The Most Anticipated New Winter Shows. The beloved holiday special How the Grinch Stole Christmas! is 50 this year. The collaboration between Chuck Jones, arguably the greatest animator of the 20th century, and Dr. Seuss, arguably the greatest children's book author of all time, first aired on CBS on December 18, 1966.
His story How the Grinch Stole Christmas (1957) was made into 1966 animated TV special (directed by Chuck Jones) and a 2000 feature film starring Jim Carrey as the Grinch. Dr. Seuss was awarded a special Pulitzer Prize in 1984.
