Updates by the dozens at our Christmas TV listings!

Look for memorable episodes from the '60s (Bewitched), '70s (Barney Miller), '80s (Matlock), '90s (Becker) and '00s (7th Heaven).

Britcoms, too -- Blackadder's Christmas Carol, Absolutely Fabulous, The Vicar of Dibley -- plus the action of Doctor Who: The Christmas Adventure and holiday talk from Graham Norton.

You'll find more Christmas Carols from The Flintstones and The Jetsons on Cartoon Network, plus holiday outings from Powerpuff Girls and Johnny Bravo.

Many merry movies have been added -- Vanessa Williams in A Diva's Christmas Carol, Dolly Parton's A Smoky Mountain Christmas, Whoopi Goldberg in Call Me Claus -- including wall-to-wall holiday flicks on Hallmark Channel, Lifetime Movie Network and ABC Family.

Ovation revisits the Band-Aid charity song event Do They Know It's Christmas? and goes nuts for The Nutcracker. (And the channel has just been added for many Comcast viewers.)

There's more to come! We're keeping track of added airings so you don't have to. Check out our listings here:

Diane Werts

Diane Werts has been glued to the tube since she can remember, growing up in a household where the TV came on first thing in the morning and stayed on till bedtime and beyond. She worked for the USA Film Festival, then for The Dallas Morning News writing about everything from Shakespeare to macrame art to rock music (and has the hearing loss to prove it). She moved to New York's Newsday to edit their glossy TV magazine, then returned to writing about television, specializing in its stranger permutations. She's a past president of the Television Critics Association.
