Frosty Returns--Has nothing to do with the original Frosty or Christmas for that matter.

Grandma Got Runover by a Reindeer--A special that tried to capitalize of the song and failed.

Those two!!!! That Grandma one is just horrible...WTF were those people thinking when they made this???? What the hell were they smoking? LOL

Also, any stupid variety special that had actors/actresses who thought they could sing, but can't! This was mostly in the 70's that I am referring to.

That reminds me, the cheesy variety "Holiday" special that Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey did. LOL

I thought David Duke's special, "A Special KKK Christmas" was in poor taste.

Same for O.J. Simpson's, "A Bloody Good Christmas".

See, that's what I mean, those cheesy 70's variety specials were so damn corny...

I remember seeing so many specials with people who had no business singing. It was all abt ratings and who was popular at the time.

The Santa isn't the most attractive, but I really like this special. I love the songs in it. I wish the soundtrack could be released.

Jo_Luvs_Ketchup · 12-13-2006, 05:55 PM

Wow now see, I like Frosty Returns lol. I think it would've been better to have the original frosty, but since he died...

But it's not so terrible that I can't sit through it. I watch it every year.

Jessica Simpson has a real talent in crapping up holiday songs.
