From Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer to yuletide episodes of Frasier, Christmas TV Memories: Nostalgic Holiday Favorites of the Small Screen details and explores the history of television’s most iconic productions.
For most of us, fond memories of the Christmas season are inseparable from TV’s holiday presentations. The world loves everything from iconic cartoons like How the Grinch Stole Christmas and A Charlie Brown Christmas to the ground-breaking Julia sitcom segment, “I’m Dreaming of a Black Christmas,” Christmas in Rockefeller Center, and the 1992 TV-remake of Christmas in Connecticut directed by Arnold Schwarzenegger. Christmas TV Memories: Nostalgic Holiday Favorites of the Small Screen embraces it all, offering a tinsel-decked traipse down memory lane and chronicling animated classics, variety shows, made-for-TV features, and holiday-specific episodes of series like The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, and The Mary Tyler Moore Show. With a Foreword by best-selling Free to Be You and Me author and That Girl star Marlo Thomas, along with commentary from other celebrities, historical quotes, and insights from entertainment journalists and archivists, Christmas TV Memories serves as the go-to companion to the small screen’s most cherished holiday programs.
“…no matter when you’re reading this marvelous collection?—?whether it’s while those first December snows are falling, or if you’re hanging at the beach on Fourth of July weekend?—?dangle some mistletoe above this beautiful book. It is worthy of your biggest Christmas kiss!” -- Marlo Thomas
Pilato takes the reader down a very nostalgic memory lane lined with candy canes, wreaths and lights, with sweet songs filling the air. He is very thorough in his discussions, providing all the details of these productions in one handy reference and including some great insights from folks who were involved in some of the special moments. For folks like me that are huge television fans, this book will warm their hearts. * Martin's View *
