Last night the family settled down at 8pm ET to watch a Christmas classic, Santa Claus is coming to town. It's something we look forward to every year and is one of our favourite Christmas shows.
The one song we look forward to is "Put one foot in front of the other" where the Winter Warlock learns a valuable lesson on trying even when you think you can't do something. A great learning opportunity for the kids not to mention a nice catchy tune we sing for days afterwards. Much to our surprise this segment was cut out. It can't be more than a minute or so long but it was cut out. We questioned. Did we miss it? Was it going to be after the commercial. Nope, CUT OUT.
The good thing is that we can probably see it a few more times before Christmas on other stations that will not cut out key parts of the show.
This is not the first time the CBC has done this. We watch Chitty Chitty Bang Bang a few years back and they cut out more than one key part of the movie that in my eyes ruined the storyline.
CBC, The first time may have been acceptable given the length of the movie but to do this to a show that is only 45 or so minutes long is unacceptable. You've now lost us as a family for watching any such show. I'll look to other stations to watch my favourites knowing they will not cut out key parts.
