I grew up on these christmas classics, I still love the today. I watched them with my kids and now I can watch all of them with my grandkids since many of the classics on this dvd are now longer shown on tv. September 29, 2008

Wow

This has got to be on your list right next to christmas lights! If you don't have cable there is a great chance you'll miss some of these shows in this set, as some of them only air on cable.

You save yourself alot of money by buying this set, they do sell the movies individually but you end up paying alot more to collect all these treasures. In edition is the music cd.

I bring this set out just after Holloween. My kids enjoy having a mini Christmas film festival (although our collection has grown so large it takes a while to get through all of them.


And of course buying the Christmas Telvision favorites (blue package) in edition is so worth it too! September 25, 2008

Magoo and Frosty and Rudy? I'd replace it with Rudolph's sequals and the Summer w/o Christmas

Great collection yet Magoo and Frosty don't mix to me, these R&B classics should be together with Shiny New Year and the Summer without Christmas(if that is the title of that fourth of july special) Magoo should be on his own collection as with "Cricket on the Hearth." The others are just right! Santa is Comin to Town is the "Life and Adventures" tale based(loosely) on the 1902 novella yet not so Pagenesque. Micky Roony as always does a great santa. Burl Ives, the narrator should have been given duel roles though as his voice is much better. The comical dentist elf, beleve it or not, reprised his role in the Drew Barrymore version of Rudolph in 2001 or some such year. July 21, 2008

Classic Christmas TV specials come alive!

There's something magical about the Original Christmas TV Classics. Even though present day animation far outshines anything presented here in this delightful collection, there is something missing from modern effects in animation that can't be attainable. Call it a certain wholesomeness, call it innocence or call it pure genius on part of their creators, but the Original Christmas Classics DVD set is a must for anyone enchanted with the Christmas stories of decades past. "Cricket on the Hearth" is a sweet, albeit dated short about a not-as-famous Christmas story from the author of the infamous Christmas Carol that is quite rare, and just as enchanting. Don't miss out on memories! April 13, 2008
