    I remember that, from when I was working at KFDA-TV-10 CBS affiliate in Amarillo, Texas.

    I have been less than impressed with CBS’ holiday greetings ads in the recent years……shameless network promotion in the mold of Rankin-Bass’ version of Rudolph. I remember the days when CBS was the place for the holiday specials……Charlie Brown, Rudolph, Frosty, Twas the Night Before Christmas, and more.

    CBS is running holiday ID’s this year, though it would be nice to see this old classic see air again.

    Loved this as a kid…and still do.

    I don’t recall seeing any generalized network holiday IDs lately. You’d think they could put a wreath around the CBS eye or hang some lights off the peacock’s feathers… or something. Ivan S White is correct. It’s all about the almighty dollar now.

    Don’t remember this myself

    Remember this well.

    I remembered it from the animation style but couldn’t remember what happened. Very nice to see this one again after so long.

    Yes, I do remember when networks ran such productions. Now, the networks and cable companies seem more concerned with zombies, vampires, werewolves and other brainless programming. Thanks for this wonderful memory 🙂 .
