@kjjgfkjjk ---I did the same thing in high school! I would fake sick and just watch TCM all day. None of my friends got it. I looooove this promo...I have a postcard with the Edward Hopper painting on my fridge. Memories...

I always loved when they played a dark, depressing film noir after this cheery intro!
-
This intro dates to the mid-90s. It was created using Electric Image animation software. I remember because I had it on a promo CD.

This was always one of my favorite TCM intros. Chet Baker had a really beautiful voice. The great art work was by Edward Hopper. And yes, the edgier one they replaced it with is not as nice....
Long live TCM.

When I was in high school I set my TV to turn on TCM at 6am, and this would come on, what a beautiful thing to wake up to every morning. Now I'm in film school looking for inspiration and I still remember this vividly.

I always loved this promo, and as others have said it put you right in the mood for a precode film. Maybe that's why TCM changed it - they don't consistently play precodes in the morning anymore. On the other hand the new AM promo puts me in the mood to watch Roseanne - hopefully not the atmosphere they were aiming at.

I used to fake sick as a freshman just to stay up early in the morning at watch this opening come on before a good old 1930's film. I love TCM!

I have found recollections of this intro, I too was very disappointed when TCM canned it for their new "hip" intro that doesn't set the mood for getting lost in a great classic film at all. This intro just always reminded me of a nice, quiet, tranquil Saturday morning when you were ready to just kick back and relax the rest of the day.
