I think that has a lot to do with it. I have Great Pumpkin and the Christmas one on DVD. I would not have watched the broadcast anyway. I remember taping "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" during one of its annual showings in the late 80's or early 90's. When the DVD came out, I discovered that the TV telecast had been cut; probably because there are more commercials in a 30-minute broadcast than there were in the 60's.

Yup. More commercials.
