was checking for new movies on the DVR TV guide and just happened to notice these running on New Years Day

the trilogy of Sergio Leone "spaghetti westerns" that made  Clint Eastwood a star play on Encore in their order of release starting @ 5:30am with A Fistful of Dollars (1964) followed by For a Few Dollars More (1965) and finishing with The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966). the three repeat starting @ 12:30pm pacific

the ten episodes of the serial spy thriller Berlin Station play in consecutive order on the EPIX1 channel starting @ 7:00am and ending @ 5:00pm pacific time. I watched it weekly thru it's first season and thought it was excellent mystery and suspense with lots of "plot twists" and pretty good action. was very well acted by the principle characters . definitely worth a look IF you are into "spy stuff"

I always have the Syfy Twilight Zone marathon on one TV
