1. Maybe that particular production first aired then, but that song had...

been played on many TV shows many years before then.

6. The 1964 production

is by far the most well known and beloved though.

2. I remember the first broadcast.

We only had an old black and white tv ( we didnt get our first colored one til 1973... which was an old hotel/motel model ) and I remember dancing to the songs with my sister.

I made sure to see it every Christmas growing up and well into adulthood. I still love it.

Rudolph and How The Grinch Stole Christmas are synonymous with Christmas still for me.

3. I remember the family driving to our great aunt and uncle's home to watch

that bcast as they had a color TV.

9. $500,000. a staff of 100 craftsmen and technicians labored for a year

stop motion is very painstaking. and they build 22 room sized sets. A lot of work went into these old shows. glad they are still appreciated.

8. The two I don't miss: Charlie Brown Chrismas and Rudolph. I do usually see the other 2 mentioned.

I get saturated after a while. If Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol is shown, I will watch it as well.
