Posted: 12/4/12 at 4:02amI always loved The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus, based on the L. Frank Baum book. I believe it was the last of the Rankin-Bass stop motion Christmas specials, but as far as I can tell it has yet to be released on DVD. I think it still shows up on ABC Family during their 25 Days of Christmas, though that doesn't help me since I don't have cable.

AEA AGMA SM-It looks like you can get that one on Amazon in a set with Nestor, The Long Eared Christmas Donkey.

ABC Family actually has cut back on those specials significantly. You still see A Year Without A Santa Claus and Santa Claus is Coming To Town all the time. A lot of the others you are lucky to see once now.
I wish they would show the Garfield holiday specials again. Those were on CBS in the 80's and early 90's.

The original (and very first Hallmark Hall of Fame) broadcast of "Amahl and the Night Visitors" in 1951.
You can buy a later kinescope on DVD (1956 I think), but neither version seems to show up on TV.

Two Sundays from now, December 16 at 8:00 p.m., TCM will re-broadcast, for the first time anywhere in 48 years, 1964’s “Carol for Another Christmas.” This movie is rather an oddity. From its Wiki:
Presented without commercial interruptions, this "United Nations Special" was sponsored by the Xerox Corporation, the first of a series of Xerox specials promoting the UN. Director Joseph Mankiewicz's first work for television, the 90-minute ABC drama was publicized as having an all-star cast (which meant that names of some supporting cast members were not officially released). In Rod Serling's update of Charles Dickens, industrial tycoon Daniel Grudge (Sterling Hayden) has never recovered from the loss of his 22-year-old son Marley (Peter Fonda), killed in action during Christmas Eve of 1944. The embittered Grudge has only scorn for any American involvement in international affairs. But then the Ghost of Christmas Past (Steve Lawrence) takes him back through time to a World War I troopship. Grudge also is visited by the Ghost of Christmas Present (Pat Hingle), and the Ghost of Christmas Future (Robert Shaw) gives him a tour across a desolate landscape where he sees the ruins of a once-great civilization.
Until now, it has only ever been viewable at Paley Center locations and the archives at UCLA.
Does anyone remember this movie from its original broadcast?

The PBS stations in the NY Metro area are broadcasting highlights from those specials.
Someone please, Please, PLEASE, rebroadcast the Captain & Tennille Christmas Special!

I agree with Goth about "The House Without a Christmas Tree". Natwick, Robards and the wonderful Lisa Lucas who did this, "The Turning Point", "An Unmarried Woman" (nom'd for a NYFCC as supporting actress) and then disappeared. I have it on dvd.
Also, "The Homecoming" which spawned "The Waltons" series.

I too wish they'd rebroadcast those Garfield specials.
The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus really frightened me when I was younger. I hope to never see it again.

The Simpsons' take off of the Shining summed it up for me:
Mr. Burns: This house has quite a long and colorful history. It was built on an ancient Indian burial ground, and was the setting of Satanic rituals, witch-burnings, and five John Denver Christmas specials.
Homer: [shudders] Oh... John Denver.

I feel like a Very Brady Christmas hasn't been seen in a while...and that gives me a case of the sadz.
The Star Wars Holiday Special is a bizarre mixture of unwatchable Wookies, Harvey Korman in space drag, Bea Arthur going for the Tony in 'Closing Time' and Carrie Fisher singing a glassy-eyed tribute to 'Life Day' after skiing down a mountain of cocaine.
And I own every last blessed F*CKing second of it.

^ ABC Family had A Very Brady Christmas on at midnight on Saturday. I know, ridiculous.
I just thought of others. PBS needs to show Christmas Eve on Sesame Street again. It had all the great characters, including Mr. Hooper. And no current annoying Elmo.
I also love A Muppet Family Christmas. None of that cutting crap that they did to the dvd either. I refuse to buy it because apparently it's missing songs.
Comedy Central also should bring back Mystery Science Theater to air such classics like Santa Claus Conquers the Martians and Santa Claus.

The 1971 animated version of "A Christmas Carol," produced by Chuck Jones and directed by Richard Williams. The cast (Alastair Sim, Michael Redgrave, Michael Hordern) is as astonishing as the animation.
I saw it only once on TV as a kid and spent the next several decades trying to find it. Despite having won the Oscar for animated short, it pretty much disappeared.

Posted: 12/4/12 at 10:58amChristmas Eve on Sesame Street!!!! I adored that as a child. I remember my family would be gathering for Xmas Eve dinner, but I refused to leave the tv.

I also loved "The Homecoming," with Patricia Neal as Mrs. Walton!
And whatever Disney special it was that featured Andrea McArdle singing "Home" from "The Wiz."

George Lucas wants that special buried forever which is saying something when you consider what he lets out for public consumption. I actually wouldn't surprise me if the Disney deal specifically stated it could never be released.
I feel like I saw that Chuck Jones Christmas Carol.
And there was a good Sesame Street Christmas special that was a pastiche of It's a Wonderful Life that I really enjoyed.

The Chuck Jones Christmas Carol is on youtube!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUZfW1W_CMM
Even though it, too, is on youtube, I wish the Rankin/Bass 'Twas the Night Before Christmas was on TV more frequently. It seems to only be on once during the lead up to Christmas, and that is just not enough.
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

I'm filled with rage right now that I missed A Very Brady Christmas. LUCKILY I caught that A Diva's Christmas Carol was on last night and got it on my DVR for my holiday viewing pleasure.
I remember as a kid, they used to show all the old Christmas episodes of 50's and 60's tv shows. The Lassie ones were terribly depressing. But the Dennis the Menace ones were just delightful.

Posted: 12/4/12 at 11:50amDoes anyone remember The Adventures of Candy Claus from the 1980s? That one I found on youtube last year and it is really weird and messed up. There was no real plot or resolution to the story. But, there was the part where they were making Candy Claus and it was like an acid trip gone bad. I also remember they advertised a 900 number to call for stories.

ME TOO! And rage is the antithesis of everything the beloved Bradys are about.
