THE SOUND OF MUSIC LIVE!
December 14, 2013  | By David Bianculli

NBC, 8:00 p.m. ET

 
Under any other circumstances, NBC’s decision to pre-empt one of its annual scheduled telecasts of It’s a Wonderful Life would be considered holiday heresy – the Scroogest kind of TV humbug. But the network has pulled tonight’s scheduled showing of the 1946 holiday classic to present a same-month repeat of its own brand-new holiday tradition: a second showing of The Sound of Music Live!, starring Carrie Underwood and performed and broadcast live Dec. 5. This special TV event proved so popular, it’s already influenced networks to pursue similarly risky ventures. For the full story, see Ed Bark’s Uncle Barky’s Bytes.
