FRIDAY, DEC. 22:

I Love Lucy Christmas Special
7
Featuring two back-to-back episodes of the classic series I Love Lucy, the colorized "Christmas Episode" (first presented in black & white on Christmas Eve, 1956) is paired with the newly colorized "The Fashion Show." In this episode (first presented on Feb. 28, 1955), Lucy convinces Ricky to allow her to spend up to $100 on a dress at the fashionable Don Loper Salon in Beverly Hills. However, when an opportunity arises for Lucy to participate in a Loper fashion show featuring glamorous movie star wives, Lucy winds up spending five times that! Lucy hopes that if she gets a mild sunburn, Ricky will feel sorry for her and forgive her for spending so much, though, as always, she goes a bit too far!

The Dick Van Dyke Show – Now in Living Color!
8
The two newly colorized back-to-back episodes of this memorable series were selected by series creator Carl Reiner as two of Mary Tyler Moore's best episodes. In "My Blonde-Haired Brunette" (first presented on Oct. 10, 1961, during the series' first season), Laura dyes her hair blonde when she fears the romance between her and Rob is fading. In "October Eve" (initially presented on April 8, 1964, during Season Three), a painting of Laura returns to haunt her—despite having posed fully clothed, the artist (played by Carl Reiner) took the liberty of "undraping" her.

TUESDAY, DEC. 26:
