Monday, November 19th, 2007 -
1 - The Thanksgiving That Almost Wasn't * - 7/10 - I would have loved this as a kid, but this was my first viewing unless my memory is really bad. Thanks for the link to it Gobear. Not listed on IMDB for some reason, I thought
everything was on IMDB. This would be good for really young kids.
2 - Mighty Joe Young (1949) * - 6.5/10 - Waited a long time to see this, wish I hadn't waited, fun movie. This will likely become an annual Thanksgiving tradition for me.
3 - Mighty Joe Young (1998) * - 8/10 - Repeat everything I said for the 1949 version. Also, Charlize Theron is a goddess, it was cool to see Naveen Andrews in something other than
Lost, and I cried like a baby.
4 - Alice - Who Ordered the Hot Turkey? - 6/10 - Awesome cameos from Corey Feldman, Nancy McKeon, and James Cromwell. That is often a great perk in watching old TV.
5 - Bug's Bunny's Thanksgiving Diet * - 7/10 - Very weak framing sequence around several classic Looney Tunes cartoons.
6 - Holiday for Drumsticks - 8/10 - One of my favorite Daffy Duck cartoons.
7 - A Day of Thanksgiving * - 4/10 - 1951 Patriotism short.
8 - WKRP in Cincinnati - Turkey's Away - 10/10 - One of the finest moments in the history of sitcoms.
9 - Tom and Jerry - The Little Orphan - 7/10 - Won the Oscar that year for cartoon short. I always rooted for Tom.
10- B.C. - The First Thanksgiving (*?) - 4/10 - I remember liking at least one B.C. television special in the past. This is not it.
11- The Gumby Show - Pilgrims on the Rocks * - 5.5/10 - I forgot how rude and condescending Gumby was to Pokey. No individual episodes on IMDB yet.
12- Friends - The One Where Underdog Gets Away - 7/10 - Season 1, back when Friends was funny much of the time. That actor who played the dad in
Alf, he played the Central Perk owner for a few episodes. I wish he had stayed as a regular.
13- Jerky Turkey (*?) - 8/10 - Classic Tex Avery.
14- Picket Fences - Thanksgiving - 8/10 - I miss this show.
15- Underdog - Simon Says ... No Thanksgiving - 5/10 - Underdog was a favorite show of mine back in early elementary school. I probably rate it higher than it deserves, as, on non-biased viewing, it really isn't very good.
Tuesday, November 20th, 2007 -
16- Dining Together * - 2/10 - Boring 1947 etiquette short.
17- Alice - Alice's Turkey of a Thanksgiving * - 5.5/10 - A sitcom without constant sex jokes, must be pre-1990.
18- Martin - Feast or Famine * - 5/10 - My first exposure to Martin, not quite as bad as I imagined, but I won't be buying any season sets.
19- Martin - Thanks for Nothing * - 6/10 - These are both on youtube if anyone wants to subject themselves to them.
n/a- The Happy Show - Thanksgiving Episode * - 0/10 - I found this in a google search for Thanksgiving episodes. I should have stopped it after a few seconds, but it's awfulness hypnotized me. I can't believe that these guys have apparently been putting their "show" on youtube for years now. Imagine that any three of us got together with a video camera and some capture software, spent 20 minutes coming up with a "script", and then threw a show together. Add 20 minutes of public domain serials and there you have
The Happy Show. Avoid at all costs. I refuse to count this in my numbers.
20- Sealab 2021 - Feast of Alvis - 7/10 - Sealab's satire on Thanksgiving and Christmas.
21- Third Rock From the Sun - Gobble Gobble Dick Dick - 7/10 - I really enjoyed this show when it first appeared. Haven't seen it in years, let's see how it stands up. I still like it, but, if I recall, the seasons after two or so really dropped in quality.
22- What's Happening!! - Mama, the School Girl (*?) - 6/10 - Nice little revenge piece.
23- Frasier - The Apparent Trap (*?) - 6.5/10 - I think I'm in for a Frasier Complete Series boxset someday, a pretty entertaining series with a great, diverse cast.
24- Friends - The One With the List - 7.5/10 - Who here has written similar lists?
25- Friends - The One With the Football - 8/10 - I love playing touch football. This episode brings back some memories.
26- Diff'rent Strokes - Thanksgiving Crossover * - 6/10 - One hour episode merged with
Hello Larry. Several crossovers like this were not enough to save
Hello Larry from cancellation. Perhaps McLean Stevenson made a bad decision in leaving
M.A.S.H. ?
27- Hello Larry - Thanksgiving Crossover * - 7/10 - Fairly enjoyable hour long episode actually.
28- Friends - The One With Chandler in a Box (*?) - 5/10 - I think I had pretty much quit watching the series by this point.
29- Sports Night - Thespis * - 8.5/10 - I saw five minutes of a Sports Night episode years ago and knew that it would be a favorite. However, it was on at a time when I wasn't really watching TV, so I knew that I'd wait and get it on video someday. Still waiting for a rainy day to watch the whole series someday, had to bend my usual rules to watch this episode out of order.
30- Garfield's Thanksgiving * - 3/10 - That was not quite as painful as I feared. The computer scale bit was pretty good actually, added a full point and half to my score.
31- Friends - The One With the Thanksgiving Flashbacks * - 4/10 - Now I see why I quit watching.
32- Friends - The One With Ross's Sandwich * - 4/10 - See above comment.
Wednesday, November 21st, 2007 -
33- Frank TV - Franksgiving (Pilot) * - 2/10 - Awful, awful sketch comedy. They'll apparently give anybody their own TV show nowadays.
34- How I Met your Mother - Slapsgiving * - 7/10 - First time watching this show, wasn't too bad.
35- King of the Hill - Nine Pretty Darn Angry Men * - 8/10 - Nice little spoof on a classic film, with Thanksgiving stuff to boot!
n/a- Unleashed - Happy Thanksgiving * - 5/10 - See first hand the effects of the writer's strike. I won't count this, too short even for a short.
36- Channel Frederator - Episode 107: Fredsgiving * - 5/10 - Nickelodeon stuff.
37- Tales Of The Wizard Of Oz - Gabe The Gobbler * - 5.5/10 - Classic Rankin/Bass animation, and their only Thanksgiving stuff I think.
38- The State - Tape People * - 5/10 - First time watching this sketch comedy show. Likely the last. It's not too horrible, but why watch this when we have
Kids in the Hall?
39- Thanksgiving (2004) * - 6/10 -Great cast.
40- Casper the Friendly Ghost - Do or Diet (*?) - 7/10 - I wasn't a big Casper fan, but this one is fun. One of the earliest Casper's?
n/a- Revenge * - 7/10 - Cute little short, too short to count though.
41- Service For Four * - 2.5/10 - Waste of time pretty much.
42- Aqua Teen Hunger Force - The Dressing - 8.5/10 - "....that last bite reminds me of this severely long story...."
43- A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving - 7/10 - (Typing this later, on Thanksgiving) I almost stayed home today and had a dinner of popcorn and english muffins, would have almost seemed appropriate. But I ended up working so I got the traditional turkey with the trimmings.
44- Married With Children - A Bundy Thanksgiving * - 6.5/10 - I hated this show back in the day. This one wasn't that bad.
45- Home Improvement - Thanksgiving * - 6.5/10 - Pretty good guest stars this episode; Tom Poston, Alex Rocco, and Rodney Dangerfield.
46- Malcolm in the Middle - Thanksgiving * - 8/10 - I miss this show too.
47- Mama's Family - An Ill Wind (*?) - 6/10 - I don't miss this show, but I do miss
The Carol Burnett Show.
48- Reba - Thanksgiving * - 4/10 - First time ever viewing Reba, hopefully one of the last. But actually better than I feared.
! Happy Thanksgiving ! Thursday, November 22nd, 2007 -
49- Reba - Invasion * - 7/10 - Buzzard was cool.
50- Sister, Sister - Thanksgiving in Hawaii: Part One * - 4/10 - Nice to see Tim Reid again, pretty weak otherwise.
51- Sister, Sister - Thanksgiving in Hawaii: Part Two * - 4/10 - Last time I'll watch this series I do believe.
52- King of the Hill - Happy Hank's Giving * - 7.5/10 - Underrated series.
53- South Park - Helen Keller! The Musical (*?) - 7.5/10 - Sweet.
54- That '70s Show - Thanksgiving * - 4/10 - I pretty much hate this show, but my OCD has me watching multiple episodes of it.
55- That '70s Show - Thank You * - 4/10 - Meh.
56- The Beverly Hillbillies - Turkey Day (*?) - 5/10 - It's been years since I've seen this show.
57 -The Beverly Hillbillies - The Thanksgiving Story * - 5/10 - Quite forgettable.
58- Frasier - A Lilith Thanksgiving (*?) - 8.5/10 - Funny.
59- Happy Days - The First Thanksgiving - 5.5/10 - I enjoyed the first few seasons of Happy Days. This was from season 6.
60- The Waltons - The Thanksgiving Story part 1 - 7/10 - Watched a lot of the Waltons growing up, still a great show.
61- My Friends Tigger and Pooh - Many Thanks for Christopher Robin * - 7/10 - What can I say, I'm a Winnie and gang fan.
n/a- Parts of the
Lions/Packers game.
n/a- Parts of the
Cowboys/Jets game.
n/a- Parts of the
Colts/Falcons game.
61- Planes, Trains, and Automobiles - 8/10 - Been way too long since I've seen this.
62- 74th Annual McDonald's Thanksgiving Parade * - 5/10 - Much more watchable than I feared.
Friday, November 23rd, 2007 -
63- Friends - The One where Ross got High (*?) - 5/10 - "That's a lot of information to absorb in 30 seconds."
64- Friends - The One Where Chandler Doesn't Like Dogs * - 4.5/10 - These stars I'm giving for these
Friends episodes? The 1/10 scale starts at 3, because even a blank script gets one star for each of the three actresses just being there. So a 4/10 is really a 1/10.
65- Friends - The One With the Rumor - 4/10 - I did see this one back when it was first broadcast, to see the "big event" of Brad Pitt. He wasn't all that good in this episode.
66- Friends - The One With Rachel's Other Sister * - 3.5/10 - Wow. This show got bad.
67- Friends - The One With the Late Thanksgiving * - 5/10 - A bit more tolerable. I 'm not sure if I'll be watching the
Friends Christmas episodes.
68- This is America, Charlie Brown - The Mayflower Voyagers * - 7/10 - I learned stuff!
69- Everybody Loves Raymond - No Thanks * - 7/10 - I only watched 30 or so episodes over the years, but I never liked any of the scenes with the kids in this series.
70- Home Improvement - My Dinner With Wilson (*?) - 6.5/10 - Another guest appearance by James Cromwell. I just saw him in an Alice episode a few days (and 25 years) ago.
71- Home Improvement - The Wood, the Bad, and the Hungry * - 7/10 - Nice little homage to Rankin/Bass-type animation as a dream sequence.
72- King of the Hill - Goodbye Normal Jeans * - 6.5/10 - Bobby goes Bobbi.
73- Moesha - Thanksgiving * - 5/10 - Again, not as bad as I feared.
74- Moesha - All This, and Turkey Too * - 5.5/10 - This scripts are better than the acting in these. Nice to see Robert Guillaume.
75- Will & Grace - Homo for the Holidays - 7/10 - A few of the episodes of the first few seasons are extremely funny, but I stopped watching. I imagine that, as usual, this sitcom nose dived the last few seasons.
76- Full House - The Miracle of Thanksgiving * - 6/10 - I've never watched this show before, but I thought the Olsen Twins were in it. I saw no twins.
Saturday, November 24th, 2007-
77- MST3K Webisode - Thanksgiving Clown * - The bots are back!
78- MST3K Webisode - Turkey Bits - 7/10 - All the little segments from the old Comedy Central MST3K Turkey Day marathons collected together!
78- Linus the Lion Hearted - Thanksgiving * -5/10 - Cool appearance from Sugar Bear. Wish I had some cereal in the pantry.
79- Two-A-Days: Hoover High - Thanksgiving Tradition * - na/10 - I think this is one of reality shows that you have to watch from the beginning. Never having seen it before, I couldn't get into it at all, but kind of unfair to rate it I guess.
80- Beavis and Butthead Do Thanksgiving * - 1997 MTV coverage of the NY parade, featuring Kurt Loder, Beavis, and Butthead.
81- Everybody Hates Chris - Everybody Hates Thanksgiving * - 7/10 - Raj from
What's Happening!! is a regular on this series, cool. Nice guest in Wayne Brady as well, although I expected a bit more from him (I love him on
Who's Line).
