1. All the President's Men

Starring Jane Alexander as Bob Woodward.

And I love Lindsay Crouse, but she has one short scene in the flick, and only a couple of lines.

What's with TNT and their star lists? Is this some kind of a joke?

Plus, who could forget Wilfred Lewis as Robin Hood? Especially playing opposite Val Stanton's Maid Marian?

2. I'm not sure what's going on with the cast lists.

I noticed that the other week with Crossing Delancey, which went up with a cast list excluding Amy Irving, Peter Riegert, Reizl Bozyk, and even Suzzy Roche. In fact I didn't recognize a single name.

Either someone's playing games or it's TCM's way of honoring the barely credited.
