I haven't seen it scheduled anywhere on my TV guide.thefozz said:Anyone know if any Canadian or US networks are airing it?
Here in Canada, YTV and later their sister network Treehouse were airing it annually, but stopped a year or two ago, and don't seem to have it scheduled this year.
Possibly, but I could almost swear it aired here in Canada a few years ago, after the split, but I could be wrong. It may be a situation where the networks bought the rights to air the special for a specific number of years and it just ran out and they haven't bothered renewing the license. With all the other holiday specials available, networks aren't exactly lacking in programming material.rurulesunc said:As I remember it has Muppets, Sesame Street, and Fraggle Rock characters. With all of the legal battles that would ensue about rights on the characters. I have a feeling that it will be a LONG time before we see this on TV again.
You're right. It aired as recently as 2-3 years ago on Treehouse. I have the tape to prove it!Mickey Moose said:Possibly, but I could almost swear it aired here in Canada a few years ago, after the split, but I could be wrong.

Sad thing is, we probably never will see this again, period. Even if all the legal issues do get sorted out, there are more modern (though not anywhere near as good) Muppet Xmas specials that the networks would rather likely air.

Exactly. Unless the kids are schooled by their parents in who half the characters are, even some of the sesame Street cast, they won't know who they are.
I remember performing with my puppet and I mentioned Kermit the Frog. Out of a room of twenty kids, only two knew who Kermit is.
