9. Not to get TOO far off topic here, but...

Edited on Mon Dec-11-06 06:08 PM by Rude Horner

are there any other folks who feel like in this age of "buy it on DVD, or tune into any one of 100 tv stations and watch it anytime you want", there's just something missing? I mean, when I was a kid and one of these Christmas specials came on tv, it was an EVENT! Back in those days, you were lucky to have a dozen stations. Maybe fewer. VCR's didn't even exist yet. And usually, they showed these specials once a year and that was it. If you missed it, you had to wait till next year.

Maybe it's just me. Some of the magic of the shows disappear when you can watch them anytime.
