  1. "Rudy" is a classic movie that everyone loves. I only wish that I could see this show but I don't get that channel. :( But I am very happy that Sean is being "spotlighted". He did outstanding work in that film. (praeriedikter)

  2. Alas I don't get the channel either, but hopefully it'll turn up on the web site or somewhere eventually.

    Rudy was wonderful, and Sean wonderful in it!
