> Yeah, I grew up with channel 9, but I thought it was the original _ **King Kong** _ that got shown on Thanksgiving. Toho movies (i.e. Godzilla & etc. monster movies) were usually a week long stretch on WABC’s _The 4:30 Movie_… 😃

They did have King Kong and Son of Kong on Thanksgiving, come to think of it. I do remember a Godzilla in there somewhere, though. I think they ran movies the next day, too.

Wizzard of Oz was the tradition when I was growing up.
