Title: Worst holiday special you've EVER seen! Post by: Olivia Bauer on January 12, 2010, 09:16:23 PM The Star Wars Holiday Special for me...
You guys? Title: Re: Worst holiday special you've EVER seen! Post by: indianasmith on January 12, 2010, 11:25:51 PM You nailed it. There is no worse.
Title: Re: Worst holiday special you've EVER seen! Post by: SPazzo on January 13, 2010, 12:02:38 AM Hmm, besides the Star Wars holiday special, I have to say the remake of Miracle on 34th Street. I don't know if this qualifies as a special, but it's shown here every year. It just pales in comparison to the original Miracle on 34th Street. I just can't really stand it. :lookingup:

Then there was the film remake from 1994 with Richard Attenborough as Kris Kringle. Then there was the TV remake from 1973 with Sebastian Cabot as Kris Kringle, which I thought did not compare to the original. And then, much to my surprise, there was a TV remake in 1959 with Ed Wynn as Kris Kringle. It looks like we should be in for another remake sometime during this decade or the next.

Like I said, after you've watched it three or four times, it kinda sucks. But then again I think that counts for all Christmas Specials. (So far hasn't ruined Christmas Vacation for me though.)

There are other bad ones, but none so epically bad that you spend the whole time wondering "What the hell they were thinking when they made this?" Besides being the single greatest embarrassment of the Star Wars franchise (and that's saying something), it also epitomizes prime-time network variety specials of the 1970s.

I would say Frosty Returns. It like they raped frosty. Title: Re: Worst holiday special you've EVER seen! Post by: SPazzo on January 17, 2010, 10:37:05 PM I would say Frosty Returns.
