This Day in Arf History: The Grinch Premieres in 1966

Dear Arf Lover, You’re a three decker toadstool and saurkraut sandwich, with arsenic sauce. Aw, just kidding. But you all know who we’re talking about.

(This is just part one. You can see the rest on TV or on youtube.)

    Actually, I am three decker toadstool and saurkraut sandwich, with arsenic sauce, so no offense taken.

    This combination of Seuss, Jones, Karloff and Ravenscroft seemed just like magic the day it first aired, and it seems like magic today. I suspect there’s magic involved.

    With a name like Thurl Ravenscroft, it HAS to be good!
