I think it was on Sunday afternoon at least twice, maybe more, pre-empting COLLEGE BOWL, as part of the "GE Fantasy Hour."Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00684124498981972463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3984964138092970663.post-1284705638881986972016-11-29T21:08:54.928-05:002016-11-29T21:08:54.928-05:00Does anyone recall if the first broadcast wasn'...Does anyone recall if the first broadcast wasn't on Sunday late afternoon, after the GE College Bowl?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15829620943724305992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3984964138092970663.post-61069844357040156622014-11-18T23:48:36.865-05:002014-11-18T23:48:36.865-05:00I saw it the very first time it was on.

They ruined it for me a few years ago by taking out the last sequence with Burl Ives singing the song and replacing it with stop-action of Destiny's Child singing it while Snowman Burl just stood there and stared at them. I think they put it back the way it was, but that was a shock to the system.John Holtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00545030511941957804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3984964138092970663.post-38197366819481474042014-11-14T18:37:39.740-05:002014-11-14T18:37:39.740-05:00Classic!

But I remember one year my parents recorded it (and several other Christmas specials) off CBS so I could watch it when exams were over! I've made a point to watch Rudolph every year since then. In recent years I've watched the dvd (since the broadcast version gets edited now for commercials), but I usually still tune in for at least a few minutes of the special whenever it's shown on tv.

But seriously...Rudolph is still one of those rare TV moments that remains precious even though the special is also available for viewing on DVD. I love that.Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06332977249074073942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3984964138092970663.post-5150634305374442242014-11-13T08:59:06.236-05:002014-11-13T08:59:06.236-05:00I can't imagine NOT watching it each year!

Would venture to say I have seen it at least 40 of the 50 years it has aired, and probably a little more than that, but who knows. It is a classic, and hopefully will remain so. I remember being so excited for its one and only airing each year. Something I guess kids these days can't grasp. Was an event. And still is, here and in many other homes, I am sure.Wings1295https://www.blogger.com/profile/08045644215235749353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3984964138092970663.post-37566868848125670442014-11-12T19:48:38.685-05:002014-11-12T19:48:38.685-05:00I was part of your Christmas in July (loved it) qu...I was part of your Christmas in July (loved it) questionnaire, and as I stated then, I have watched Rudolph from the beginning. I remember watching it in my mom and dad's bedroom on a little black and white TV. I also remember watching it for the first time in color a year or two later. I still love it and cant wait to watch Rudolph and my main man Hermey this year. Next year, I can't wait to watch it with my now 2 month old grandson.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
