One of my current favorites is http://www.girlson.com.
Just click on the tv tab. Some samples.
ShannonStar barely contains her anticipation about "That '70s Show".
"After making numerous jealous remarks, Jackie has a frightening epiphany:
she must have feelings for Fez!"
Rosalita stitches together the madcap capers on "Friends".
"Pheebs offers Chan one of her sock bunnies, but he finds a mix tape at
the last minute in the back of his closet and gives that to her. Then Mon
gives him--Phoebe's sock bunny!"
"The Practice"
"Race Ipsa Loquitor"

Remember the Henry Winkler plot-line from last season? Well, I didn’t
either. But since a large part of this week’s “Practice” centers around
it, I will, briefly, try to refresh your memory:
Henry Winkler played Henry, the man with the bug fetish. He liked to watch
women step on bugs and he went to jail on a life sentence for a murder he
didn’t commit. We know he didn’t commit the murder because his son
confessed to Jimmy that he did it. But Dad went to jail anyway because he
felt guilty and Jimmy never told anyone. Sadly though, the son ended up
hanging himself, leaving Jimmy with terrible guilt (he’s friends with
Henry too, by the way), which brings us to the opening of this week’s
episode. Phew.
Jimmy wants to re-open the case. Henry is in jail . . .

And this excerpt from the review of Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire:
On to the “beachwear” competition. As if we haven’t sunk low enough, our contestants now show their true mettle by strutting around in bikinis and platform mules, and Mr. Multi-Millionaire slashes it down to five finalists. Most notably, my personal circus sideshow, Darva, the nurse with the Ann Jillian haircut and lots of gums, straight off Baywatch Beach Patrol, numbers among them.
The high point of the evening is the Bridal Gown Parade: the finalists flock out in full wedding regalia, which actually translates into some totally hideous Jessica McClintock junior prom dresses with satin pumps. Mostly they look terrible, and terrified--their flammable cathedral-length trains and ohmygod-I’m on-TV-and might marry-a stranger within-seconds zombie grins lend them all the look of floozy runners-up for the Playmate-of-the Year competition.

I'll see what I can do for you. You are talking commercial tv networks not the cable sort like Discovery and The Learning Channel?

From "Network TV Listings" a web site of links seemingly compiled by
Mark Hotlz:
PREMIUM MOVIE CHANNELS
Cinemax shows their monthly schedule here, and you can jump ahead to
the following month (there is a tiny > beside the August heading in
the left column - click on that for the next month listing):
http://www.cinemax.com/NASApp/schedule/ScheduleServlet?ACTION_TODAY=TODAY
Showtime offers their monthly schedule here with a "next month" under
the present claendar link for the following month:
http://www.showtimeonline.com/schedules/
The Movie Channel had a monthly guide, but it did not jump to the next
month:
http://www.showtimeonline.com/TMC/
HBO offers a "next month" guide as well:
http://www.hbo.com/NASApp/schedule/ScheduleServlet?ACTION_TODAY=TODAY
Sundance Channel offers the same (look for > and < near calendar)
http://www.sundancechannel.com/
He had an IMF channel listing but the link to the monthly and weekly
was a "Page Not Found". I went to the IMF web site but couldn't
locate where there was a monthly listing, however it might be there
and just down for service or something.
Under his Basic cable movie channel listings, the one for AMC returned
a Page Not Found, but I went to the AMC site of his main listing and
found this as their schedule listings page:
http://www.amctv.com/guide/0,,---D--N-EST,00.html
Fox Movie Channel offered a PDF download of various schedule listings
at http://www.thefoxmoviechannel.com/scheddaily.asp
There seemed to be no monthly schedule for Lifetime:
http://www.lifetimetv.com/shows/tvschedule/today_out.html
Turner Movie Classics schedule was for the current month only:
http://www.turnerclassicmovies.com/NowPlaying/Index/0,3372,,00.html
The Women's Entertainment (WE) offered current and the following
month:
http://we.tv/site/schedule/
I did not location a search function of the type you described: "input
the movie name and it would come back with movie times and channels
looking forward a few weeks or so". Holtz's list is very
comprehensive, and I will be bookmarking the page myself. : ) Thanks
for asking this question because the answer was of great interest to
me, too!
