2 Christmas Specials From the ’70s Air on Free TV Tonight

Even though Thanksgiving is on Thursday, TV stations are already rolling out Christmas programming. A pair of 1970s Christmas specials are airing on TV Saturday night, and they’re some serious throwbacks we’ve never even seen before. Both are free to watch if you have a digital antenna! (Those without a way to receive free, over-the-air broadcast signals will have to check with their satellite or cable provider to see if MeTV Toons is available to them.) 1. Casper’s First Christmas While Casper the Friendly Ghost (Julie McWhirter) is the title character in this 1979 special, he’s far from solo. Several classic Hanna-Barbera characters join him, including Yogi Bear and Huckleberry Hound (Daws Butler). The gang pulls together a big Christmas party despite the antagonistic sabotages of grumpy ghost Hairy Scary (John Stephenson). MeTV Toons will air Casper’s First Christmas on Saturday at 7: 30 p. m. ET. (An encore screening will air on Dec. 21 at 6 p. m.) 2. A Christmas Story Not to be confused with the 1983 movie of the same name, this 1972 animated special follows a family dog (Daws Butler) determined to deliver his owner’s letter to Santa Claus (Hal Smith). MeTV Toons will air A Christmas Story Saturday at 7: 30 p. m. ET.
