This being Thursday, it's time for another edition of Thursday Movie Picks, the blogathon run by Wandering Through the Shelves. It's the last week of the month, which as always means another TV-themed edition of the blogathon. And since it's December, that means Christmas. Or, in this case "Holidays". I suppose I could have used other holidays, but that just didn't seem right. In any case, it wasn't that difficult to come up with three Christmas specials:
The Little Rascals Christmas Special (1979). In the Depression, Spanky's mom gets him a train set to keep from disappointing him, but has to give up getting a coat for herself to do it. Mom gets sick and various disasters befall the Rascals before everything turns out right in the end.
A Very Brady Christmas (1989). Everybody's favorite blended family from the early 1970s returns to celebrate Christmas with Mom (Florence Henderson) and Dad (Robert Reed). The kids are all grown up, but their lives aren't going as well as they might have liked, and they don't want to disappoint their parents. Of course, this bring the groovy Bradys, everybody will have a happy ending.
John Denver and the Muppets: A Christmas Together (1979). A variety-type Christmas show with a lot of music, featuring, well, John Denver, and the various Muppets.

I never saw the animated Little Rascals but always watched the original from the 30s although I like Santa in this. I watched the Brady Christmas special when it was on and the other Brady shows. It’s sappy but always fun to watch. I love d the John Denver special with the muppets..it was so good to see and I will have to watch it here again when I get a chance.
