Monday, November 24th, 2008

1. Iron Chef America - "Symon vs. Moore: Thanksgiving" - [Food Network] - 5/10 ☼

I've actually never seen Iron Chef America before. Not as entertaining as the original Iron Chef since people are actually speaking English. I like the over-the-top translators of the original Iron Chef. I do like one of the judges, Ted Allen, I think he was on Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.

2. Iron Chef America - "Thanksgiving Showdown" - [Food Network] - 7/10 ☼

Great episode. It was 2 vs. 2 in this episode. It's amazing what these guys can do. I know there is more behind the scenes items that we don't see, but nonetheless, it's very impressive. Tiki Barber was worthless as a judge. Lou Diamond Phillips was excellent... knew his stuff! Morimoto and Cora got robbed! Their originality was WAY better than Flay/Simon. Final though, I think I have a mini-crush on Cat Cora now.

3. The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air - "There's the Rub: Part 1" - [Nickelodeon] - 4/10 ☼

I think I'll watch part II, but I think after last year and this year, I'm about done with The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. An interesting appearance by one of the Home Improvement sons.

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

4. The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air - "There's the Rub: Part 2" - [Nickelodeon] - 4/10 ☼

Note to self: Always add two minutes to any Nickelodeon recordings. Done with Will Smith this year!

Wednesday, November 26th, 2008

5. Bewitched - "Samantha's Thanksgiving to Remember" - [WGN] - 4/10

I haven't watched Bewitched for such a long time. I used to watch it on re-runs in the 80's. This episode was pretty lame. I also couldn't tell if this episode was colorized. It looked a little bizarre to me.

6. Gary Unmarried - "Gary Gives Thanks" - [CBSHD] - 8/10 ☼

Never seen this show before. Typically I have not been a big fan of Jay Mohr, but this show was really funny! I may actually start recording this show. Paula Marshall is also in this show, she looked really familiar and I realized she was on of the more memorable episodes of Seinfeld. Quite the cast.

7. That 70's Show - "Thanksgiving" - [F/X] - 8/10

8. Newhart - "Thanksgiving for the Memories" - [Nickelodeon] - 6/10

Love Bob Newhart. It's been such a long time since I've seen the show. Not my favorite episode, but brings back some memories.

Thursday, November 27th, 2008

9. Night Court - "The Last Temptation of Mac" - [??] - 7/10

Some classic one-liners in this episode. I love that about Night Court.

Friday, November 28th, 2008

10. That 70's Show - "Thank You" - [F/X] - 7/10

Saturday, November 29th, 2008

11. Thanksgiving Unwrapped - [Food Network] - 6/10

Not as interesting as Christmas Unwrapped. It was cool nonetheless. For some reason there is something enthralling about watching how food is made.

12. A Colbert Colbert Christmas: The Greatest Gift - [Comedy Central] - 3/10 ☼

This was just not really that funny at all. I didn't realize it was going to be some lame random songs.

Thursday, December 11th, 2008

13. The Office - "Moroccan Christmas" - [NBC HD] - 7/10 ☼

A classic one-liner that I almost missed: "I think I can find ways to push Meredith to the bottom. I did it with Jan."

Friday, December 12th, 2008

14. Kath & Kim - "Friends" - [NBC HD] - 6/10 ☼

Ok, yes, I watch this show. Ok, yes, I only watch the show because Selma Blair is in it . I really am not a big fan of Molly Shannon, but she is pretty good in the role that is required. John Michael Higgins has been in a lot of the Christopher Guest movies, and he is good in his role as Phil.

15. Love Actually [DVD] - 8/10 ☼

One of my friends at work highly suggested it, and so I finally bought it. An excellent movie. The cast was pretty amazing. It was nice that they didn't try too hard to bring everyone's stories together, it felt pretty natural. I was disappointed in the Laura Linney story, I thought there would be more to that storyline. The ending was excellent.

Saturday, December 13th, 2008

16. Eastern Promises [DVD] - 8/10 ☼

Quite a departure for what I'm used to in a Cronenberg movie. Viggo Mortensen was amazing in his role. He most certainly deserved the Academy Award nomination last year.

Sunday, December 14th, 2008

17. Saturday Night Live 12/13/08 [NBC HD] - 2/10 ☼

This was really one of the worst Saturday Night Live episodes I have ever seen. I have seriously considered putting a hiatus on my viewing of SNL for a while. It really is the writing of the skits. The skits were absolutely horrible and not funny at all.

Monday, December 15th, 2008

18. My Name is Earl - "Orphan Earl" - [NBC HD] - 7/10 ☼

19. Christmas Vacation [DVD] - 10/10

Best comedy...ever. Enough said

Tuesday, December 16th, 2008

20. 30 Rock - "Christmas Special" - [NBC HD] - 8/10 ☼

Another solid 30 Rock episode. I look forward to this show every week. I can't believe Alec Baldwin almost left in the first season. Thank god they got him to stay.

21. American Dad - "The Most Adequate Christmas Ever" - [FOX] - 9/10

Probably my favorite American Dad ever.

Wednesday, December 24th, 2008

22. Corner Gas - "Merry Gasmas" - [NBC HD] - 4/10 ☼

I was looking forward to watching this show, as I had never seen it before, but I was greatly disappointed. The acting was pretty bad, and the girl with the lisp annoyed me quite a bit. I would probably give it one more shot, but massively disappointed in my initial viewing.

23. A Christmas Story - [HD DVD] - 10/10

"Fra-Gil-eh," must be Italian.

Friday, December 26th, 2008

24. How I Met Your Mother - [CBS HD] - 7/10 ☼

I watched one episode last year and it is a pretty witty show. I thought the whole slapping idea was a bit silly, but the episode was solid.

