Joy to the TV Christmas Special, or Not.

Today on NPR many news shows broadcast segments devoted (yes, that’s the word) to TV ‘Christmas Specials” – old and more recent – that continue to draw a large audience during the few frenzied weeks of madness.

Yes, there was nostalgia for the Charlie Brown Christmas – Mr. Magoo’s Christmas, Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer, The Walton’s, Muppets, Mickey Mouse, Frosty the Snowman, yes, and even the infamous Star Wars Christmas Special (which is not to be believed) and on and on…And in spite of all this, the baby Jesus was born anyway.

However, there was not one mention of the fabled “Pee Wee’s Playhouse Christmas Special.” Perhaps there’s a clue in this opening number. Just look at the lineup of guests for this thing. And no, these are not singing marines, you silly person. Enjoy

Um, Merry Christmas?

Yes!

And so it goes.

  2. Watching that (real Marines or not) I could only think of Cher singing amidst the sailors.
