Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas

ABC, Tuesday, 8 ET/PT

Christmas is one of the least watched TV nights of the year, and with good reason. But if your family does turn on the TV, turn it to this ideally done adaptation of Dr. Seuss' book. Never has a "mean one" been better served, from the choice of animation genius Chuck Jones to produce and direct to that of Boris Karloff to voice the big green guy all tied to one of the season's funniest, best constructed and most easily recalled stories, with its sweet message about the indestructibility of the Christmas spirit. The 30 minute cartoon is a gem and it's also enough. No, they don't face a lot of first run competition but in case TNT forgot to check its calendar, there's a reason for that.
