buckeyemike Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 and Santa Claus is Comin' to Town and The Year Without a Santa Claus (both of which, ironically, have Mickey Rooney as the voice of Kris Kringle). ABC Family had them back to back this past Saturday. And there's always, always Rudolph. When you see Rankin/Bass holiday specials, you know it's Christmas. Mike
R. Rich Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 Two of my favorites are The Year Without A Santa Claus and Emmett Otter's Jug Band Christmas.
USMCBillsFan Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 I like them all but one of the ones I LOOK for is the one with the mouse that has to fix the clock. Can't remember the name of it right now. I like that one...
JinVA Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 Two of my favorites are The Year Without A Santa Claus and Emmett Otter's Jug Band Christmas. 150699[/snapback] Whoah, I had forgotten all about Emmett Otter. Blast from the past. "We're not birds we're a jug band" classic
KD in CA Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 Rudolph and Charlie Brown for the animated specials. A Christmas Story is the best movie though. Hysterical. The scene where he gets his mouth washed out with soap brings back some fond childhood memories.
flomoe Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 Just to keep this from being OT, doesn't Bill Cowher and Burgermeister Meisterburger look awfully similar, especially when BC is pissed about something? I just hope we make Pittsburgh the new Sombertown come 4pm on January 2nd.
PIZ Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 I like them all but one of the ones I LOOK for is the one with the mouse that has to fix the clock. Can't remember the name of it right now. I like that one... 150704[/snapback] It was just on the other night. I think it is called "Twas the Night Before Christmas". Twas the Night Before Christmas
Realist Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 Two of my favorites are The Year Without A Santa Claus and Emmett Otter's Jug Band Christmas. 150699[/snapback] I haven't seen Emmit Otters Jug Band Christmas in probably 20 years! My favorites are Charlie Brown and Year Without a Santa Claus. I even have one of those snowmen that spin a string of snowflakes and sings the Cold Miser song.
Dan Gross Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 I like them all but one of the ones I LOOK for is the one with the mouse that has to fix the clock. Can't remember the name of it right now. I like that one... 150704[/snapback] 'Twas the Night Before Christmas, featuring Joel Grey and George Gobel. I like many of the ones mentioned here. A lot of the "sequels" are absolutely horrid though, especially the ones made after 1990. I'm talkin' "Frosty Returns," one or more Charlie Brown Christmas sequels (I remember at least one...). Ones I automatically TIVOed: Charlie Brown Twas the Night Jack Frost Santa Claus is Coming Rudolph Year Without a Santa Claus Frosty Most of the others we could see or not see... We have Grinch on DVD...
tmk-nj Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 South Park's Mr. Hanky the Christmas Poo. LOL (Not my favorite, but funny)
envirojeff Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 The old "A Christmas Carol" with A. Sims in B/W. Jeff

dib Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 "We're not birds we're a jug band" classic Jug band? what kind of pervert are you? What? Mine: Muppet Christmas Carol (Light the candle not the rat) It's a Wonderful Life and of course- Charlie Brown
buckeyemike Posted December 7, 2004 Author Posted December 7, 2004 The old "A Christmas Carol" with A. Sims in B/W. Jeff 150724[/snapback] That is the lovely and talented Kimberly's (my wife's) favorite. I wish I could find it for her on DVD, but so far I've been unsuccessful. Mike
buckeyemike Posted December 7, 2004 Author Posted December 7, 2004 That's it, thanks Dan. My wife loves "It's a Wonderful Life" too.... I like it the first time I watch it but they over play that one every year. 150732[/snapback] Remember when IAWL used to be on 300 times every holiday season? About a dozen years ago, NBC bought the rights, cleaned up the original prints and shows it about three times a year. Over Thanksgiving weekend, I had a chance to see "It's A Wonderful Life" on the big screen at a local cinema, where admission was one dollar or two canned food items. I never thought I'd get a chance to see it in a movie theater. Mike
Fezmid Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 Does Trans-Siberian Orchestra count? Because for me, that's the start of the Xmas season. The shows on TV are overdone. CW
buckeyemike Posted December 7, 2004 Author Posted December 7, 2004 Does Trans-Siberian Orchestra count? 150745[/snapback] Of course TSO counts. It's the holidays. Mike
stevestojan Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 Without a doubt, Muppet's Family Christmas, when they go to Fozzy Bear's house.
Alaska Darin Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 Nestor the Christmas Donkey. Has all the stereotypes from the era and is complete as a story when his mother buys it NLT the 5 minute mark. Heartwarming.
