Miss them so much. Nothing more great to a kid pre 2000s who saw that cbs special bumper and knew charlie brown, garfield or bugs bunny was coming on. Cartoons in prime time! Kids today don't get how great that was back then.
The Smurfic Games is an animated prime-time special, starring the Smurfs. It was produced by Hanna-Barbera and broadcast over NBC on 20 May 1984. This special was quite fitting for 1984, since the Summer Olympics occurred later that year.
Note the smurfs adventures intro with Gargamel making earthquakes and fires smashing up smurf village in the intro was from this special! An Olympics smurfs special that opens with a wizards (not Gargamel) death and ends with pure chaos! Who would have thought?!

Always liked to watch RudolphSNY on disc during the in- between week before New Year’s, since the Rudolph specials were some of the….better Rankin-Basses?
In that they didn’t use the usual corny ear-bending one-foot-in-front-of-the-other cookie-cutter Maury Laws-Jules Bass songs, but went back to Rudolph’s original Johnny Marks, who had a better way with a tune: https://youtu.be/HUbUaCA0b5Y?si=XP91eW2Z86L9rtQ4
Plus, being a Red Skelton fan (and hearing him bring back Junior for,one character) is always a plus.
