Merry Christmas

I made a brief mention of dysfunctional families back on Thanksgiving, and commented that the Plantagenets of The Lion in Winter were far more dysfunctional than the Vanderhofs of You Can't Take it With You. As luck would have it, The Lion In Winter is this week's TCM Essential, airing at 8:00 PM ET.

On Thanksgiving, I also mentioned the short The Chicken of Tomorrow. I should have known (and posted then) that it's available on Youtube.