82- Once and Again - Thanksgiving * - 6/10 - I'm moved quite easily, and this tear jerker did it.
83- Scrubs - My Day Off * - 7.5/10 - I discovered this show quite late. I saw bits of one or two episodes the first couple of seasons, but never gave it a fair try. A best friend who, like me, is pretty discriminating of TV and only watches 2-3 shows regularly, kept insisting that it was one of the best shows out there. I finally gave in and watched a full episode, and agree. I'm a bit behind now, but as of last year it was one of only 5 shows I DVR.
Sunday, November 25th, 2007-
84- That '70s Show - You Can't Always Get What You Want * - 6/10 - Best of the three episodes I watched, but then, I'm a closet Styx fan.
85- The Bernie Mac Show - Thanksgiving * - 6.5/10 - Another first time viewing of a series.
86- The Bernie Mac Show - Tryptophan-tasy * - 8/10 - Hilarious spoof of that classic
Twilight Zone plane episode.
87- 7th Heaven - Thanksgiving * - Never seen this series either. It made me cry, so maybe I won't watch it ever again.
88- King of the Hill - Spin the Choice * - 6/10 - Nice reference to the football game.
89- The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air - Talking Turkey (*?) - 5.5/10 - Admission that I may regret: When this series first began, I liked the theme song so much that I taped it and memorized the lyrics, would sing only to myself, as I have a voice to die from.
90- The King of Queens - Thanks Man * - 7.5/10 - Makes me miss International Talk Like a Pirate Day.
91- The King of Queens - Loaner Car * - 7/10 - Only watched this show on and off, but it always made me laugh.
92- The Waltons - The Thanksgiving Story part 2 * - 7.5/10 - Cried (well, I don't cry, but I well up) for like the fourth time this challenge. John Ritter was in
The Waltons?
93- Two and a Half Men - Merry Thanksgiving * - 7/10 - This show is a guilty pleasure.
94- Joey - Joey and the Bachelor Thanksgiving * - 4/10 - Another first series for me, and another last.
95- The Simpsons - Bart vs. Thanksgiving * - 7/10 - I think I like the older
Simpsons animation more than the newer.
96- The Simpsons - Bart vs. Thanksgiving - with commentary * - 7/10 (commentary rating) - My first
Simpsons commentary.
n/a- A Rymatch Thanksgiving * - 1/10 - A short I found googling. Incredibly bad. Too bad to count.
97- South Park - Starvin' Marvin - 7.5/10 - I was an early SP adopter.
98- South Park - Starvin' Marvin - with commentary - 4.5/10 (commentary rating) - I still watch
SP occasionally, and am amazed at how wrong, and good it still is.
99- The Brady Bunch - The Un-Underground Movie - 6.5/10 - This series was a favorite of my family's growing up.
100- Seinfeld - The Mom and Pop Store - 8/10 - Great series from start to finish pretty much, pretty rare in TV history.
Monday, November 26th, 2007-
101- Seinfeld - The Mom and Pop Store - with commentary - 6/10 (commentary rating) - I loved the Woody Woodpecker bits, and the
Midnight Cowboy ending.
102- Jay Leno on South Park short - 8.5/10 - The Story of Thanksgiving. I love the nonsense on the blackboard.
103- Ellen - Kiss My Bum * - 6.5/10 - Always good to see a Higgins Boy (whatever happened to Gruber?).
104- South Park - Helen Keller! The Musical - with commentary - 4/10 (commentary rating) - All these commentaries are on the web.
105- Northern Exposure - Thanksgiving - 7/10 - Sadly, I own all the DVDs, considered this my favorite show for a year or three, but this is the first episode I've re-watched on DVD. This episode features a great quote from the classic book by John Bunyan,
Pilgrim's Progress; "The more he cast away the more he had." It made me pause and reflect on my OCD collecting/hoarding. Maybe I don't need 2000 DVDs. I'm sure that I could search my TV seasons and find many more Thanksgiving episodes, but I think I'm Thanksgivinged out. I wasn't sure that I'd hit 100 in this whole challenge, let alone just Thanksgiving stuff. I'm officially closing out my Turkey Day viewings and moving on to Christmas items. And I will start with a great segway title.
106- Miracle on 34th Street (1947) * - 9/10 - Yes, I've never seen this movie before. I love Christmas movies, watch many of them every year, own over 100 Christmas DVDs, and yet somehow have never seen this classic. But then, that's part of what I'm using this challenge for, watching my unwatched DVDs.
107- The Spirit of Christmas: Jesus versus Frosty * - 8/10 - Can't believe I've never searched for this original before, I've seen the 1995 version of course.
108- The Spirit of Christmas: Jesus versus Santa - 8.5/10 - Found this when it was sweeping the net right before
South Park was introduced. Still makes me laugh my butt off.
109- AMC Hollywood Backstories - Miracle on 34th Street * - 7/10 - AMC series which took in-depth looks at classic movies, ran 55 episodes apparently. Always interesting.
110- Tom and Jerry - The Night Before Christmas (*?) - 6/10 - Pretty good for a T&J cartoon.
111- The 20th Century-Fox Hour - The Miracle on 34th Street * - 4.5/10 - I don't quite understand this. Just a few years after the smashing success of the movie, the studio remakes it as a 1 hour TV episode, using the same script (abbreviated and crammed into 45 minutes) and inferior actors. I mean the script is pretty much exactly the same, the dialogue, the settings, the facial expressions. It's like they wanted the same thing, but sped up and squeezed into the time slot. Doesn't seem to make much sense.
112- Professor Grampy - Christmas Comes But Once a Year * - 5/10 - His only color short, and only lead appearance without Betty Boop.
113- A Cosmic Christmas * - 5/10 - Bizarre.
114- 'Twas the Night Before Christmas - 6/10 - I swear I have this DVD somewhere, but I can't find it, so I'm watching a low res version on youtube.
115- Growing Pains - A Christmas Story * - 5/10 -
116- The Adventures of Mary-Kate & Ashley - The Case of the Christmas Caper * - 1/10 - Ok, I was just curious, had never seen anything Olsen, and it was just sitting there online. I'll go rip off my ears now.
Tuesday, November 27th, 2007-
117- What I Did For Love (2006) * - 7/10 - I've always liked James Gammon, great character actor.
118- Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1948) (*?) - 6/10 - The first Rudolph on film?
119- Santa's Surprise * - 7/10 - Cute.
