Viewing Thoughts: Once again, just tv shows right now.
Robot Chicken: Not much to say. Funny stuff and has anyone ever noiced in Christmas specials, Santa is incredibly prone to being helpless. Seriously, every christmas, The pole is under attack. Maybe Santa should take a few elves off making freaking toys and have them work on guard duty. Santa has magic powers so maybe also do some simple spells to do a magic barrier.
Stoker and Hootch: Dear god, that was stupid. The Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future tried to kill Santa to rig lottery tickets. Yeah, I'm done with that crap.
Little House on the Prairie: Maybe the episode is a little long without commercials but everything was a little sped up. I was half expecting Benny Hill to chase around Laura and Mary, only Mary is blind at this point so Benny might catch a woman for once when Mary runs into a wall. Overall, this is a rather off-color episode. The one African American character in all of Walnut Grove, Hester, is expected to make coffee and then has to sing a spiritual for their entertainment. We then get treated to the Most Racially Incorrect Christmas ever. Hester's family speak like caricatures and we get incredibly unconvincing depictions of slave life. Basically, everyone is an equal except for Hester's family who live is slightly worse housing. Things get worse when the Ingals mom, Caroline, remembers a Christmas where she gets mad at her mom for getting married to some guy five minute after her dad dies. Then she's happy when New dad regifts a watch. Then it turns creepy and you can figure out why the mom seemed to be the most boring one. Then we get proof people we smaller back then when what seems like it could be only a few ffet of snow covers the entire Ingalls house.It's worth noting that Mary, the blind daughter, never reappears after this episode. Presumably, she realized that no one in her family could act and she was better off never listening to them anymore. Would say that she never saw them again but, well...
Late Christmas Ideas: A season set of Little House on the Prairie dvds so we can break them. Well, we'll also watch the episode where Mary's school for the blind burns down and some chick uses the baby as a battering ram to break a window. But the rest of the dvds break.
Non-Viewing Thoughts: So, what's up with the fact that parents lie about Santa Claus to their kids. I mean, what, do we really need to tell them that some flying fat guy will give them presents if they're good and coal if they're bad. For that matter, does any parent ever give their kid coal? I'd love to see if they do. Damn, it's a good thing I'm probably never having kids since if I did, I might give them coal or some other thing. Yeah, Will definitely better not have kids.
