trying to be witty.