120- Ginger Nutt's Christmas Circus * - 5/10 - Was this a precursor to Chip and Dale?
121- The Star of Bethlehem * - 7/10 - Great very early animation.
122- Beavis and Butt-head Do Christmas * - 6.5/10 - I love me some B&B, but Mike Judge really improved w/ King of the Hill.
n/a- A Tribute to Scotland / Happy St Andrews Day * Just a homemade youtube video, so it is not for the count, but I wanted to make sure I honored our Scots. The 30th is the official day, maybe I'll find something
official by then.
n/a- St Andrews Day March 2006 - Scottish Independence * Another.
n/a- Scotland - A Tribute * And just one more. I also vow to play my Proclaimers CDs between now and Friday.
123- Prancer * - 7/10 - Sam Elliot is always great, and the little girl's performance is surprisingly moving. Hey, I watched two 2-hour movies in one day!
Wednesday, November 28th, 2007-
124- The Shanty Where Santy Claus Lives * - 5/10 - It's fun to watch these non-politically correct old cartoons.
125- The Christmas Visitor * - 5/10 - Another sort-of adaptation of
Night Before Christmas with lots of
Little Tin Soldier as well.
126- Silver Spoons - The Best Christmas Ever * - 5/10 - Very predictable. And how'd they get electricity to the cave?
127- The Steadfast Tin Soldier * - 7/10 - This was part of an episode of
Mr. Piper. Nice adaptation of the classic Hans Christian Andersen story.
128- Married With Children - It's a Bundyful Life: Part One * - 5/10 - Could have been worse.
129- Married With Children - It's a Bundyful Life: Part Two * - 6/10 - I actually surprised myself by laughing during this episode.
130- The Pup's Christmas * - 5/10 - Was that mommy or daddy?
131- The King of Queens - Santa Claustrophobia * - 6/10 - I think I like Kevin James.
132- Snow Foolin' (*?) - 6/10 - Fun.
133- News Radio - Stupid Holiday Charity Talent Show * - 7/10 - Great appearance by another
Kid in the Hall.
134- Gift Wrapped (1952) - 7.5/10 - Why are the cats always the bad guys in cartoons? Tom (vs Jerry), Sylvester (vs Tweety), the ones vs Mighty Mouse. I'm a cat lover, so I usually disliked all those cartoons. But in fighting back by bias, some of the Tweety ones are great. Granny rocks.
135- Miracle on 34th Street (1947) (colorized version) with Maureen O'Hara commentary - 6/10 (commentary rating) - I prefer the black & white version. Natalie Wood was truly excellent in this role.
136- A Christmas Carol (1910) * - 5/10 - From Edison films, available on youtube.
137- A Christmas Accident (1912) * - 5/10 - Another Edison film, also on youtube. A sort of
Christmas Carol take.
138- The Night Before Christmas (1905) * - 5/10 - On
youtube.
139- Shrek the Halls * - 6.5/10 - Not too bad.
140- Tales From the Darkside - Seasons of Belief * - 7/10 - A story about the Gr.... no, I better not say it.
141- The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air - Deck the Halls * - 5/10 - They lost the theme song in later seasons?! Or was that just a syndication cost-cutting thing?
142- The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air - Christmas Show * - 5/10 - Nothing really new.
143- Home Improvement - Home for the Holidays * - 5/10 - I think I quit watching this show around season 4.
144- 75th Christmas in Rockefeller Center * - 6/10 - The link is to the 2006 show, as IMDB has not put up this years yet. Wow, Brooke Shields is getting quite antique!
Thursday, November 29th, 2007-
145- ER - All About Christmas Eve * - 5.5/10 - Cried again.
146- The Christmas Gift (1986) * - 6.5/10 - John Denver wasn't too bad.
147- Home Alone * - 7.5/10 - Been ages since I've seen this. Never saw any of the sequels I think.
Friday, November 30th, 2007-
148- Casper's First Christmas * - 5/10 - I probably would have loved this if I saw it back in it's day.
149- Batman: The Animated Series - Christmas With the Joker * - 7/10 - First time watching this series, pretty good.
150- Bugs Bunny's Looney Christmas Tales * - 5/10 - Not nearly as good as the 60s cartoons.
151- Rocko's Modern Life - Rocko's Modern Christmas * - 3/10 - I kept hearing raves about this a few years ago, seemed very poor to me.
152- This Christmas * - 7.5/10 - Great performances make a standard family dynamics Christmas drama shine.
153- Home Alone 4 * - 1.5/10 - Horrible.
154- The Christmas List * - 7/10 - Maybe I'm just a sucker for these holiday melodramas, but I swear this was a fun, moving film.
155- The Christmas Card * - 8/10 - Loved seeing Ed Asner again.
Saturday, December 1st, 2007-
156- Just Shoot Me! - Jesus, It's Christmas (*?) - 6/10 - I liked the ending.
157- Alice - A Semi-Merry Christmas (*?) - 5/10 - Mel wasn't such a bad guy.
158- A Carol Christmas * - 4.5/10 - Loved the transporter effect with William Shatner! The rest is pretty much a needless remake.
159- A Christmas Story (1972) * - 7/10 - Hanna-Barbara special. Goober and Gumdrop save the day!
160- The Beverly Hillbillies - Home for Christmas * - 5.5/10 - Their first "short cut" across the country.
161- Hangin' with Mr. Cooper - Christmas '95 * - 6/10 - Another first time seeing a series.
162- Perfect Strangers - A Christmas Story * - 5/10 - I can't believe I'm about to watch this. Wow, that wasn't nearly as bad as I feared.
163- Alfred Hitchcock Presents - Back For Christmas * - 6/10 - Nice.
164- Alfred Hitchcock Presents - Santa Claus and the 10th Avenue Kid * - 4/10 - And?
165- The Boondocks - A Huey Freeman Christmas * - 2/10 - Never seen this series before, chuckled a bit the few times I saw the comic strip. 12 minutes in, and wow, this really stinks. Last 12 minutes doubled my score.
166- The Mary Tyler Moore Show - Christmas and the Hard-Luck Kid II - 7.5/10 - This and Bob Newhart were my favorite series back in the 70s.
167- Welcome Back Kotter - Sweathog Christmas Special - 6/10 - I still have the hots for Mrs. Kotter, Marcia Strassman. Highlight episode.
168- Alice - Mel's Christmas Carol (*?) - 7/10 - I had no idea that this series was based on a movie. I'll have to watch
Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore someday. Great appearance by Jack Gilford.
