Omg horrid! That trailer looks like a spoof video instead of a trailer for an actual movie.

I'm in the same boat. I don't want to watch it at all. I think it is an abomination. In the same sense, curiosity usually gets the best of me... I saw Blues Brothers 2000 on opening weekend.
I am expecting to hate it, and I don't want to pay a single cent to see it. But I have a feeling that I will break before the end of the season. If I were a cat, I would be dead.

This challenge is by far my favourite. Can't wait for it to start.
I've got a few of my favourites on BR now.
On the A Christmas Story 2 front, I expect it to be every bit as bad if not worse then Christmas Vacation 2, but I need to see it at least once.

I just now realized that the recent posts were about a Christmas Story sequel and not the horrid Christmas Vacation sequel. I just watched the trailer and threw up in my mouth a little bit.

Even though I've heard mixed reviews, I'm excited to finally check out "Silent Night, Deadly Night" since the original two movies are being re-released by Anchor Bay in their unrated, uncut versions. Have wanted to check these out for quite some time, but never wanted to pay the ridiculous OOP premium. Two articles and Amazon pre-order link below:

http://www.amazon.com/Silent-Night-D...t+deadly+night
The remake is also coming to limited theaters on November 30 and will be released on DVD/blu-ray on December 4. Trailer was released today:

I'll probably watching a lot of netflix or tv for this chalolenge, as the only Christmas DVDs I have are the He Man She Ra Christmas Special, 1951 Alastair Sim Christmas Carol, with the 1935 version included as bonus content, The man who Saved Christmas, and Santa Claus Conquers the Martians.

Given the criteria, would a special episode of a TV series that is called "A Christmas Special" episode yet doesn't take place at Christmas count for this challenge? Fortunately, I can only think of one right now, but it occurs to me that several (UK) sitcoms produce reunion and special episodes to be shown at the peak family viewing time of Christmas/Boxing Day... and I'm not sure all of them would necessarily be set then... but they're sort of Christmassy in spirit.
Just a quick query/thought.

Can somebody point me (us) in the direction of the lists that someone made up years ago of all of the TV shows that have Christmas specials?

(I'm genuinely struggling to think of a show - that I watch(ed), which is obviously a selection bias - that didn't have one.)

Here are the links to what he put up most recently:
Thanksgiving List (Post 74)
Christmas List (Post 75)
New Years / Misc List (Post 76)
And Wezzo posted some updates to those lists that I don't believe got integrated.

I was revisiting the discussion threads from 2010 and 2011 looking for title inspiration for this year and ran across this post from 2010:
Well... their anniversary is 11/11 so be sure to offer congrats!
Fwiw, sorry for my non-activity this Challenge. I started a new relationship last month and she's been quite amazing. We've been texting pretty much non-stop for over two weeks now. Not much time for TV obviously. I'm sure I've thought this before and will come down to earth eventually, but if I had to bet right now, I'd say I'm going to marry this girl.

Wow, thanks Bob! That brightened my day and hopefully makes Jen more "positive" about my DVDTalk addiction.

I wish one existed for Halloween episodes... those are sometimes a little harder to find.

I was in a work meeting today and a couple people were debating whether there was a Charlie Brown TV special about Thanksgiving. One checked IMDb and announced as she read, "Yep, a short film from 1973." Other person: "I had no idea."
Yikes.
