For this holiday season
Warner has put together a rather random assortment of
some of the most notable and not so notable Christmas
specials from some of the more interesting television
shows, and it will likely have the consumer picking and
choosing which specials they want to see. How many
"Veronica's Closet" fans are reading this? Raise your
hands...! Anyone...? Anyone...? How about "Suddenly
Susan"?! Anyone...? Let's move on with our lives. In
either case this is a rather wickedly packaged set with
a nice assortment for people interested in specials from
"Perfect Strangers" or "Dr. Kildare," and will likely be
background noise when episodes of "Chips" or "Veronica's
Closet" comes up. Like you will be, I mainly flipped
through the specials I wanted to see and jumped right to
it. There are ten special Christmas episodes for the
entire audience. "Welcome Back Kotter" brings "A
Sweathog Christmas" a twenty five minute clip show of
the some of the funniest moments from the season. And
that's about it. Gabe and his wife are
celebrating Christmas, and the Sweathogs show up!
Hilarity ensues. Vinnie thinks back to his life with the
Sweathogs and we see a bunch of random clips from the
characters interacting that makes for a fairly
interesting time filler that will inspire a faint smile
or two. In all honesty I like the show I just wish it
was an episode and not a clip show. The "Perfect
Strangers" holiday episode (yes, I used to watch this
religiously, so humor me) entitled "The Gift of the Mypiot" concerns Larry and Balki celebrating Christmas
at their bank, and Balki's accidental invitation of
their crusty boss to their first annual Christmas party. |
