I'd love to see it, especially on something like Turner Classic Movies, PBS (more than they occasionally have done) or other kind of alternative channel. I don't think network tv or some other stations, a lot of whose viewers attend Marvel and superhero films being churned out nowadays, might want to hunker down for a few hours with the likes of Julie Harris or Lynn Fontanne, unfortunately. I don't even know, outside of holiday time, how well Mary Martin in "Peter Pan" might go over, though perhaps their parents or grandparents might encourage viewing it to their progeny.

That program didn't have ad breaks every ten minutes last the last "Peter Pan" on NBC. A half hour show like "The Big Bang Theory" runs 21 minute or so and we end up with almost ten minute of commercials.
