Countdown to Christmas: 'Twas The Night Before Christmas (The Paul Lynde Christmas Special)(1977)

 Veteran comedy writers Dick Clair & Jenna McMahon, who'd been working on The Carol Burnett Show, among other things, created a whimsical adaptation of Clement Moore's 'Twas The Night Before Christmas, which, informally, was also The Paul Lynde Christmas Special, the last of two primetime specials from Lynde (Hollywood Squares, ex-Bewitched, who was recurring on Donny & Marie at the time). 

Our cast also includes Alice Ghostley, Howard Morris, Anne Meara, George Gobel, Anson Williams (Happy Days), and Foster Brooks.


Didn't see this the first time, as I was at church when it aired on a Wednesday night in 1977. No rating. Just a public service.
