I LOVE the Christmas Special. It's strange how a compilation of raunchy comedy bits is not only one of my must-do holiday traditions, it's what finally gets me in the spirit.

Why don't they end the Christmas show on the skating rink anymore? I always love seeing that. 😮‍💨

It's the same reason they air The Wizard Of Oz.

Every year I look forward to the Sunday before Christmas, when ABC airs it. (12/15 this year). It's amazing how watching a movie that has nothing to do with Christmas has become my favorite holiday tradition.

The resignation on his face is agonizing. It was years before the TV Tropes website was ever created, but even then I remembered thinking how much I hated the cliché that the hero of course had to lose either his best friend or his woman in the course of the movie.

I doubt there would have 3any time for him to run regardless

So did I! 😄

I remember being so thrilled at the fact that we were going to have a new episode on Thanksgiving night that my mother and I rushed through cleaning up after dinner so that we could be comfortably settled in by the time it started.

Happy 25th birthday, Tess & Kate!

A new "Phantom Of The Opera" tour is coming: https://deadline.com/2024/11/phantom-of-the-opera-north-american-tour-1236164327/

I just saw it. It's excellent. I've been to a million theatrical performances and I honestly had no idea of the chaos that goes on backstage before and during a show, even while participating in quite a few myself (assuming my childhood dance recitals count). Terrific casting job at finding people who looked exactly like the actors.

This article showing some of the notes exchanged between John Wells and Michael Crichton during the show's early days; https://deadline.com/2024/09/er-tv-series-michael-crichton-memos-1236094390/

https://tvline.com/news/er-anniversary-george-clooney-julianna-margulies-doug-carol-1235331966/ I watched sporadically in Season 1 (I was devastated about Clooney's character on "Sisters" being killed off and couldn't bear to see him in anything else). Then I caught the promos for "Hell & High Water", decided to watch and was hooked ever since.

You know, you're right. I really hadn't thought about that. No wonder the remainder of that scene in "Sith" falls a little flat--Hayden can't quite pull it off as well as Prowse could.

That moment at the end of "Revenge Of The Sith" where you hear him as Darth Vader for the first time in 22 years is bone-chillingly spectacular. It's amazing how much a voice can make a character--there's clips on YouTube with him being voiced by the original actor and him being voiced by JEJ and the difference is stunning.
