http://www.scalzi.com/whatever/003030.htmlThere are probably some lists of worst real "Specials" out there ("The Star Wars Holiday Special" comes to mind). Anyone have a least favorite?

>Anyone have a least favorite? Theres actually a Star Wars Holiday Special? What does Darth Vadar decorate the tree? I'm probably going to be alone on this one but I just hate "Its a Wonderfu Life". The reason, the people here are stupid enough to pass up good money for values and morals. I'll give you an example. Mr. Potters offers Mr. Bailey a $20,000 a year job. Now keep in mind this is around the 20's 30's and 40's. So this is alot of money back then. Not only that he'll get to travel! (What he always wanted to do). All he had to do was close down his store and join him. What does he do? HE TURNS HIM DOWN! I mean jeez...
My Most favorite Holiday special is "A Christmas Story". It reminds me of simpler times.

Yep there actually is a Star Wars Holiday Special(I was going to mention that one as well)IIRC back in Dec 77 at the peak of Star Wars mania they slapped together this shlocky piece O crap as a tie in fortunately time has been kind and wiped most of the details from my mind save for the title of one of the songs(What Do You Get A Wookie For Christmas When He Already Has A Comb)Please I beg of you for your own sanity do not I repeat DO NOT try to track this down you will regret it it's awsomely horrible but not in a "good" Plan 9 From Outer Space way.(actually surprised Lucas hasn't tried to buy up all existing copies for destruction)Gary S

Ever see the SNL parody of "It's a Wonderful Life"? It adds a scene where they figure out Potter stole the deposit.Back to the worst...There's also the "He-Man/She-Ra Christmas Special". You just can't have Christmas without thinly-disguised-toy-commercial cartoon special. Or who can forget the magic of a "Smurf Christmas"?
