CBS Brings Back Sunday Night Movies

[left-of-center2012]

CBS Sunday Night Movies will return October 4 for a six installments featuring films from the Paramount Pictures library. To make room for the films, the Sunday edition of Big Brother will relocate to Monday starting October 5.

The network first resurrected its Sunday movie franchise in late spring to help fill the void left by the COVID-related production shutdown cutting short the seasons of most CBS scripted series.

Sunday Night Movies is programmed thematically, with “back to school”-themed comedies Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Old School and Clueless followed by the Halloween-timed Scream. The list also includes Star Trek Beyond (CBS also is reairing CBS All Access’ Star Trek Discovery this fall) and Coming to America.

Here is the CBS Sunday Night Movies schedule for October/November:

October 4
OLD SCHOOL — 9:30-11:30 PM, ET/9-11 PM, PT

1. Frustrating to watch broadcast movies that have been edited for length and include commercials ...

streaming has spoiled me rotten.

2. There are times when I just can't bear to watch network movies.

When I see someone like Samuel L Jackson say "maggot farmer" I just
have to start looking for something else. I can't take it.

3. Oh yeah ...

watch "Goodfellas" next time it airs. The scene in the desert between DeNiro and Pesci is so dubbed it's actually hilarious.

4. NBC Saturday Night at the Movies.

In the 60's and 70's that was our-with family and friends- Saturday Entertainment- Not much of a social life when you're only I guess in your early teens.
