As a rabid film connoisseur, I'm very thankful for TCM, and I'm grateful they've finally started going truly HD, and I hope they acquire more HD transfers. There's just one thing I would change at TCM, if I could, and that's the intros to the films. I'm not talking about the commentators, they're fine, it's the CGI graphics. TCM is about the history of American motion pictures, and that history was at its height in the '30s and early '40s during the era of movie palaces and Hollywood showmanship. It would be nice if they could recreate what it was like to get your ticket at those old boxoffices, then walk into a plush lobby, go up a grand staircase, and walk into a huge, balconied auditorium with a huge curtained screen that then opens as the film is about to begin. But instead, TCM offers pseudo cityscapes that have nothing to do with movies. It's like when AMC back in the '90s used to introduce movie with a recreation of a 1940's radio show with J.K. Simmons as the announcer. WTF?
