The Christmas TV Companion: A Review

Pop culture book lists like TV a Go Go: Rock on TV from American Bandstand to American Idol were infuriating in the pre-YouTube age. Learning about obscurities that were basically unattainable made for frustrating reads. Now that the internet is the internet, we can peruse the archaic artifacts known as books and easily hunt down the recommended works. It's generally worth it.

Recommended Highlights mentioned in The Christmas TV Companion include
Santa Claus (1959)
The Dangerous Christmas of Red Riding Hood featuring Eric Burdon (1965) - I'm posting this whole special in a couple days...
Download The Soundtrack from Dangerous Red Riding Hood!
A Solid Gold Christmas (1982)
The Judy Garland Show - Christmas Episode (1963)

The General Electric Theater with special guest stars Jack Benny, Jesse White, Joi Lansing and Arthur Q. Bryan (1956)
A bevy of familiar character actors pop up in this one (including the voice of Elmer Fudd) in this very amusing episode directed by Frank Tashlin. Too bad about the sickening laugh track.
