The pre-season winds down, ending on Thanksgiving Day. And as always the CSWL pays respects to Turkey Day, this time covering the 1972 animated Hannah Barbera animated special: The Thanksgiving That Almost Wasn't. This 'non-classic' is a non-classic for a reason. Whether you have seen this special or not, you most likely do remember the Hannah Barbera cartoons of the 1960's, 1970's, and 1980's. That's all the viewing you need to appreciate this episode of CSWL. Besides covering some of the stereotypical beats employed by Hannah Barbera, we take a peek into why their low-budget style may have devolved from the days of the Flintstones as well as the climate of show business and Saturday morning cartoons at that time. And yes, the gang also breaks down the painful beats of this special. Just a few more to go before we hit the season!  Text us your thoughts at 351-251-2511, and be sure to join our Christmas Specials We Love Facebook Group Talk Shawtly
