- Its information from CNN and Entertainment Tonight that, not
- including small independent tv stations, it is being shown over 200
- times in the US this holday season... Probably one of the reasons
- I haven't watched it this year. The weekened before Christmas I could
- almost watch it on all channels... Well it felt like it. It was being
- shown on three cable channels, and one New Orleans station. The
- colorized version and the original B&W version... If you timed it
- just right, you might have been able to watch it, without ever getting
- hit by a commercial interruption. Its kind of lost its impact due to
- 'over showing.' Kind of like when MTV shows the same new video 5-7
- times in the day... Or the numerous versions of 'The Christmas Carol'
- on tv. I even noticed a colorized version of the one I watched back
- in the 1950s !
-
- Ooooh Look. Soap Boxes ! ....
-
- Later, Jim.
