CHRISTMAS POORLY DONE - SCREW YOU TBS NETWORK


What another miserable offering from our friends at TBS Network. For the 6th year in a row they are running back to back screenings of, "The Christmas Story". You know the film that is entertaining only in five minute intervals?

I'm sure you've seen it. In case you've lived in a space station for the past 6 years here's the skinny.

Tagline: A Tribute to the Original, Traditional, One-Hundred-Percent, Red-Blooded, Two-Fisted, All-American Christmas...

Plot Outline
Ralphie has to convince his parents, teachers, and Santa that a Red Ryder BB gun really is the perfect gift for the 1940's.

Plot Synopsis: Ralphie, a young boy growing up in the '40's, dreams of owning a Red Rider BB gun. He sets out to convince the world this is the perfect gift. But along the way, he runs into opposition from his parents, his teacher, and even good 'ol Santa Claus himself.

I don't know what they pay the programming director at TBS Network or if they pay him at all. Maybe they pay him off with Pot or LSD. This is crap holiday entertainment. I can see running it once TOPS. But you don't run it back to back for 24 hours year after year. This format can only be entertaining if you ate lead paint chips as a kid and have alzheimers disease. This is broadcasting in its lowest form.

What a sham. What a cowardly network.

Merry Christmas
