Where has it gone?

Totally agree ccorriganm . I haven't seen this movie on TV myself since the early 1980's . This was an excellent version of all three A Star Is Born movies . Of course I loved all three too but this one was the very first version I saw before the other two which were just as wonderful as this one . I'm still keeping my eye on the cable channel TCM ( Turner Classic Movies ) to see if this version will be played there ( hopefully by wonderful luck it will be one of these days ? lol ) . Thanks ccorriganm for your subject post .

For some reason my friends you are both 100% right. The last time this was shown on TV was 1 week before Christmas in 2005 on public television (Channel 13 where I live) and it was edited for content. This is a film that I have observed comes and goes every 5 to 6 years. In this case, it is even more. What I am wishing, and I hope you guys are too, is that AMC shows it with the extra scene that was shown when I was growing up on regular TV, with Streisand telling Kristofferson she did not like the Evergreen song she just sang, while he jokingly asks her to marry him. She then sings the song the way she wants to. We even here the music before she starts. It is also not the same version in the DVD extras. Of all Streisand films, ASIB is the least shown, despite the fact it was always her most talked about film in her career as well the most successful one. I hope I was able to help and let's keep hoping the original TV version will be shown on AMC-TV, as they have done with other films, like The Breakfast Club, Halloween II and III, and The Bodyguard in past years. Always yours, Joseph

PS My friends, every time I have seen TCM show a Streisand marathon, ASIB is not included. It is a mystery, since this was the first film she was involved with behind the camera as Executive Producer!

Just wanted you to know...it's been on the Ovation channel a bunch of times recently. It's on right now...as I write this! And it's on again immediately following this airing. If you see this and have the Ovation channel on your cable/dish line-up, I hope you can see it.

FYI, "A Star Is Born" will be released on Blu-ray Feb. 5, 2013.

Aired this evening on Ovation channel. It's airing again twice on Sun 3/17/13 and once on Tues 3/19/13.

Brings back a lot of memories watching this. It was popular movie in my senior year of High School.

I still have my soundtrack LP.

It's on tonight in ovation tv

Redbox instant streaming has it in HD, watched it for the first time in years
