I was saying the same thing last year. At least they still show March of the Wooden Soldiers

Dunno what happened to it. I do remember it though. That was more important to me than the family dinner. I also remember the annual T-day Cowboys vs Redskins games courtesy of the NFL. As an aside, does anyone remember Monster Week on Channel 7's 4:30 p.m. Afternoon Theater or WPIX's (Channel 11) Chiller Theater at midnight with the six fingered hand?
