It used to be an annual TV event. Now it’s available more readily, even if you don’t have a copy at home or can’t find it on a streaming site. TBS is playing this 1939 musical classic a few times this week, and The Wizard of Oz always is a treat to watch, whether or not you have kids around to watch them watching it. After all, there’s no place like home – especially now.
