I don't know if they were on Comcast earlier this week or not, but yah, I'm bothered that the only classic you can find today is A Christmas Story....wierd.

Oh, and Merry Christmas!

Oh yes, I remember. I will be 41 tomorrow.

Thing is, I tried searching 'On Demand'....and nothing. No classics that I can find. Maybe I am missing them somewhere? The only 'Christmas Movies' section are a few kids movies. That's it. I can't watch a classic today (other than A Christmas Story) unless I go out and buy one.

I find it wierd and kinda sad. I wanted to share that classic (It's A Wonderful Life) with my kids...not watch Judge Judy or Storage Wars. Just have Christmas music on instead.

I will buy it later this week and watch it with them later, but it makes me wonder why the media has decided to completely ignore Christmas this year. I sign of the times??

I miss Charlie Brown Christmas and Twilight Zone Marathons. The old black and white ones.

Odd that you should bring this up, westcoast... I was just thinking the exact same thing!

Where are all the Christmas specials???

I'm sure it's nothing nefarious, but I'm glad I'm not the only one who made a note of that!

I'm in Pierce County, near Tacoma. I also have Comcast. Last night, NBC played "It's a Wonderful Life" at 8 p.m. I watched it even though I was annoyed with the commercials. (Decided I have to buy it).

I will agree that this year was very slim with holiday specials. I don't think I saw any on demand, granted I don't look that much since I have Netflix, and I despise Comcast (few more months and I'm switching).

The main programming I saw this year on cable was "Miracle on 34th Street."
There was at least two days worth of that movie showing on the guide, throughout December.
AMC had a marathon a few days ago. I can't stand that movie, so I didn't watch it, but every time I brought up the guide, there it was.

My family also watched "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" a few days ago on Cartoon Network.

But overall, the choices haven't been great this year. Last year throughout fall and into December the Canada Channel (CBC Vancouver, Channel 99), played Sunday night movies, which were mostly Disney or holiday themed. It was nice, because I got to watch a lot of the old movies as an adult and decide if I want to own them to watch again. This year, I didn't see any.

Last year ABC had a lot of specials leading up to Christmas, but this year I didn't see any. There might be some today, but our family hasn't watched cable all day.

We only have a basic type cable, so there might have been more options on networks we don't get (Like Family Channel).

Perhaps this year the main broadcast networks didn't feel festive, or comcast didn't want to add it to demand for free.

Bad Santa was on Comedy Central at least.

They're readying us to change over to all the programs for Muslims like:
Women are the devil
suppress and oppress your females
and the grand finale
death and dismemberment to all that don't bow to Allah

I just watched It's A Wonderful Life on Youtube, and many of the movies you listed can be found there. And with less commercials.

But I know what you mean, and it seems like there are less Christmas specials on the last couple of years. Looking at your list, I just realized that I need to watch a Charlie Brown Christmas, so back to Youtube, which is my new version of On Demand.

And Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday Early too!
