TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

 

Tonight’s TCM lineup is devoted to movies in which one character arrives from another place and/or time. This 1973 Woody Allen film is a deliciously giddy comedy with which to start: Allen plays a nerd who awakens far into the future and deals with future inventions, insurrections, and Diane Keaton. Oh, and there’s a great joke in there somewhere about a VW Beetle, a car that, at the time, was thought to be almost preternaturally reliable.
