    Why isn’t Mr. Magoo’s Christmas Carol on the holiday schedule? I don’t think it’s been on for the holiday season for a while.

  4. Santa Says:

    Just noticed that the November dates get a little confusing towards the end of the month. The 27th, 28th, and 30th are not listed. However, there is a space/gap between the titles to signal the next day.

  5. Kelly Says:

    Oops, sorry Santa..

    It’s fixed now :)

  6. Donna Says:

    I agree with Jean please show
    us Borrowed Hearts. It a favorite.

  8. Cait Says:

  9. sandra Says:

    Borrowed Hearts is a classic but I don’t ee it listed to air.
    Why not?

  10. Eric Says:

    First — A big thank you for providing the list!

    Next — HEADS UP, PROGRAMMING CHANGE!!!

    Looks like the Presidential Address is interrupting ABC’s schedule for
    Tuesday, 12/1.

    * Charlie Brown Christmas -ABC, 8:00 p.m.
    * Disney’s Prep & Landing – ABC, 8:30 p.m.

    Both are rescheduled for 12/8.

    DirecTV DVR did not detect change for me and I had to select again
    for recording.

    I am looking for a listing for a tv special I saw about 3-5 years ago.
    …Don’t know the name or even if the show is taped any longer. The
    special showed the grand opening of the 10 best world-wide window
    displays of the upscale department stores such as Macys, Bloomburgs,
    Harrods etc…….The show interviewed the designers and showed the
    year long preparation to create the store’s window displays. Does
    anyone know if this show is an annual tv event? And when it is
    scheduled to air? And on which channel? Thanks for your help,it was
    a great tv special, loved to see on tv the stores at Christmas and
    their window displays.

  12. Mike Says:

    You missed Olive The Other Reindeer. It is airing on Cartoon Network Saturday December 12th at 1 PM and again on Tuesday the 15th at 8PM

  13. Donna Says:

    I haven’t see the classic’s “A House without a Christmas Tree” or the Walton’s “Homecoming” on TV in quite some time please air these classics.

  14. shelba Says:

    I want to see Scrooged. It’s one of my favorites. It hasn’t been aired in several years.

  15. Anonymous Says:

    I was looking through the TV listings and it does not appear that Rudolph is on Friday the 4th; Ghost Whisperer is. Darn, I was all excited to see it again this week! LOL.

  16. KD Says:

    I am looking for One Magic Christmas to be shown again…Need it to be shown in December :)

  17. Gail Says:

    Why is “Borrowed Hearts” not on the list? Doesn’t make sense…..
    Borrowed Hearts is a wonderful, romantic, family Christmas show.

  18. Jennifer Says:

    I agree with KD. i also would like to see ONE MAGIC CHRISTMAS in December. I missed the viewing in November

  19. Warren Says:

    AMC is having a “White Christmas” marathon all day Christmas eve day.

  20. MICHAEL DE PINTO Says:

    The happy Holidays (Log-Burning in The Fire-Place Concept) is a
    Wonderful way to pass the Holidays. I would like to purchase a D.V.D.
    of the above with all of the Christmas songs and music. Please
    respond accordingly.
    Thank-You,
