Rise and Shine --- That red-nosed reindeer
Good Morning and welcome to a good day to fly a kite!
It used to be an event when those holiday shows came on television.
As it got closer to the end of the year, you could count on singing along with the Grinch or getting sad when Yukon Cornelius fell over the cliff. Even though those shows are now available on DVD, you can pop them in any time and laugh at the Miser brothers.
Even with the technology, though, there is something special when they pop up on the small screen.
So, even though Wednesday's are all about running around, at 8 last night it was time to sit down with Rudolph, the dentist and a Bumble. Thankfully, there were some fresh-baked cookies to enhance the show.
Even after all these years, the quality of these shows still hold up. The stop-motion animation is so unlike everything else that it's almost like there really are talking reindeer.
The key to quality, though, is how it holds the interest of its target audience.
If three children sit quietly during the show, it's pretty good. If they start throwing things, jumping around or bothering each other, well, it stinks.
There are a million cartoons out there now thanks to the ever-expanding television universe. Somehow, though, gathering for an hour with Frosty and Friends is still pretty cool.
