[78-L] Top Banana on TCM Mon afternoon

[David Lennick]

Thanks for the tip! I rarely look at the Turner listings outside of evening and late night (grabbed all the W. C. Fields items last night, great prints). Top Banana has turned up many times on TV over the years, but not for a while (last time was probably on CKVR in Barrie in the 90s).
