The pilot to the Waltons. Patricia Neal was such a great actress.

Hard one.....probably a tie between Frosty the Snowman (the original), and Garfield's Christmas special.

That's a good one Rick. The on set acting coach for this movie got to keep the dog after the movie was over. Somewhere I have a picture of my daughter with that dog at the coach's house from about 6 years ago. It is as shaggy and adorable in person, it just didn't have the antlers!

That's cool. I thought Jim Carrey was great in that movie. He ate that role up.

Which gives me an idea for a new avatar. :twisted:

I'd say it is Charlie Brown.....followed closely by The Year Without a Santa Claus.

Can you believe I've NEVER seen a Christmas Story?? My daughter is Tivo' ing it tomorrow night so we can watch it.

Deb...the Grinch cartoon was on last night!!

by **conversationpc** » Wed Dec 03, 2008 12:57 pm

How the Grinch Stole Christmas (the old cartoon version, not the movie)

Universal studios here has a "Whoville" area in the Dr. Suess area they have. Every christmas they have someone dressed to look just like Jim Carey in the movie and he is just as funny and mean to the kids. They actually wait in line to see him just like you would to see Santa, and then you can get a picture. We did it with our kids when they were younger and he was hilarious with them! It's kind of like going to see a mean Santa :lol:

Darnit, missed it last year too.

Rick, love the new AV. :lol:

My favorite character of his is still Fire Marshall Bill. :lol:

I love Charlie Brown's Christmas the most, but I love 'em all, Grinch, Rudolph, SC is coming to town, etc....have always watched them probably every year since the first time they were broadcast...I'm a kid at heart. Another one I loved was the 1972 Hallmark t.v. movie, "The House without a Christmas Tree" starring Jason Robards - finally got the video about 2 yrs ago (cuz they didn't have the DVD).
I also remember loving "The Snow Queen" animated movie on the Art Linkletter show...found it again last year.
Anyone ever watch the Bing Crosby Christmas shows every year? Loved those, 'too.

Yep!! That's mine!!!
I look forward to TBS's 24 hours of A Christmas Story every year.
I LOVE that flick and I never get tired of it. But I don't watch it until December.
That's a December only treat!!!

Second favorite is "Mickey's Christmas Carol" which I loved as a kid and FINALLY (just this week) found it on dvd.
