The television schedule throughout the 20th century was mostly "part-time". There was plenty of open air time for special presentations or coverage of live events.



During the holiday season broadway plays were adapted for television broadcast, sometimes starring the original broadway cast in the roles they made famous.



Carol Burnett starred as Princess Winnifred, in the television adaptation of, "Once Upon A Mattress", in 1964, again in 1972 and as Queen Aggravain in the 2005 version with Tracey Ullman.



Share the joy and magic of the holiday season with Carol and the Gang!
