Christmas TV Classics, Vol. 2 (2005)

Wow! I'd definitely forgotten about these!

I remembered most of the shows in the first volume, but this second volume contained many that I had completely forgotten about. I was delighted to be reminded about these gems. I was very glad to have the shows I grew up with available to show my kids. This was quite a pleasant to have an alternative to reality shows during the Christmas season. January 28, 2008

It was never like this ever again....

I bought this for my parents for nostalgia's sake and I must say this was charming and enjoyable -- the innocence of the era mirrors what should be the innocence of Christmas. Episodes:
1. LIBERACE Christmas show. A very YOUNG Liberace tickles the ivories to Christmas classics. Sweet.
2. OZZIE AND HARRIET - Christmas Tree Lot.
3. LOVE THAT BOB Grandpa's Christmas Visit. Bob Cummings show - never had heard of it. It's a little slow but Christmas is the time when we are allowed to watch television devoid of modern irony.
4. MEET CORLISS ARCHER
Christmas. Another obscure family sitcom that was fun to watch.
5. WHERE'S RAYMOND Christmas Spirit. Roy Bolger's show dances his way through niece's imagined visit to a toy store. Sincere and happy.
6. DATE WITH THE ANGELS Christmas Show. Another obscure show - funny, sweet, warmhearted.

In short, watch these to transport yourself to a time devoid of irony-cladden, skeptical, materialistic families you see today. Yes it's hokey and sentimental but it's fun. November 29, 2006