Miscellaneous Statistics
Total Watched Time This Month: 21 Hours, and 17 Minutes
Average Watched Time Per Day: 0 Hours and 33 Minutes

Final Note: Wow, I was pretty worthless in this challenge. It's so surprising considering how much fun I had last year. I even bought a few titles specifically for this challenge. I vow to do much better next year.

2. Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987, DVD)

Thursday, November 27th, 2008
• Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade 2008* (2008, NBC-HD)
Since I didn't watch the whole thing (just parts of it here and there as I hooked up the Blu-ray player), I won't count it.

Friday, November 28th, 2008
3. The Simpsons: "Bart vs. Thanksgiving" (1990, DVD)

Saturday, November 29th, 2008
4. Edward Scissorhands (1990, Blu-ray)
It appears there was some debate over whether or not this movie counts. Since part of it obviously takes place during the holidays (with the decorating of the tree and the whole "snow" thing), I decided to count it. It also has a Christmas feeling to it.
5. The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993, Blu-ray)
Without even really realizing (or planning) it, I did a "Tim Burton-A-Thon". After Edward Scissorhands, my daughter requested Pee Wee's Big Adventure, which we watched some of as we got ready to go out. Then the next night, we watched Beetlejuice.

Sunday, November 30th, 2008
6. Mickey's Once Upon A Christmas (1999, DVD)
7. Mickey's Magical Christmas: Snowed In at the House of Mouse (2001, DVD)
8. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Mickey Saves Santa (2006, DVD)
The above three entries, along with Mickey's Twice Upon A Christmas, document only the first of many viewings. My daughter has already requested the latter twice already. I may or may not be watching them... but rest assured, they'll be on at our place throughout the season.
9. NewsRadio: "Xmas Story"* (1995, DVD)

Wednesday, November 24th, 2008
• Yule Log (???, Comcast On Demand)
On in the background as we opened gifts.
• It's A Wonderful Life (1946, NBC)
This was on in the background at my mom's. I tried to catch as much as possible but with people talking and getting up regularly to refill my beverage and hit the food table, I didn't see the whole thing.

Thursday, November 25th, 2008
• The Happy Holiday Hearth (???, DVD)
Pretty much the same thing as the Yule Log. On in the background as we opened gifts.
27. A Christmas Story (1983, TBS-HD)
• A Christmas Story (1983, TBS-HD)
• A Christmas Story (1983, TBS-HD)
• A Christmas Story (1983, TBS-HD)
• A Christmas Story (1983, TBS-HD)
• A Christmas Story (1983, TBS-HD)
My wife tried to change the channel at one point during this marathon. I explained to her that even though I wasn't actively watching it every time it was on, having it on as we do our Christmas thing is now tradition. Besides, when you've seen it that many times, you mostly just need to hear it. The visuals are embedded in our heads anyway.

35. New Year's Countdown* (2008, ABC-HD)
I missed Dick Clark this year because we were playing Wii, but I caught the Chicago countdown show. I watched some of the Dick Clark re-broadcast after midnight though.

Thursday, January 1st, 2009
36. {WILD CARD} Detroit Red Wings vs. Chicago Blackhawks at Wrigley Field* (2009, NBC-HD)
While not a movie or a TV show, this Winter Classic only happens once a year... ON New Years. And it probably won't return to Chicago anytime soon.
37. The Office - "Moroccan Christmas"* (2008, DVR, NBC-HD)
Never got to this one before Christmas and we had some episodes of The Office on our DVR that we needed to get through. This was one of them.
38. Ghostbusters II (1989, DVD)
Not your typical New Years movie, but I haven't seen it in a while. I actually had Trading Places and 200 Cigarettes waiting in the queue, but never got to them. Maybe next year.


And that concludes my 2008 Holiday Movie Challenge List!

[Sparrow]

Goal: 45


NOVEMBER 24th
1. The Santa Clause - *** This one is starting to show its age, however, it's still on heavy rotation and I can't quite get enough of this silliness.
2. Bad Santa - **1/2 Rude, crass and hilarious. I picked this up on BD some time ago and decided that it was time to break open the case.

NOVEMBER 30th
3. A Christmas Story - **** Youth and good old-fashioned movies. We have this on heavy rotation as well.
4. Miracle on 34th Street (1994) - ***1/2 Not quite as heart-wrenching as the original, but throughly enjoyable.
5. Miracle on 34th Street (1947) - ****Outstanding feel good movie. My family prefers this version, but there's only one Kris Kringle.

December 1st
6. The Grinch Who Stole Christmas (Live-Action) - ** I'm still not sure why I subject myself to this one each year, but it may be because the kids think it's hilarious.....

December 10th
7. The Grinch Who Stole Christmas (Classic animated) - **** The kids found the grinch funny looking! A great classic, I find myself quoting it to my mother.

December 23rd
8. A Christmas Carol - **** This is the first year that I haven't been able to see this at our local theatre, however, this more than made up for not seeing it locally. True holiday classic!
9. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation - - 1/2 * Once upon a time, I found this fairly amusing...that's no longer the case.

December 24th
8. It's a Wonderful Life (x2) - **** I can always count of this one to pull on the heart strings. It's still making its rounds in the background, we can't get enough of old George.
9. The Year Without Santa Claus - *** What's Christmas Eve without the slight scare that Santa has retired?
10. Robbie the Reindeer - **
11. A Spongebob Christmas - **
12. The Polar Express - *** Once I trained my eyes to accept the CGI, this was very entertaining (on SD DVD).

December 25th A Rankin-Bass Day
13. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer - **** These have become a family tradition and never get old.
14. Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town - ****
15. Frosty the Snowman - ****
