CHRISTMAS SPECIALS PLEASE!

(If this post sounds vaguely familiar it is. This year hasn't improved much from last year. If anything it has gotten worse. So yes familiar post is familiar)

Dear network television executives,

In case you haven't noticed it is Christmas time. I think you have noticed though since you have been advertising your Christmas specials/25 days of Christmas/ects. Since you are advertising that it is Christmas time perhaps you could play some Christmas specials?

I have over 300 channels. I would like to see How the Grinch Stole Christmas on one of you please.

While every variation of A Christmas Carol is nice I want to see some Whos please.


The following are not Christmas movies. Please stop playing them around Christmas time. There are 11 other months out of the year you can play these movies. Stop stealing Christmas time slots for these non-Christmasy movies.




ANY HARRY POTTER MOVIE! Yes ABC Family I am looking at you. Every single year you play the Harry Potter movies because of SNOW. The movies are about an entire school year right? So...do you play these movies around Valentine's Day and Easter and 4th of July? NO?! OKAY THEN! Stop with the Christmas then!

Madagascar- X_X There isn't even any SNOW in this movie. Why are you playing this once a week?!

The Wizard of Oz-..........WHAT?!

Mary Poppins- Again coats do not equal Christmas.

Pirates of the Caribbean- I love me some Orlando Bloom. Truly I do. But there is a time and place for his half naked body and that time is not December.

Shrek- While I find the Christmas special cute I don't want to see any of the movies this time of year on TV. Do not want.

I would say what you are doing wrong CBS...but are you even playing any Christmas specials?!

Happy Feet- Okay there ARE talking penguin and there is snow...but it is not a Christmas movie. It is a movie about penguins. I like penguins but if it's supposed to be a Christmas special in needs to mention CHRISTMAS!

So in conclusion I would like the major networks to show actual Christmas movies if they are advertising they are playing Christmas specials. Showing popular movies does not count as a Christmas special. There needs to be snowmen, Santa, SOMETHING that makes the movie a Christmas special. Please look into making these changes next year. It would please me to no end.

Love

Tenchi
