Wow

Thanks for this.

I love you.

I've been lost ever since TVguide.com started half-assing their once-awesome holiday guide.

Thanks very much, I also missed the TV Guide they used to do well...

I love the ABC Family Saturday in December too, all the fun animated classics

Damn I wish I had cable, that alone would be enough view for the holiday challenge, I hope the new Muppets movie will be good.

Not listed, but I may have to break out my Buffy season 3 set and watch Amends.

Given their record lately, I'm not holding my breath.

Another show to add: A Colbert Christmas: The Greatest Gift of All! 11/23 on Comedy Central

Rob must be one of Santa's elves.

Good reference list! Can we sticky?

Is this the episode when Chuck Norris goes to the manger and gives the baby Jesus the most special gift of Beard?

Updated

Another thank u for the list!

This will probably be construed as a threadcrap, but thank you.

that gives me time to watch my DVDs!

(I HATE Christmas shows!)

This is awesome. Already printed out and set for the season.

Why is the Grinch cartoon on saturday though? That's a little early for that one.

Is the original Rudolph not going to be shown this year? I didn't see it on your list. It won't be Christmas without watching Rudolph.

Yeah what's up with that?

This is not the final schedule. This is what I could find so far. I will be updating it throughout the season, as more shows are announced. Many shows won't be announced until 2 weeks ahead of time, and Rudolph and Frosty air on CBS in early Dec. Be patient. Keep checking back for updates to the schedule.

AS long as we get to see Rudolph and frosty I will be happily adding them to my holiday list. I wish we knew already what network shows are going to have holiday episodes this year.

Rob, thanks SO much for posting this list! I found three of my favorites on it already "Christmas List" with Mimi Rogers, "Holiday Affair" with Robert Mitchum, and "One Magic Christmas" with Mary Steenburgen. THANKS!

Thanks for doing this. I made last year's thread (I don't remember seeing yours in previous years; sorry if I stepped on your toes) and was going to start this year's in about a week. Thanks for saving me the time and grunt work!

I have a bookmark on my laptop at home that had a list of the season's programming and I consulted it a lot last year. I'll check and see if it's still relevant. If so, I'll pass it along to you.

Another big thanks. I love the Home Improvement Thanksgiving/Christmas episodes, I'll tivo them while I'm at work.

This is great, thank you sir.

Just made a major update which included NBC and CBS's schedule (Rudolph & Frosty!), as well as Boomerang.

I guess Cablevision doesnt have Boomerang. Too bad as all I wanted for Christmas was my Yogi Bear specials.
