Anyone remember Thanksgiving Day shows based on Saturday morning shows?


When I was growing up in the 70s I remember on Thanksgiving Day that the networks would have special shows based on their Saturday morning lineup. One I specifically remember was with Jim Nabors and Ruth Buzzi from the Lost Saucer. Anybody else remember these?

Yes. There was a forgettable show called "One World" that had a Thanksgiving episode. It was part of the TNBC lineup.

For me, the most wonderful memory of Thanksgiving Day programming, believe it or not, was the evening BEFORE Thanksgiving Day. For a number of years, the David Copperfield magic specials would air that evening.

I don't recall this, but I do remember one or two of the networks running their Saturday morning programming line-up on the day after Thanksgiving. It made sense since kids were home that day. It was like getting two Saturday mornings in a row.

Save the holiday season.
