A quick note--the MNT airing of "Miracle on 34th Street" will be the 1973 TV movie version, the one that USED to get lots of airplay in the late '70s and then on USA network in the '80s. Once the '94 theatrical remake came about, this version seemed to disappear. This one has Sebastian Cabot as Kris Kringle, David Hartman and Jane Alexander.

FOX depresses me. How can a channel as big as FOX not air one holiday special. It's just ridiculous how unfestive they are. I hope they lose ratings to ABC and NBC who seem to be airing the largest and highest quality programming. I want to see NBC's Greatest Holiday Moments from TV -- it sounds like an interesting sort of clip show.
