It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! And nothing says Christmas like classic TV holiday specials! Over the next two weeks, we'll be toasting and roasting two of the most famous from the duo of Rankin and Bass. Which of them belongs on the Nice List and which one deserves a shiny lump of coal in its stocking. This is Legends of Christmas! Airing fifty years ago this month, based on the book by Phyllis McGinley, this Rankin and Bass special deals with every child's worst nightmare: Christmas has been canceled! After centuries of delivering presents to every child on Earth, Santa Claus is suffering from exhaustion and decides to take the year off. That means it's up to Mrs. Claus to figure out a way to save Christmas, with the help of some elves. We also meet the Miser Brothers, Heat Miser and Snow Miser, who cause trouble for Mrs. Claus as she seeks to wake Santa from his stupor. Featuring the voices of Mickey Rooney, Dick Shawn and George S. Irving, the special received a live-action remake in 2006 and an animated sequel, A Miser Brothers' Christmas, in 2008. But is The Year Without a Santa Claus better left forgotten, or will it make our list (and check it twice) of holiday classics?   Include a voicemail for our Year-End Special here: https://forms.gle/EZyMNM8mpiu5sRPDA    For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

What's up, dudes? I've got Anthony Caruso from ‘Tis the Podcast and Jeff Loftin from Lost Christmas with me to talk the greatness that is “The Year Without a Santa Claus” from Rankin Bass! Released in ‘74, it aired all throughout the ‘80s!When Santa Claus wakes up with a mysterious magical illness that affects immortal beings, he decides to summon the elf doctor. This quack immediately tells Santa that kids don't care about him, causing him to skip Christmas. Mrs. Claus sends elves Jingle and Jangle to Southtown, USA to gauge the local children's belief in Santa. Unfortunately for them, a dog catcher nabs the reindeer Vixen who accompanied them. They approach the mayor to release Vixen, but he will only acquiesce if they can make it snow. Thus they take Mrs Claus with them to see the Miser Brothers who rule over the heat and cold.Meanwhile, Santa goes to rescue Vixen and discovers kids still believe in him. He returns to the North Pole while Mrs. C and the elves visit Heat Miser and Snow Miser. When they refuse to cooperate, the trio ask another Nature to intervene. The snow in Southtown prompts the mayor to declare a holiday for Santa, and the children of the world write to him and send him presents. Moved by their love and generosity, Santa makes his Christmas Eve ride.Reindeer with socks covering her ears? Yep. Children from the It's a Small World ride? For sure. Personifications of summer and winter? Only if they're petty sibling rivals! So put on your Santa suit, hop on your reindeer, and fly to negotiate with minor deities with this episode all about “The Year Without a Santa Claus!”‘Tis the PodcastFB: @tisthepodcastTwitter: @tisthepodIG: @tisthepodcast Lost Christmas PodcastFB: @LostChristmasPodcastTwitter: @LostChristmasP1IG: @lostchristmaspodcast Give us a buzz!

Santa is run down and not taking care of himself, and this year it catches up with him! Following doctor elf orders, Santa decides to take the year off. Mrs. Claus won't have any of that nonsense, and her meddling gets two forgettable elves and Vixen (the reindeer!) into a world of trouble. We also get introduced to the Miser Brothers, Heat and Snow! Come join us as we endure The Year Without a Santa Claus (1974)!

