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.
The Cat in the Hat was followed that same year by another big success, How the Grinch Stole Christmas! , which stemmed from Geisel's own aversion toward holiday materialism. These two Dr. Seuss books made Random House the leader of childrenâs books and Dr. Seuss a celebrity.
