Apparently, even Santa was troubled by the pending cable revolution...
Not sure if the script is legible, but it says, "Christmas is more than an Orange..."
Now, why it says "Christmas is more than an Orange," I have no idea. Then again, I'm not a theologian. Or a citrus farmer.
It's not clear from this classic TV Guide "Close Up," but this particular All in the Family -- about a deadly hate crime against a female impersonator, and involving a main character's renunciation of faith -- aired on Christmas night.
Yes, Virginia, broadcast-network TV used to have (how should we say?) Sno Balls.
Not to mention the will -- and the audience -- to air all-new episodes on a major holiday.

Just a reminder, if you have snapshots or other artifacts from Christmas in the 1970s that you'd like to share, send 'em our way at: xmasinthe70s [at] yahoo [dot] com.
