Two movies that NBC produced for Christmas, "A Christmas Carol" and "The Year Without A Santa Claus," have only aired once and twice in the years that they were produced. They've never aired since. After all, they were very bad productions, with Kelsey Grammer as Scrooge. And John Goodman as Santa Claus in "Year Without A Santa" was stupid. And of course, that storyline between the Mayor and his son turned me off. I wish to God that the kid finally stood up to his Father and said "You're Not Just The Mayor-YOU'RE MY DAD!"

NBC CHRISTMAS MOVIES THAT HAVEN'T BECOME TRADITION!
- Thread starter blackgold
- Start date
Speaking of movies that never became a tradition, one that I really liked was Marlo Thomas in "It Happened One Christmas"
Yes it's a remake of "It's a Wonderful Life," and I think that movie is OK, I'm not a huge fan of it. And I realize I'm probably only one of a handful that even liked her version. But I thought it was OK and would love to see it again.

In the 70's they tried to remake Miracle on 34th. Street with Sebastian Cabot as Kris Kringle
and David Hartman as the lawyer. It was pretty bad.

No it wasn't. I saw it. Maybe not up to the standards of the original, but hardly bad.FreddyE1977 said:
I'd like to see the Kelsey Grammer movie because in the days before DTV, I didn't bother to spend money for cable, and my signal wasn't very good that night. I could hear and thought it was pretty good, though nowhere near Alistair Sim's excellent version.
I probably only saw It Happened One Christmas or the 70's Miracle on 34th Street once on either of them, but seing them made me check out the originals when I got the chance, both of which I loved.
