Nelvana's Intergalactic Thanksgiving mixes science fiction with absurd comedy, and features the voices of Catherine O'Hara (SCTV), Derek McGrath, Al Waxman, & Sid Caesar, a year removed from "Grease". Music, as usual, was composed by former Lovin' Spoonful frontman John Sebastian, with the John Hall Band, featuring the former (at the time) vocalist for Orleans, performing Sebastian's compositions.
I think there's a reason why no American channel has picked this up in recent years.
No rating.

I remember this one. It was one of the last of the Nelvanamation specials to come from Canada's Nelvana studio, which aired in various syndicated venues throughout the mid-to-late 70's. It's also gone by the title "Please Don't Eat the Planet".
This was true in the open, but most TV guides simply listed it as "Intergalactic Thanksgiving". The alternate title sounds like a riff on Please Don't Eat The Daisies.
