As for The Monkees' "The Christmas Show", it's...ehh: It's from the second season, when they were starting to wander off their scripts, and the story of the group babysitting 12-yo. rich intellectual mini-Scrooge Butch Patrick would have been better if the kid wasn't so danged insufferable. It...

Like most kinescope variety, that's public domain, and can be found anywhere-- Amazon, for ex., not only has a few PD copies, but their Red Skelton: the Farewell Specials (ie. 80's HBO) also has Red Skelton's Christmas Dinner, where Red's hobo character plays the old Cop & the Anthem story of...

And, of course, the annual rotation of Mystery Science Theater 3000's heckling of Christmas movies-- Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (Joel Hodgson era), Santa Claus (Michael J. Nelson era), and The Christmas That Almost Wasn't (Netflix era):

Ah, Japan, where Christmas is "the most romantic holiday of the year", where couples traditionally cuddle up by the fire... ( :wacko: ) Which, of course, brings up the niche discussion of Best Japanese Anime Christmas episodes, of which other boards are more qualified to discuss.

Not merely the greatest Thanksgiving TV episode ever made, but widely agreed to be one of the Top Ten funniest classic TV sitcom episodes of all time (in the Chuckles the Clown, Chocolate-line and Walnut sense): "Over the River and Through the Woods", The Bob Newhart Show: (They're slightly...

(rehearsing ACC play with amateur talent)"'ChristMAS,bahhumbugifIhadmyWAYeveryfoolwhogoesabout...'""Thank you, that's the first time I've ever heard Scrooge played as an auctioneer." :lol:

If he means the weird artsy-sketchy one, then probably. (Unless you mean Robert Zemeckis' NITRO-Nightmare Fuel from '09. :blink: ) Me, I always grew up with the 70's Hanna-Barbera version (nope, no Mickey Mouse or Mr. Magoo for my first one), that wanted to show kids how "cool" it was that...
