1) Who’s the fucking wizard at ABC who, at the Christmas movie
scheduling meeting, came up with kicking things off by showing "A
Charlie Brown Christmas" on November 28? What the fuck? THE number one
Christmas show to watch, Xmas nostalgia rivaled only by "It’s a
Wonderful Life", and you know what…why don’t we get this thing outta the
way before December even hits so we can make room for new classics like
"Christmas at the Mall 3" and "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer (The
Quickening)"? Who signed off on this – I looked and saw that tv has
over 75 Xmas movies to fucking show in the next month; how the FUCK
could the Charlie Brown one not be the goddam climax to all this?!?!?!?!
Why is this not shown on Xmas Eve? Should be the "Christmas Story"
marathon up til 7:30, then Charlie Brown followed by "It’s a Wonderful
Life", bam! Christmas!!! Who even watches these other steaming piles
they throw out every year? I’m baffled. November 28??!!?! Are you
kidding me? I can live with them kicking off the Xmas season early, but
why not save the best for last instead of vice versa? This is like
fucking Jessica Alba before you’re even horny or hard so that you can
hurry up and get to jerking off to the Sears catalog. - XMASTIME
Tonight's the 50th anniversary of the first time
A Charlie Brown Christmas aired:
Mendelson said each animator was given a character and told to draw it doing a famous or distinctive dance step.
"In that one scene you're seeing six iconic dances," Mendelson said.
As for the music, Mendelson went with a unique choice, eschewing the
typical light cartoony music of the time and suggesting they bring in
jazz musician Vince Guaraldi.
"Without that music, that show may have never had the notoriety that
it has," Mendelson said. "We thought the music was as important as
the story, and the acting and everything else."
And so of course they fucking aired it a week ago instead of tonight. What. the. fuck?!!?!?
