Merry Christmas!. The 80s were special when it came to Christmas. The joy and magic that were in the commercials, the movies, the specials, and the episodes of TV shows. Like most things back then, it's not the same anymore.

*Under Construction*

Melis

Cool, thanks for the thread. I can't wait to see it.

Barrybgb

No Problem.

I am done for tonight. I have more to add, as well as a small TV episode section, but time has run out for me today. Lol. Will be finished tomorrow!!.

Barrybgb

Done. Added a new special and a TV section!.

Melis

Love it! I love Family Ties. Christmas episodes are sweet.

Barrybgb

Lol. Thanks. They sure don't make stuff like this anymore. I love the holiday episodes too. I could probably add more.

Barrybgb

I just love this time of year. I wish they would show more of these shows. I know WGN America will be showing Yogi's First Christmas, which I haven't seen since I was little.

Melis

Cool. We need our own 80s network. lol

Barrybgb

Yep. I've mentioned that a lot. I made a thread about it. Lol. If they have channels for game shows and golf, why not a channel for stuff from the 80s?.

I like the specials on HGTV and Travel Channel showing people's decorations too.

Barrybgb

Anyone gonna check out the "Prep And Landing" Christmas special tonight?

Disneypreview

LOL at the Andy Williams one, it's the first one I thought of when I saw the thread title. I remember Jay Leno as a guest on Letterman back before his Tonight Show days, thumbing through a TV Guide and reading all of the Christmas specials: "The Flintstone Christmas...gee, wonder if that's a repeat???"

Barrybgb

I'm glad I stumbled across the Andy Williams one. My memory was a little fuzzy, but I knew I remember seeing him in a Christmas special that wasn't one of his legendary ones from the 60s and 70s. So, that was a treat when I finally found it!.

Barrybgb

Getting closer to Christmas. It's gone by so fast!.

Anybody have big plans or movies or anything they have to watch and haven't yet?.

Melis

I'll be watching Christmas Vacation. I haven't gotten to that one yet.
