Call Me Ted | Official Trailer | Max

[@EvaFull]

Surprised that there wasn’t one mention of Pro Wrestling or a shot from Nitro in the ‘90’s…

[@justinsayswtf]

People who don’t understand wrestling tend to look down on it, so I’m not surprised.

[@EvaFull]

@ Except that was the 1st program(s) he aired when he went National with WTBS that actually drew ratings to the channel besides Atlanta Braves games. So it is very essential to the story even if only mentioned briefly during the doc.

Back when the cable/media industry were the cool kids. We were working hard and playing even harder. My late night Ted stories are quite memorable. 🥴

[@sbtopjosh4098]

You guys probably got drunk, felt each other and then forgot it ever happened the next day

[@boxofmoles4057]

Ted is quite the character. I worked for decades in telecom media with Ted, and met my match for late night debauchery. 🥴 He made me look like a choir boy. No judgement. We worked really hard and partied harder (and no one got hurt). I have hours of amusing stories of his antics (and mine) from those days. His off-the-cuff comments to me, when he was so hammered it was a wonder he could stand, are legendary.

Man’s one of my all time idols, had no idea this doc existed til I browsed the Max front page five minutes ago. This better be worthy of its subject. The man bought Hanna-Barbera and the MGM library, for crying out loud!

[@adamreibel9846]

In the early 80s, my father filmed Ted Turner's yacht cut off Rupert Murdoch's yacht in the Sydney-Hobart off White Rock in the River Derwent. They say that forced Murdoch to start Sky in the UK to get back at Turner. Further, some years earlier to the previous, whilst filming a yachting story on Turner's boat, another colleague (who is coincidentally regarded as one of the best combat cinematographers in the world) was told by Turner of his plans for CNN but said "no-one wants that much news" and turned down one of the first jobs he would've given. To this day, David Brill, AM ACS, watches CNN almost daily and can't get enough!

[@stevenvoorhees3107]

"'If we fail' doesn't exist in my vocabulary." That would make a great epitaph for Ted, IMO.

[@BarryWard-e4d]

I hope Eric Bischoff is in this documentary. Can't forget WCW and wrestling on the SuperStation.

[@JerryEskridge-c8l]

From WTBS, CNN, TNT, Cartoon Network, Turner Classic .movie's with owning The Atlanta. Braves, Hawks, environmentalism, America Cup winner Thank You Ted Turner

[@PIXPromosMore]

I have the Book of the same name (Published some 15 years ago); I don't blame them for leaving a detail or two out of the documentary, b/c MAN, Ted Turner lived* a life of about several dozen people. (*Yes, I know, he's still alive as of 2024)

[@boots8562]

Hopefully there will be some WCW rasslin' talk 😂

[@demondsims5411]

That has to be in this documentary. It's got to be. Wooooo!😊

[@wpflesh6510]

I remember going to the CNN towers in 8th grade and behind glass they had the Jim Crockett Tag Team Cup and the newly retired (and my favorite tag titles) United States Tag Team titles….Ted loved his wrestling so much he had the studio show on the third flood of his teckwood drive campus before he even owned Jim Crockett Promotions which would become WCW

[@Yotsukaido]

There's about 10 seconds of footage from the 80s including a Road Warriors promo, and Christiane Amanpour talking about the noise the wrestlers made on the floor above them when they were doing the news at CNN. That's it.

[@RWRogers]

Man, that was a spectacular doc series! I vaguely knew of the guy but decided to check it out anyway not expecting to finish it. I binged the entire 6 parter THAT NIGHT! We’re talking 6 or so hours in all. Well worth it! I recommend to any and all. Rather you’re fan of the guy or unaware of him… you’ll find this enjoyable, informative, enlightening, funny and FUN. Great job Warner Bro!

[@thenostalgicpodblast]

Can't wait to stream this!~ I'm an Atlantan. What a pioneer!

[@nedwart]

Been hoping for this doc for a while now. Ted's memoir on which this is based on is a terrific read.

[@JoseMorales-lw5nt]

He must have been really happy back in 1995. WCW was a ratings bonanza. TCM was starting to get viewers back into old school movies while his cable stations were utilizing satellite technology. The Atlanta Braves would go on to win the World Series. A big deal in MLB history when you realize that the '95 team put the Braves organization into untouched territory. The only MLB franchise to have won a championship for 3 different cities!❤

[@erwinl.8152]

Met him in Montana a couple of times. Jane Fonda was there once. He was so out of place outdoors. He made everyone so uncomfortable when he wasn’t blissfully happy. Very wrapped up in himself.

[@thewrestlinggod3978]

[@kingdelbert]

Hopefully this will be fair and balanced. He did some dumb things like colorizing films (especially Popeye), but he did a lot of good building the Turner empire which can still be felt to this day

[@stephennootens916]

His whole colorizing classic movies was one of the things he was most famous for. I remember the short lived cartoon The Critic were they had a character Duke Phillips who was base on Turner do the same thing as an off hand joke. The funny thing is after all the backlash over it he started TMC which at the time was one of only two cable channels devoted to classic movies.

"I started watching TV in 1970. I had hardly watched any at all before then. And I was appalled. I just couldn't believe how stupid it was. And I thought, 'My God, we're going to have a nation of idiots running around if we continue to watch this garbage.' And that's what came true." I wonder if they will include that Ted quote in this documentary? Keep in mind this man was TIME Magazine's Man of the Year for his coverage of The Gulf War.

Lots of wrastlin fans here. I am surprised at all the virtual fellatio Ted’s getting here. His politics aside, I’m sorta tired of hearing people with mind boggling wealth say things like Columbus was the man to prove the earth was round while refusing to pay even the same amount of taxes as a sandwich artist. Some of the most interesting, intelligent, and empathetic people this world has known will die at worst broke and at best in debt. At least Marie Antoinette was ignorant when she said, “let them eat cake.” Unfortunately for her the citizenry were hungry for something more savory. Damn shame what happened to her. Come to think of it, im kinda hungry. All that aside, I will be watching this immediately. You have to admire him if only for his hubris. And for bagging Hanoi Jane when she was… something
