Viewing Notes

Not sure why but I associate CitH with holiday season. Was watching a Grinch tv film last night that had CitH which prompted me to find this tv feature on Hulu. It’s weird bc it’s a Paramount production and has the CBS watermark but Hulu (Disney) has it? Okay

A little surprised that I’m older than this production, which means I likely saw it on TV on its original broadcast (but wouldn’t have remembered). That’s if my parents tuned in but I did see this at some point in the seventies. I was a bit obsessed with the book and this is a decent adaptation.
