Haven't noticed if they've been on TV much, but here in Portland, OR, a hotbed of PC-thinking, our country library recently acquired multiple copies of the entire series (except several of the earliest entries, now considered lost films).
I still watch the films. They are available on Netflix. My favorites are the ones with Warner Oland.
Just the other day I posted on my blog about the re-issue of all six Charlie Chan books with wonderful covers:http://yvettecandraw.blogspot.com/2010/07/reading-charlie-chan.html
Not sure if I'm allowed to flaunt my blog on yours, I'm a new blogger. If it's a no-no, then I apologize in advance.
Do they still show the Charlie Chan movies, or are they considered offensive in today's world?

ReplyDeleteBoy did I love these films as a kid. I never see them anymore. Maybe they are viewed as racist?
