I remember seeing a snippet of "Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol" on an neighbor's television as a kid and being totally terrified.

And a wonderful memory of the anticipation of the annual television airing of "The Wizard of Oz."  It was an event back then.

I do hope with all my heart that this is the end of the Fat Orange Slug's Reign of Terror.  I hope he and Malaria are packing for a fast escape to Russia with the rest of the rotten family.

It was quite chilly last night. Annabelle's been fighting another URI, and she slept beside me until 4:00 or so, wen she crawled under all the blankets to get warn.  Stella took Thatch's usal place on my bed, and Thatch slept at my feet.  It was a full house.

This morning I want to call my good friend Rob Berman and check on him.  Then, at 11:30, I will have a Zoom interview as part of the New York City Gay Men's Chorus oral history.

BK, the original broadcast of that Pied Piper was my intro to Grieg's music as well.  I had a lot of "classical" music for children on Little Golden Records, but I don't remember any Grieg. The only one I remember now was Tchaikovsky's "Dance of the Little Swans" from Swan Lake.

TOD
The Pied Piper
Cinderella (Julie Andrews)
Peter Pan (Mary Martin)
Jack and the Beanstalk (Joel Grey)
Hans Brinker (Tab Hunter)
Little Women (Jeanne Carson)
Mr Magoo's Christmas Carol
Hansel and Gretel (Barbara Cook)
Wonderful Town (Rosalind Russell)

I also remember vaguely a wonderful Alice in Wonderland, a Mikado with Groucho Marx, and several Max Liebman specials like Dearest Enemy and One Touch of Venus.  I missed his Babes in Toyland (Barbara Cook), which I really wanted to see, because I was in hospital with viral pneumonia.

Just received a prescription which they don't make in the right dosage, so I had to cut 45 pills in half with a carving knife.


Splintered pills, pill halves raining down all over the kitchen.   What a pain!

Your pharmacy should sell little pill cutters.

I never knew about the Grieg-derived Pied Piper. I'll watch it on YouTube.

It already sounds like y'all are way ahead of me on having seen so many of these treasures.
At this moment, and with one cup of coffee in me, I recall:

The Wizard of Oz
Peter Pan
Cinderella
The Mikado (Groucho)
Amahl and the Night Visitors

I'm sure more will come to mind as other people drop more hints. All of these were in glorious black and white at our house because we didn't have a color TV till sometime in my college years.

That Mikado was special for me, as seeing both that and the old Kenny Baker film on TV within a relatively short time were my introduction to Gilbert and Sullivan. I believe the Groucho was only shown once, live, and I was thrilled to find it on DVD several years ago.

The Amahl that I know we saw, which I loved, was the 1964 telecast which, to my knowledge, remains unavailable on any home video format. That recording of it remains one of my favorite things.

I began looking online for pill cutters last year when we had to break large ones up for Poe's thyroid prescription. As it happened, Nathan, who had once had a job as am assistant in a medical office, looked at them and said he could break them just fine by hand...and he was right. Of course, being able to do that depends on the size and makeup of the pill itself.

I did wonder how well the cutters are able to split the pill without splintering it.

I've loved the TV recording for years, but I still have never seen that production of Wonderful Town. It seems like I know it's available. Is that correct?

Bootlegs of it have been on several bootleg Opera DVD sites.
