* ScrewedByTheNetwork: While CBS usually schedules at least one airing of the special on a weeknight, its sole 2023 airing was slotted on a Saturday immediately following a college basketball game. Sporting events on broadcast networks almost-always run over their time slot, which pushes back the shows after it or skips over them (''Series/SixtyMinutes'' and the rest of CBS's Sunday primetime lineup suffers from this on a weekly basis during NFL season). The college basketball game ran ''half an hour'' past the time slot, resulting in ''Rudolph'' not airing until about 8:30 PM instead of its scheduled 8:00, resulting in DVR recordings being of the last 30 minutes of the game. This also affected ''WesternAnimation/FrostyTheSnowman'' and ''WesternAnimation/FrostyReturns'', which were scheduled afterwards.