169- Barney Miller - Christmas Story - 7/10 - Great series.
170- Welcome Back Kotter - A Winter's Coat Tale (*?) - 6/10 - No Gabe Kaplan?
171- Yogi Bear's All-Star Comedy Christmas Caper * - 6/10 - I'd show this to my future kids.
172- Quads! - Christmas Holidaze * - 1/10 - This was a series?! 15 minutes into this supposed comedy, and I've only laughed once. Crap.
173- Arrested Development - In Gob We Trust - 9.5/10 - This show was near perfection.
174- Picket Fences - Pageantry - 7.5/10 - This needs a complete series set. I think this show covered just about every possible storyline imaginable.
175- The Town That Santa Forgot * - 7/10 - Dick Van Dyke rocks.
176- Joey - Joey and the Plot Twist * - 5/10 - Nice Lucy Lui ocd appearance.
Sunday, December 2nd, 2007-
177- Picket Fences - High Tidings - 7/10 - "We didn't expect to see Billy's red-nosed reindeer."
178- A Soapy Christmas * - 5/10 - I'll be honest. I did not watch this to broaden my mind and expose myself to new things. I thought it was a one hour long episode of the old sitcom
Soap. But instead, it is a special on a bunch of soap opera stars making a Christmas CD. But I watched it anyway, as I had already started burning it to DVD in a frantic race to clear space on my DVR as it fills up with Christmas movies.
179- 'Tis the Season to be Smurfy * - 4/10 - Why not? If I can watch Bronson Pinchot and the Olsen Twins, I can watch my first Smurfs episode.
180- Hey Arnold! - Arnold's Christmas * - 7/10 - Something must be wrong with me, I almost cried because of a Nickelodeon cartoon.
181- The Fairly Oddparents - Christmas Everyday * - 8/10 - Good stuff!
182- Invader ZIM - The Most Horrible Christmas Ever * - 7/10 - "His jolly boots of doom." I knew that modern animation was still great for adults thanks to
The Venture Brothers and a few other things on
Adult Swim. But now, thanks to these last two shows, I see that cartoons for kids can still be of high quality.
183- Frosty's Winter Wonderland * - 7/10 - Frosty got married?
184- The Andy Griffith Show - Christmas Story - 8/10 - One of my top ten (probably 5) series of all time.
185- Sanford and Son - Ebenezer Sanford (*?) - 7/10 - Didn't watch much of this series, must have been opposite something we liked better back in the day.
186- Good Times - Sometimes There's No Bottom to the Bottle (*?) - 6.5/10 - Not quite dynamite.
187- America's Funniest Home Videos - Christmas-themed episode - 5/10 - Not as bad as Bob Saget, but this other host is awful. Maybe it was partly the writers. Why do we need a lame host, stupid audience interactions, and fake laughter? Just give us 42 minutes of funny clips.
188- The Jeffersons - The Christmas Wedding - 7.5/10 - I'm in the mood for some egg nog.
189- Three's Company - Three's Christmas * - 5/10 - Was never a big fan.
190- Cheers - Christmas Cheers - 6.5/10 - I loved the earlier seasons more.
191- Rugrats Chanukah * - 6.5/10 -
192- A Boyfriend for Christmas * - 7.5/10 - Yep, I must be a sucker, because I really loved this, despite it's predictability. I'll ask Santa at the mall for a girlfriend.
193- Designing Woman - I'll Be Home For Christmas * - 5/10 - Bad Santa!
194- The Jeffersons - All I Want for Christmas - 7/10 - George's heart grew 4 sizes that day.
195- The Jeffersons - Father Christmas (*?) - 6/10 - Could have done more with the scenes from the past.
196- All in the Family - Edith's Christmas Story - 8.5/10 - Great delivery of the big revelation in the kitchen.
197- Green Acres - An Old-Fashioned Christmas * - 5.5/10 - Never/rarely watched this show as a kid.
198- The Addams Family - Christmas with the Addams Family - 7.5/10 - I rarely watch this show, but always enjoy it when I do. This episode featured just about everyone in the family, which I wish they did more of, as opposed to the usual spotlight on just 4 or so characters.
199- Gunsmoke - P.S. Murray Christmas * - 7/10 -
I believe this was my first time ever watching any episode of Gunsmoke.
200- All in the Family - Christmas Day at the Bunkers - 7/10 - This used to be on Sunday nights, right? My parents watched it all the time.
201- All in the Family - The Draft Dodger - 8/10 - They were first to tackle a lot of issues.

Monday, December 3rd 2007-
202- Good Times - Penny's Christmas - 7/10 - Strange watching such a young and innocent Janet Jackson.
203- A Trap For Santa Claus (1909) * - 5/10 - On youtube.
n/a- The Execution of Mary, Queen of Scots (1895) - 5/10 - The first special effect?
204- La Vie et la passion de Jésus Christ (1903) * - 6/10 - I imagine this was the first film of the life of Christ. Pretty solid film making and several interesting techniques are used. And a 45 minute film back in 1903? This may be the first feature film as well.
205- Bataille de boules de neige (1896) * - 5/10 - Early film of a snowball fight.
206- Mystery Science Theater 3000 - Santa Claus Conquers the Martians - 8/10 - I met Joel and his parents at their first season wrap party. Sorry to "name drop", but it's possibly my best story and I just wanted to get it out there.
207- A Christmas Memory * - 7/10 - An enjoyable later Patty Duke film.
Tuesday, December 4th 2007-
208- Happy Tree Friends - Stealing the Spotlight - 8.5/10 - I love these guys.
n/a- Happy Tree Friends - Kringle Bells - 7/10 - A little too short to count.
209- The Polar Express * - 7/10 - I avoided this until now due to my anti-Tom Hanks bias, but it was pretty good.
210- Happy Tree Friends - Out on a Limb - 8/10 - I cringe in every one of these shorts.
211- The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show - Holiday Show * - 7.5/10 - First time ever watching this series, and I was surprised at how funny it was, much better than most modern sitcoms. Bizarre how the advertising was just put right in the show. I'm thinking that the right series could make that work nowadays, and prevent what I imagine most people do, just fast forward thru the commercials. Or does anybody still watch live TV?
212- Captain Gallant of the Foreign Legion - The Boy Who Found Christmas * - ?/10 - Yet another first time viewing of a series. Buster Crabbe's nepotism.
n/a- Happy Tree Friends - Kringle Frosty - 7/10 - Another mini-short.
