1) What is the first Christmas special you remember watching?
A Charlie Brown Christmas
2) Name one Christmas program/movie you enjoy watching all year round.

I
try to avoid watching holiday stuff in the off season but I'll make an
exception for anything seasonal from the MST3K/Rifftrax/Cinematic
Titanic crews.
3) Name one overlooked, or under-appreciated Christmas program.

| Father Jack wearing a Santa hat on the 1996 Christmas episode of Father Ted. |
4) Send us to 3 places on the internet.
5) What are your 3 favorite Christmas episodes of a TV sitcom or drama?
Three? Three hundred would be easier but if you hold a loaded cracker to my head I'll say...
The Odd Couple - Scrooge Gets an Oscar
The Jack Benny Program - Christmas Shopping
Father Ted - A Christmassy Ted
Anytime is a good time for MST3K! Great kick-off to Christmas in July!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite quote from The Odd Couple's Christmas episode: “I’d like to get a giant candy cane and beat the wings off a Sugar Plum Fairy.” LOVE Jack Klugman.
ReplyDeleteDidn't remember that "Odd Couple" line - that's classic!
DeleteThanks for sharing Dinsdale Kringle! Jack Benny Christmas Shopping is excellent! Why didn't I think of that? It is definitely a classic. And another just came to mind that I didn't think of when filling out my survey...darn!
ReplyDeleteJACK: "Rochester, what did I give you for Christmas last year?"
ReplyDeleteROCHESTER: "A brand new dollar bill."
JACK: "Oh yes."
ROCHESTER: "And a lecture on the evils of wine, women, and song!"
Thanks for sharing all this, Dinsdale Kringle. You definitely are wiring overtime! The House Without a Christmas Tree is one of my absolute favorites, a true American Christmas classic.
