Re: It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like the 6th Annual Holiday Challenge (11/22-1/1)

I've been working ridulous hours this week, so I probably won't be able to update my lists until Saturday and Sunday. For the movies/specials, refer back to the links from last year. I will add the IMDB links this weekend.

I quickly went through some of the shows next week for Thanksgiving related content and I think "How I met your Mother" and "Mike & Molly" are Thanksgiving themed next week. There also looked to be a couple Food Network Thanksgiving shows hosted by Giada. I'm not a regular viewer of Food Network, but I will have no problem watching those shows

What about someone setting up a google spreadsheet and post an edit link so anyone can add holiday shows/movies to it? Just a thought.

That's a good idea. I might work on that tonight.

^ There could be a problem if 2 people try to update it at one time...

I do something similar with other people. When there's multiple people, it shows who's doing edits and they happen in real time.

Wait what, this starts tomorrow? I never even paid attention, just assumed it would start on T-Day. Hmmm, I might have to try and adjust my plans.

This sounds like a very good idea, will sort of be a wiki for qualifiers.

My list will start tonight with the Thanksgiving episode of how i met your mother.

Ok, I have a question of eligibility. Friday Night Lights - Season 4, Episode 12 ("Laboring") takes place the week leading up to Thanksgiving. The following episode includes Thanksgiving (and is titled "Thanksgiving"), so obviously that one counts. How about "Laboring"?

Sounds fine to me. Since it takes place the week of Thanksgiving

Here's a question for everyone participating in the checklist. The 2009 Jim Carrey Christmas Carol, would that count as watching something that's animated about Christmas? I'm not sure if that would count because it's that weird animation, so would it count?

It's listed as Animation on IMDb, so I would say yes.

Wow, Planes, Trains and Automobiles really makes me miss John Candy. What an underrated comedic actor.

WOW! I'd just edited my list, looked at a few others thinking "how in the world do I go about finding holiday themed TV episodes?". I then catch up on this thread.

THANK YOU FOR THESE LISTS!!!!

They will make things *lots* simpler and give more time for watching instead of researching!