213- Date with the Angels - The Christmas Show * - 7/10 - A Betty White show from 1957. Nice to see Mel from
The Dick Van Dyke Show and Miss Hathaway from
The Beverly Hillbillies.
214- Happy Tree Friends - Tongue Twister Trouble - 8/10 - I love those ants.
215- The Jack Benny Show - Christmas Show * - 8/10 - Mel Blanc was a regular in this series! Classic comedy, I'll be seeking out more Jack Benny episodes.
n/a- Happy Tree Friends - Kringle Feast - 5/10 - My least favorite Kringle.
216- Happy Tree Friends - Snow What? That's What! - 7/10 - I couldn't watch these everyday. I'd crack a rib from laughing too much. Reused the icicle gag, but great touch with that final snowball.
217- Meet Corliss Archer - The Christmas Story * - 6.5/10 - Corliss was a girl's name?
Wednesday, December 5th 2007-
218- The Doddlebops Holiday Show * - 1/10 - Started, fell asleep (thankfully). Will finish next time I'm home. Ugh. If I ever have kids, I promise to never drag them to dreck like this.
219- Higglytown Heroes - 'Tis the Season to be Ducky * - 5/10 - Meh.
220- Highway to Heaven - Another Song for Christmas * - 7/10 - A nice
Christmas Carol take.
221- Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends - A Lost Claus * - 7.5/10 - At first, I thought I'd hate it, but this turned out to be a good little kid's show.
222- Johnny and the Sprites - A Very Spritely Christmas * - 6/10 - An ok kid's show.
223- Little Einsteins - The Christmas Wish * - 6/10 - I guess this is a pretty good show for really young kids. Educational sort of.
224- Santa's Funniest Moments * - 1/10 - Imagine the worst epsiode of America's Funniest Home Videos possible, but with two horrible actors instead of just Bob Saget, painfully long reporter segments/gags, and with videos that even AFHV would reject as unfunny.
225- The Story of the First Christmas Snow * - 7/10 - A Rankin/Bass production that I had never seen before, pretty good.
Thursday, December 6th, 2007-
226- A Town Without Christmas * - 8/10 - Always good to see Peter Falk.
227- Tyler Perry's House of Payne - The Wench that Saved Christmas * - 5/10 - Forgettable.
Friday, December 7th, 2007-
228- Amen - Your Christmas Show of Shows * - 6.5/10 - Yet another first time series viewing.
229- The Owl - The Christmas Present * - 7/10 - It looks like there is a whole series of these shorts.
230- The Christmas Box * - 7/10 - It was very nice to see Maureen O'Hara again, and John Boy too.
Saturday, December 8th, 2007-
231- Racket Squad - The Christmas Caper * - 7/10 - Cried.
232- The Adventures of Robin Hood - The Christmas Goose * - 6/10 - I'd be willing to watch more of this old series.
233- Where's Raymond? - Christmas * - 6/10 - Great tap routine, but blackface?
Sunday, December 9th 2007-
234- Jingle All the Way * - 6/10 - Great cast, slightly tired story. Hated the sci-fi ending act.
n/a- Casper's First Christmas - Watched this again as I recorded it to DVD (first viewing was online). Isn't kind of strange at the end, when the animals celebrate Santa making them a
hunting lodge?
235- Meet the Santas * - 6/10 - Twenty minutes in, and I can't believe that people willingly participated in this. Finished it and it became bearable. But maybe the terrible dialogue just numbed me into submission. Edit to add: Doh! After seeing the two films of this series in the proper order, I have raised my score to 6, and apologize for my earlier remarks.
236- Amen - The Twelve Songs of Christmas * - 6/10 - Just ok.
237- Futurama - Xmas Story - 7/10 - Looking forward to watching the new movie.
238- Holidaze - The Christmas That Almost Didn't Happen * - 4/10 - A sad attempt to make a modern Rankin/Bass type Christmas special.
239- M*A*S*H* - Dear Sis - 7.5/10 - William Christopher episodes were often my favorites.
240- M*A*S*H* - Death Takes a Holiday - 7.5/10 - What a great series. How many stayed at a good to great quality for so long?
241- The Jetsons Christmas Carol * - ?/10 -
242- Single Santa Seeks Mrs. Claus * - 7/10 - Just figured out that I should have watched this before
Meet the Santas. I hate it when I watch things out of order, I refuse to do so actually, this was an accident. Who knew that anyone would greenlight a Steve Guttenberg movie sequel? Finished watching this and I must issue an apology. Either to humanity for turning into someone who like SG movies, or to the cast and crew of these two films. I was surprised to find myself really enjoying this, and if I had seen this one first I would not have razzed the sequel so much.
n/a- Yogi Bear's All-Star Comedy Christmas Caper - Watched this again to record it. I used to be able to do an ok Yogi voice imitation.
Monday, December 10th 2007-
243- Little House: Bless All the Dear Children (*?) - 7/10 - What a bizarre title. What about the undear children? This was one of the TV movies made after
Little House on the Prairie ceased production. Predictable, but it was still fun to reacquaint myself with these characters.
244- Barney Bear's Polar Pest * - 6.5/10 - I don't remember this character, but I keep seeing his shorts on
Boomerang.
245- Seasin's Greetinks! * - 6.5/10 - I was never much of a Popeye fan, although I do like spinach now.
246- A Garfield Christmas Special * - 2.5/10 - Darn
The Monkees for insisting on Garfield being in the checklist! I had already seen the better Thanksgiving special, and didn't need to see this one, but I had already opened the DVD and figured I might as well.
247- Friends - The One With the Monkey - 8/10 - "Hey, that monkey has a Ross on his ass."
248- Friends - The One With Phoebe's Dad - 7/10 - I forget, did she ever meet him?
249- Friends - The One Where Rachel Quits - 7.5/10 - "Dad loves the slots."
250- Friends - The One With the Girl From Poughkeepsie * - 5/10 - Friends should have quit when they were ahead.
251- Friends - The One With the Inappropriate Sister * - 4/10 - Flameball or whatever it was could be fun. I've invented office games before. One bad weather day we actually came up with Office Olympics, complete with medals.
252- Matlock - Santa Claus * - 7/10 - I love me some Andy Griffith.
