I don't know why--but I look forward to this every year...got the baskets and eggs ready while I watched. I remember they tried pulling it and people were outraged--sort of like a Charlie Brown special for adults who love overacted, garish screen epics.
My favorite scene: Moses brought before Seti in chains, while the assembled crowd stage whispers "Moses a Hebrew?!"
I also remeber thinking, as about a 12 year old, that Nefreteri was way hot. Still pretty much think that...
