1) Name your favorite Henson's Muppet Christmas program and why.

5) If one Christmas movie, special or episode was to be selected for a time capsule to opened in 1,000 years, which title do you think should be included?

  1. I LOVE your suggestion of an Animagic Frosty the Snowman. Even if we get a glimpse of him in "Rudolph & Frosty's Christmas in July" in stop-motion, he REALLY deserves his own stand-alone special in stop-motion. Heck, I'd like to see "Twas the Night Before Christmas," "The Stingiest Man" and "Cricket on the Hearth" in Animagic too. Thanks for the reminder :)

  2. Dean, it's great that you include the two Bewitched episodes. Terrific answers all around.