Tuesday, December 11th 2007-
253- Friends - The One With All the Resolutions * - ?/10 - I didn't want to start watching New Years stuff until after Christmas, but since I had these borrowed Friends sets, I decided to just run thru them in order and get them out of my life forever.
254- Robot Chicken - Christmas Special - 8/10 - I only watch this show in small doses. I'm afraid it would wear out it's welcome if I watched more than an episode or two at a time.
255- Holiday in Handcuffs * - 4/10 - Had a few interesting ideas, but pretty crappy acting.
Wednesday, December 12th 2007-
256- Holiday Affair (1996) * - 6/10 - Good script, execution could have been better.
257- Friends - The One Where Ross Got High with commentary * - 4/10 (commentary rating) - I'll make all my commentary comments in a few entries.
258- Friends - The One With the Routine * - 3.5/10 - Elle Macpherson?
259- Friends - The One With All the Candy * - 4.5/10 - Would neighbors actually take candy off the door of a neighbor? It would have to be a flashing neon sign for me to even notice probably, and even then, I doubt I'd take any.
260- Friends - The One With the Holiday Armadillo * - 6/10 - Two points for the great costume.
261- Friends - The One With the Holiday Armadillo with commentary * - 4/10 commentary rating - So I went ahead and listened to two different commentaries on these Friends sets. I figured that while I had the sets, I might as well watch a few, since I will never borrow these sets again. Two was all I could take, I skipped several commentaries that would have counted. There were a few interesting tidbits of info, but mainly I just learned how full of himself David Crane is. He kept talking about how great the episodes were and how it was their finest work of the season. This over mediocre episodes at best.
262- Friends - The One With Ross's Step Forward * - 4.5/10 - It is difficult to come up with anything to say on these quite mediocre episodes.
263- Friends - The One With Christmas in Tulsa * - 4/10 - And extra point for Selma Blair. A pretty weak flashback episode.
n/a-
Friends - The One With Rachel's Going Away Party * - 4/10 - I never saw the series finale, so I decided to watch the last few episodes while I had the sets.
n/a-
Friends - The Last One: Part 1 * - 5/10 - I guess it is obvious that I'm not much of a Friends fan. I actually really enjoyed it the first few seasons, but feel it became quite bad after that point. It was still nice to see how they wrapped things up.
n/a-
Friends - The Last One: Part 2 * - 4/10 - An extra point for finally being done with Friends. Now onto one of my favorite holiday titles.

Thursday, December 13th 2007-
264- How the Grinch Stole Christmas - 10/10 - Sweet, I just realized that I get to use the best Christmas show ever as my birthday year checklist item! The is the original animated version of course, I still haven't seen the Jim Carrey travesty(?).
265- How the Grinch Stole Christmas with commentary - 7/10 commentary rating - Fun commentary from one of the animators and a voice actress extraordinaire June Foray.
266- An Accidental Christmas * - 6/10 - New Lifetime movie, not on IMDB yet.
267- Santa and the Three Bears * - 5/10 - I went into this thinking that it was a 1950's short, but it turned out to be a 76 minute 1970 special. Hmm, just submitted my first correction to IMDB, as the runtime here is only 45 minutes. It should have been 25 minutes, a very bloated story that moved at a snail's pace.
268- Jack Frost (1979) (*?) - 7/10 - Rankin/Bass did a heck of a lot more work than I remember. I still want to track down a few of their movies.
269- The Little Drummer Boy Book II * - 7/10 - I like their more religious work almost as much as the standards.
270- Nestor, The Long-Eared Christmas Donkey - 7/10 - Good think they added Christmas to the title, or I'm sure that a lot of people would have skipped it.
n/a- Happy Tree Friends - Kringle Karols - 7/10 - I've always had a fear of falling icicles. I love the CPR!
271- Winnie the Pooh and Christmas Too (*?) - 6.5/10 - I like the older Pooh stories more.
Friday, December 14th 2007-
272- Happy Tree Friends - Ski Ya Wouldn't Wanna Be Ya - 7/10 - Love the little touches like the satellite and the look of anticipatory fear in his face.
n/a- Happy Tree Friends - Kringle Presents - 8/10 - Perhaps the most disturbing mini-short.
273- The Proud Family - Seven Days of Kwanzaa * - 7/10 - Started off badly, but I liked the recovery.
274- Wayside - Sideways Christmas * - 6/10 - Another take on
A Christmas Carol.
275- Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! - O Figgety-Fig Tree; Snow Day * - 5/10 - What am I doing?
276- Happy Tree Friends - A Class Act - 10/10 - This is what got me hooked on HTF.
n/a- Happy Tree Friends - Kringle Tree - 5/10 - Predictable. Nice spit touch though.
277- Higglytown Heroes - Twinkle's Wish * - 6/10 - I wish I had kids to justify watching stuff like this.
n/a- Lake Anne Elementary School presents A Perfect Winter Day * - 10/10 - Had to give props to my niece's Christmas Chorus Show. This youtube video is not the Christmas show, just something random I found with her class. She's the beautiful one in the front row.
278- Kim Possible - A Very Possible Christmas * - 6/10 - Family rocks.
n/a- Go, Diego! Go! - Diego Saves Christmas * - Very little kids programming. I'm not counting because I was multi-tasking while watching and wasn't really paying much attention.
n/a- Oswald - Catrina's First Snow; The Snow Festival * - Very little kids programming. I'm not counting because I was multi-tasking while watching and wasn't really paying much attention.
279- Lazytown - Lazytown's Surprise Santa * - 5/10 - My best friends young kids watch this show. I think shows were better when we were that young.
280- Martin Mystery - Eternal Christmas * - 7/10 - Seems like a pretty cool show, sort of American anime ?
281- The Emperor's New School - A Giftmas Story * - 6.5/10 - Predictable, but not too bad.
282- Squidbillies - Rebel With a Claus * - 8.5/10 - I had watched this show once previously, and hated it. This episode had me laughing out loud. But maybe I was just tired of the last few hours of kids programming and needed something quite adult.
283- 30 Rock - Ludachristmas * - 8/10 - Great sitcom.
284- Alice - Mel, the Magi - 7.5/10 - One of my favorite
Alice episodes.
285- Amen - The Deacon's Donkey * - 6/10 - I didn't realize that Amen lasted five seasons.
286- Girlfriends - Deck the Halls With Bags and Folly * - 5/10 - Wow, that one GF has huge eyes. First time seeing this series, not really impressed.
287- The Game - The Ghost of Derwin Past * - 5.5/10 - Again, not impressed.
