Wenty’s Top 10 Christmas Specials (Not The Ones Everybody Watches…the Rare Ones!)

I have an absurd collection of Christmas special DVDs. “Alvin and the Chipmunks Christmas”? Absolutely. “A Shari Lewis and Lamb Chop Christmas”? Hell yes! But I do have my favorites. This list will not include “Charlie Brown”, “Rudolph”, “Grinch” or any of the other beloved perennials that any God-fearing American watches without fail every year. … Continue reading Wenty’s Top 10 Christmas Specials (Not The Ones Everybody Watches…the Rare Ones!)

(Walt) Disney+: First Day Thoughts

Disney Plus! A streaming service which has scores of animated classics, every episode of the Simpsons, most Muppet movies and a bunch of other stuff. I signed up for this weeks ago, knowing it would be appealing. My greatest hopes for Disney+ were that they would throw a bone to old-school fans like me, and … Continue reading (Walt) Disney+: First Day Thoughts

“The Doris Day Show”s

I was so sorry today to hear of the passing of Doris Day. Her films were silly and fun, especially the ones for Warner Bros. in the late 40s. “Romance On The High Seas”, “My Dream Is Yours.” Good stuff! She sang and danced with Bugs Bunny even. Changing subjects: I have an unhealthy obsession … Continue reading “The Doris Day Show”s

I Am Obsessed With “Make Room For Daddy”

Everyone else is binging series on Amazon Prime, Netflix, Hulu, etc etc. I’m binging “Make Room For Daddy”. (Later retitled “The Danny Thomas Show.”) Except it’s not really binge-viewing, because the channel I get it on only airs two episodes a week, every Monday morning at 3:00am. (I DVR it and watch it when I … Continue reading I Am Obsessed With “Make Room For Daddy”
