Dear Posters,

Them Christmas shows are already heating up!

You got yourselves a Western-themed Christmas on Saturday on METV. Sunday they have other old shows, including the Petticoat Junction ones, which are actually pretty good. Never miss 'em.

Dec. 13th: The Twilight Zone episode with Art Carney as Santa. Some of the drunkenness is a little too realistic, but it's a great one.

Dec. 17th: One of the All in the Family ones I like about the draft dodger.

The Missus won't let me watch Christmas in the Smokies anymore, but I don't even see it in the listings anyway. Totally G-rated, but (apparently) I kept saying, "Damn, girl" while watching.

Radio play performance of It's a Wonderful Life at the Athenaeum Theatre coming up, too. Everyone in my house (besides ol' Tommy) is too hip or cynical to see it.

Best,

XXXX

I don't Know if it was a Christmas episode or not but the absolute funniest episode of anything Christmas kind related was the episode of WKRP IN CINCINATTI when they had the "BIG GUY" and crew dropping live turkey's in a parking lot. With Les Nessen their farm reporter doing the play by play of the turkey drop like the guy describing the WRECK OF THE HINDENBERG as the turkeys crashed into cars and people on the ground.

Then the next scene was the Big Guy covered in feathers walking into the studio and says "AS GOD IS MY WITNESS, I HONESTLY THOUGHT THAT TURKEYS COULD FLY"!!!

You don’t know if it was a Christmas episode or not? You have to be a mult, right??

My wife stumbled across Christmas in the Smokies the other day. Barry Corbin is slowly morphing into Wilfred Brimley. Was waiting for him to say Diabetes during one of his conversations. Actually, the wife and daughter seem to be on a Christmas in... kick right now. Hallmark movies might be bad but they are better in the insp networks stuff.

Spoken like a man from a large, Irish family.

I bet visiting Tommy's house is quite a trip. I imagine his family room is walled with wood paneling, his couch is carefully fitted with clear plastic covering, and his family gathers to watch their favorite Christmas entertainment on a 13" black-and-white Zenith TV. Somewhere in the room there's undoubtedly also a glass dish filled with Brach's caramels and butterscotch candy. He's probably got a pinup of Raquel Welch stashed under the sofa, too.

True. Well, we have a 19" black and white jobber, and it's a Magnavox. Cut my hand slapping it during the Tangerine Bowl (or whatever they call it now) last year, but she holds up.
