BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

NBC, 8:00 p.m. ET

When the original copyright was allowed to lapse on this 1946 holiday movie, it was all over the place during the Christmas season – and I do mean all over, because even local broadcast stations and low-rent cable channels could run It’s a Wonderful Life for free.

But when NBC and Universal wrapped up exclusive rights a few years ago, the Frank Capra movie, starring James Stewart and Donna Reed, is available only twice yearly, on NBC: once on Christmas Eve, and once tonight. And every time a bell rings, the peacock makes a little more money…
