When Christmas Day is here, the most wonderful day of the year, these specials WON'T be eagerly devoured by yet another generation. If a Christmas special is never happy unless it is loved by a child, then these poor sick puppies must be in the bathroom cutting themselves.

99.9 percent of all new holiday specials fail--it's a cold fact. The reality is that in order to have staying power, a special has to hit exactly the right note of sentimentality and charm. No one can accomplish that by setting out to--it only happens through luck. Consequently, many of today's producers don't even try, figuring their work will be off the air in a couple years anyway and deciding they might as well write whatever they feel like writing. Many of the results from that train of thought (a train with square wheels) are littered throughout this page.
