is on CBS but guess what???
is not currently streaming on Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon Prime.
So you pay for a streaming service but no Rudolph?
WHAT IN THE FRESH HELL IS THIS?
We have an OTA antenna so we can watch it but this is some bs!!!
Why?
Holiday specials, a staple of North American childhoods since the early 1960s, are increasingly falling victim to our fragmented media culture. Just as the liturgical calendar gave structure to the lives of the medieval peasants, an equally ritualized TV schedule shaped a communal culture in the era of the cathode tube: The Ten Commandments for Easter, It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown for Halloween, and then, after Thanksgiving, a slew of familiar shows and movies revisited every year: A Charlie Brown Christmas, Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Frosty the Snowman, It’s a Wonderful Life, and the many iterations of A Christmas Carol.

there's another thread bitching because the holiday shows were ONLY being shown on streaming and not broadcast.
