Why is this never on television?


It's no All the President's Men, but as far as mainstream topical/political thrillers go, this film is top of the line. It's a class act through and through, made over $100 million in 1993 (which by today's box office would be nearly $200 million) and yet it's never ever on television. A Time To Kill, My Cousin Vinny- tons of legal/socially relevant films of the early 90's still on heavy rotation, but not this. What gives?

Pelican Brief is on television all of the time. Comcast Infinity keeps it permanently on their available free movies under Thriller or Movies Highlighted. This movie was extremely successful world wide.
