Who’d a thunk that sixty years after it first aired, the stop-motion Christmas special Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer would continue to be shown on network TV? After being on CBS for decades, this year it returned to NBC, where it premiered in 1964.
This time it ran for 75 minutes, with the extra 15 minutes used for more commercials, rather than an introduction to note the anniversary. On the plus side, Rudolph looked brand-new, even better than on my Blu-ray copy.
Fifteen years ago here, I answered the question “Hermey or Herbie?” As heard in this video clip, there’s no confusion why there’s always been some confusion about the wannabe dentist elf’s name.
Ahhhhh, I wanted to see the whole thing! We do not get certain NBC shows on ROKU. At the very most we get SNL in segments, the next day.
Tom and I had a huge argument over switching from Dish to Roku to save a minor yearly fee. I knew we would lose all oor local networks.
But that segment does look superb!
