Is it too early for a reminder that Emmet Otter's Jugband Christmas is on ABC Family on
Saturday, 12/12, at 12:15 p.m. and
Sunday, 12/13, at 11:05 a.m.?
I KNOW everybody can watch everything online any time, but this is SPECIAL. It was on HBO in 1977. We didn't even have a VCR back then. Then years later it was on Disney, I think, and I did tape it. I watched it every year. I made my boyfriend watch it one year. I think he fell asleep! I haven't had the VCR hooked up since 2008 (DVRing things right in the t.v.), and I have looked for it to be shown every Christmas.
I don't know why I did a search on it this Saturday, but there it was. It's only on those two times on ABC Family 12 Days of Christmas schedule. (DVRing it for next year.) It's funny and sweet. The songs are so good (written by Paul Williams; if you are over 40, you might know who that is). You'll laugh and cry. It's 1977 Muppets technology, but it doesn't even matter!
