If you can't get enough Rankin/Bass, this is your lucky day. Or one of them; the show has run already this holiday season.

Don't believe the fake news; "Red-Nosed" has a hyphen.

(9,197 posts)I saw the very first airing of this show on December 6, 1964. It was on NBC, and aired at 5:45 CST, after AFL football. I have no memory of NBC doing any promotion for the show (I was 10 at the time), and it was like it just magically appeared. I've seen it dozens of times since, in color, HD, and big screen, but nothing will ever match that first time on my family's 19 inch black-and-white Zenith.

(57,600 posts)My first TV (fall 1969) was a 19" black and white Zenith portable. My family had TV for years before that, but this was MY first TV.
Portable in the sense that it had a carrying handle. All-tube, of course. Handwired. Fake walnut finish ABS cabinet. I think they had ABS then; maybe it was polystyrene. No power transformer.
I'd could go for a Trans-Oceanic, but I don't know why. There's not much to listen to anymore.
Zenith® The quality goes in before the name goes on.

(12,132 posts)so I don't remember seeing the first - but I don't remember a Christmas without Rudolph (or the Grinch). I can barely wrap my head around the fact that there are people alive who had christmases without them.
I've owned all those holiday shows on VHS/DVD/Blu-ray and I will always have them in whatever the next format is. My grandkids may not get much money from me but they damn sure will have cheesy holiday shows from my youth.
