Do You Remember Rankin/Bass "Festival of Family Classics"? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

As anybody remember the non-holiday TV show for Rankin/Bass from the 70's called "Festival of Family Classics"? That show was rare and it does not show on TV anymore. I remember the show since I was a kid. It features episodes based on classic fairy tales like "Cinderella", "Sleeping Beauty" and those other great episodes like "Swiss Family Robinson", "Puss & Boots" and one rare Christmas episode that it was on that show called "A Christmas Tree". I used to love that show that it was on Saturday mornings. I hope the episodes from Rankin/Bass would be so hard to find elsewhere.
