Any Of You Willing To Admit That You Watch Kids' Christmas Shows?

[WiVoter]

My favorite: Rudolph

[redwitch]

1. I love that movie!

“Herbie doesn’t like to make toys!”

[debm55]

6. Isn't his name Hermie?

[choie]

8. Yes, it's Hermie!

[debm55]

12. Though I think half the show it's Herbie and the other half it's Hermie

And boss elf reminds me of that right wing nut, Jason Miller.

[choie]

30. No!!!!

[yorkster]

2. Yup. Charlie Brown and a few others.

Also, the Snowman even though it was well past my childhood. Visually beautiful, gorgeous music. My then very young nephew loved it.

[Tree-Hugger]

3. Of course!

No shame.

[applegrove]

4. Only kids' show I ever watch is the Sound of Music. That is usually on at Easter.

[debm55]

7. applegrove, you missed it, it was on Sunday, I watched it.

[applegrove]

11. Oh Damn. It is one of the only movies I watch again and again.

[debm55]

14. Sorry, I didn't know it was on either until I saw a post here. I almost missed that breathtaking

opening scene.

[Pobeka]

15. I read about how they filmed the opening scene according to Julie Andrews. Pretty funny.

Worth a read if you haven't, and can find it. I think maybe it was an interview about a book she had written? ...

[debm55]

19. I think I read it, Wasn't it done by helicopter in the bitter cold since they didn,t have drones.

They had to do 3 or 4 takes with Julie warming up under blankets. I am a huge fan,. In real life Maria was not the sweet one, the caption was.

[Pobeka]

20. I don't remember it being cold, but helicopter yes.

And she said after every take the helicopter would land very close, and then take off and totally mess up her hair and costume in the prop wash, so wardrobe makeup would spend a bunch of time on every take redoing her hair.

There was a bit more to it than just that though, IIRC.

[debm55]

22. If you look closely at the last scene when they are crossing mountain path, you can see the

helicopter blades moving the grass.

[debm55]

5. Mine too!

[choie]

9. How the Grinch Stole Christmas!

great theme song!

[Aristus]

31. The original Chuck Jones animated special from the 1960's only, please.

Narrated by Boris Karloff. Nothing else even comes close.

I always cry when the Grinch's heart grows three sizes.

[TlalocW]

10. Yep

Try to watch as many as possible

Muppet Christmas ones
Charlie Brown
Rudolph/Santa stop motion
California Raisins
Grinch - old cartoon, Jim Carrey, new cartoon
Garfield
A Cosmic Christmas
Ziggy's Gift

And if you haven't gotten a chance to see it and have Netflix - Klaus is a great adaptation of the Santa Claus story with great voices, one of Norm MacDonald's last roles, and some tear-jerking moments.

13. It doesn't feel like the season until the Peanuts gang shouts "Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown"

And since I don't feel like another subscription (Apple TV I think has the exclusive on it), I'm not going to hear it this year. Which I guess counts as a Festivus grievance

[debm55]

17. Yes, I aslways watched it. I couldn't find it on the major stations. Missed Rudolph too. when was

that on?

[NotASurfer]

23. TV Guide says Rudolph was on CBS at the end of November

And it's being run on something called Freeform this month. Another streaming something I guess. And another grievance for Festivus

[debm55]

24. Thanks, I gues that's why I missed it.

Didn't start looking until looking until December.

[IcyPeas]

16. I have 4 kids' shows on my DVR

The Snowman (this is available now on YouTube)
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
A Charlie Brown Christmas

Not Christmas, but...

It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown

[Tetrachloride]

18. The Heat Miser song

[PortTack]

25. Dearly love the muppet Christmas Carol!

[Mad_Dem_X]

26. I love watching the Charlie Brown Christmas special

And, even though I'm an atheist, I still get a little choked up over Linus' "true meaning of Christmas" speech.

[Prairie_Seagull]

27. We are all every age we have ever been.

For me it's Charlie Brown Christmas. I don't know but maybe I just an old EMO.

[edhopper]

28. Admit

signifies there is something wrong with it. There's not.

[Phentex]

29. No shame! I like kids' Christmas music too!

We watched Santa Claus is Coming to Town recently. Will of course watch The Muppet Christmas Carol and listen to John Denver and the Muppets Christmas album (Spotify).