Saturday, December 15th 2007-
288- Seinfeld - The Pick - 8/10 - I guess they couldn't title it
The Nipple?
289- Still Standing - Still Thankful * - 3.5/10 - Doesn't seem like a sitcom that I'll watch outside of this challenge. Wasn't planning on watching anymore Thanksgiving episodes, but saw this while scanning for Christmas stuff.
290- Amen - Thelma Frye'd, Dough Girl * - 6/10 - Nice title, and scene of same.
n/a? - Alvin and the Chipmunks (2007) * - 7/10 - Great movie to see in a crowd of kids. Their laughter made me laugh as well, and partially overlook the weak dialogue and largely wasted David Cross.
291- Scarecrow and Mrs. King - The Long Christmas Eve * - 6/10 - Weird coincidence: In this adventure Amanda's cover is someone who lived in Silver Spring Maryland until she was three. I did the exact same thing. Do you think that is enough in common to write Kate Jackson a love letter?
292- A Flintstone Christmas * - 5/10 - This is one of at least 4 different Flinstones Christmas shows, but one where the kids are grown up and can talk, which are not nearly as good as the earlier
Flintstones. A 1977 TV special.
293- Celebrating Christmas: Christmas Out of the Box * - 7.5/10 - Fairly interesting documentary about the some of the origins of the holiday.
294- Bewitched - A Vision of Sugar Plums - 8/10 - A Bill Mumy guest role!
295- NewsRadio - Xmas Story - 9/10 - A Higgins Boy appearance! I miss Phil Hartman.
Sunday, December 16th 2007-
296- Christmas Comes to Pacland * - 1.5/10 - How incredibly awful.
297- Eight is Enough - Yes Nicholas, There is a Santa Claus: Part 1 (*?) - 7/10 - Grandpa Walton was the first Bad Santa.
298- The Flintstones - Christmas Flintstone * - 6/10 - Better. This was a season 5 episode. This is free on Amazon unbox if anyone wants to download it there.
299- Eight is Enough - Yes Nicholas, There is a Santa Claus: Part 2 (*?) - 7.5/10 - Darn show welled me up twice.
300- Camp Lazlo - Kamp Kringle * - 6/10 - Fairly enjoyable NickToons show.
301- Charlie and Lola Christmas Special * - 7.5/10 - This is a show for young kids I think, but I found it strangely mesmerizing and quite good.
n/a- Just Can't Wait for Christmas - Tigger, Pooh, and Friends * - Just a little Christmas music video promoting the new Christmas movie.
n/a- Little Cesario (*?) - 6.5/10 - This old MGM cartoon aired as part of the Christmas Party on Boomerang, but it isn't really holiday themed, so I won't count it.
302- Corneil and Bernie - Santa Paws * - 7.5/10 - Weird little show from France(?).
303- Danny Phantom - The Fright Before Christmas * - 7.5/10 - Fun show.
304- A Flintstones Christmas Carol * - 5/10 - My third Flintstones Christmas foray, the 1994 TV movie. Fred was a bit of a jerk, wasn't he?
305- Cave Kids - Cave Kid Christmas * - ?/10 - I'll try to finish off the Flintstones Christmas canon.
306- Tailspin - A Jolly Molly Christmas * - 5.5/10 - It can snow anywhere if you're on the nice list.
307- Pinocchio's Christmas * - 6.5/10 - Another Rankin/Bass production that I had never heard of.
308- The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries - A Nutcracker Scoob * - 3/10 - Scrappy Doo dreck.
309- Tom and Jerry: A Nutcracker Tale * - 6.5/10 - Average.
310- The Bear That Couldn't Sleep (*?) - 7/10 - A Barney Bear cartoon.
311- Pink Panther - The Hand is Pinker Than the Eye - 7.5/10 - On Christmas Party.
312- Codename: Kids Next Door - Operation N.A.U.G.H.T.Y. * - 8/10 - Fun X-Men parody.
313- Sabrina, The Teenage Witch - Sabrina Claus * - 6/10 - Seems to be my theme lately, star of the show takes over the job for SC.
314- Smurfs Christmas Special * - 6/10 - From 1982. This second exposure to the Smurfs was slightly better than my first.
315- A Flintstones Family Christmas * - 6.5/10 - My fifth Flintstones Christmas show in the past 24 hours. I never liked The Flintstones, so I imagined that I would dislike them more and more as I watched them today. But this one was actually the best of the bunch.
316- Aqua Teen Hunger Force - Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past From the Future - 9/10 - Brilliant.
Monday, December 17th 2007-
317- All I Want For Christmas (2007) * - 7.5/10 - I think you can figure out all the surprises and conclusions in these Christmas movies ten minutes in, and yet I still quite enjoy them.
318- A Diva's Christmas Carol * - 5.5/10 - I think I'm Christmas Caroled out, although I am really looking forward to watching
Scrooged again.
Tuesday, December 18th 2007-
319- Angel in the Family * - 6/10 - I think this story had a lot more potential than they were able to convey.
320- Christmas Caper * - 6.5/10 - I really wanted to hate this movie for some reason, maybe my misgivings about Shannen Doherty, but it was pretty good.
321- The Santa Clause - 6/10 - This could have been a much better movie. I like the story, the acting was ok, but I kept noticing little things that could have been much better. Missed opportunities for great lines and bad editing seemed to jump at me every few minutes
322- Monk - Mr. Monk and the Man Who Shot Santa Claus * - 7.5/10 - Good to hear he'll be back on NBC.
Wednesday, December 19th 2007-
323- Psych - Gus's Dad May Have Killed an Old Guy * - 8.5/10 - Great to see Claire Huxtable and Ernie Hudson again.
324- Home Improvement - 'Twas the Blight Before Christmas - 7/10 - I always enjoyed this sitcom. Not great, but always fun to watch if I stumbled upon it.
325- Happy Tree Friends - We're Scrooged * - 7/10 - A brand new Christmas cartoon.
n/a- Happy Tree Friends - Tinkle Bells * - Not really HTF, but a short from Mondo on their page right now.
326- Fred Claus * - 4.5/10 - I haven't enjoyed a Vince Vaughn film in quite awhile.
Thursday, December 20th 2007-
327- American Dad - The Most Adequate Christmas Ever * - 6/10 - A far far below adequate show rises to a mediocre level.
328- The Venture Bros. - A Very Venture Christmas
