FAMILY FEUD


C. 2012 Miser Bros Press/Rick Goldschmidt Archives

Just solved a family dispute over a line in Rankin/Bass' Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town (Which aired on ABC FAMILY tonight), with Arthur's copy of the script right next to me.  The line in question:  "Willy Willow, Peter Pine, release the Kringle."

ABC NEWSONE



Looks like we are on ABC NEWSONE, so if you are an ABC Affiliate, you can air our segment within your program for the holidays :)  Frank Mathie did an AWESOME job!


My mom saved a few VHS copies with my photograph for the RANKIN/BASS cover (Which I was properly credited on)

Maybe CBS will air some of the footage we shot on NEWS programs and other shows leading up to the re-broadcast
