When are 'Grinch' and 'A Christmas Story' Scheduled on TV?

By Patch Editor Scott Bernarde

By now, you're well aware that it takes only a few seconds of channel surfing before you find holiday programming on TV.

That's great and all, but exactly when are they showing your favorite Christmas special, movie or show?

Wanna see the Grinch's heart grow three times one more time this season? Relax, "How the Grinch Who Stole Christmas?" (the movie) is scheduled at 8:30 p.m. Dec. 24 on ABC (WSB, Channel 2), immediately after the 1966 cartoon version.

Can't make it through the holidays without seeing Ralphie almost shoot an eye out with his Red Ryder BB gun? "A Christmas Story" marathon on TBS begins on Christmas Eve.

And while you might have to rent a video to see "A Charlie Brown Christmas," you still get "A Very Brady Christmas," set for 7 a.m. on Christmas Day on ABC Family.