Picture a Christmas where jingle bells don't ring and Santa's sleigh remains parked in the North Pole. That's the curious premise of the 1974 classic, "The Year Without a Santa Claus," which my brother Tyler and I explore in our latest podcast episode. Join us as we stroll down memory lane, revisiting the whimsical world of Rankin/Bass animations where Mrs. Claus takes center stage and the Miser Brothers' sibling rivalry heats up the holidays. We'll share how voice actors from yesteryears lent their unique flair to these enduring characters, and you'll discover the surprising ways these festive figures have mirrored their real-life counterparts.As the sleigh bells continue to echo, we unwrap the tale of Iggy's quest and the heart-tugging tune "I Believe in Santa Claus" that reminds us of the magic nested in belief. We also chuckle over the less-than-sanitary barbershop antics and marvel at how a cameo by Charlie Chaplin sneaks into this holiday tapestry. The Miser Brothers steal the show with their iconic songs, adding a dash of mischief to the Christmas cheer. And if you ever wondered how Batman ties into all this, we've got a story that'll sprinkle a little extra joy into your listening experience.Our festive journey culminates with musings on how a single heartfelt letter can rekindle the Christmas spirit across the globe. We chat about how the Rankin/Bass specials have shaped our own holiday traditions and speculate on the mysteries of Santa's many on-screen personas. So, pour yourself a mug of hot cocoa and cozy up for a holiday podcast episode that's more stuffed with joy and nostalgia than a Christmas stocking. Tyler and I can't wait to share our family's holiday favorites and the timeless impact of "The Year Without a Santa Claus" on us all.Own the Rankin/Bass classics now!

Christmas 2023 at the IMMP wraps up with one of the weirdest of all Rankin/Bass Christmas specials: THE YEAR WITHOUT A SANTA CLAUS. Listen for tales of elemental magic with the Miser Brothers, the terrible power of Mother Nature, and speculation about the abyssal Lovecraftian horrors that lurk in Santa Claus' dreams.

Bob and Nick open the show debating about Kenny Payne's win by one comment.  This elicits a TON from the text line.  Bob talks about some stats that to him matter way more than Kenny's comment.  Nick introduces Bob to the Miser Brothers.    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of 25 Days of Christmas, Patricia and Carlene discuss about the 2008 animated TV special A Miser Brothers Christmas, a spin-off sequel to the 1974 Rankin/Bass Christmas special The Year Without a Santa Claus. The Miser Brothers are tasked to help Santa make toys and deliver them after being falsely accused of knocking down Santa's sleigh and crashing resulting in him throwing off his back. In reality, their brother North Wind wants to get rid of Santa so that he can rule the North Pole and become the new Santa Claus. What did Patricia and Carlene think of this film?

In 1974, The Year Without a Santa Claus, expanded the Christmas character canon by giving us more Mrs. Claus and introducing the Miser Brothers. On this episode of the show, we take a look at this holiday classic.

A Special Holiday Spectacular! Two revisits in one! And, Christina sings! And she sings the praises of The Miser Brothers. Yes, Mother Nature's rascally sons were a highlight in A Year Without a Santa Claus, a 70's TV special in which a grumpy Santa wants to take a year off. Now, over 40 years later, is Santa's wish for a break simply self-care ...or selfish? Is Mrs. Santa Claus a loving wife, or a lying merry mastermind? But wait – there's more! The Old Roommates also take another look at “Rudolph's Shiny New Year” the holiday special that decided to send Rudolph on a quest to find the Baby New Year. But, through a middle-aged lens, does the complex plot hold up? Does Baby New Year have good reasons to run? And, why can't Rudolph just fly everywhere he needs to be? The Old Roommates go walking in a winter wonderland and ponder the magic of these Christmas classics. Listen to this.Become a Patron of Old Roommates at patreon.com/oldroommates!

(Christmas Specials part 2 of 3)   Everyone is familiar with the perennial favorite The Year Without a Santa Claus, but have you heard of its sequel?  A Miser Brother's Christmas focuses largely on Heat Miser and Snow Miser, the breakout hits of the first holiday special.  And yes…they sing the song.

Our holiday coverage continues with A Mister Brothers' Christmas, the 2008 follow-up to the 1974 gem The Year Without a Santa Claus. Featuring returning voices Mickey Rooney and George S. Irving as Santa Claus and Heat Miser, the film aims to recapture the magic of the Rankin/Bass stop-motion classics. Unfortunately, the film never quite comes together as anything more than a nostalgia production with some truly horrendous music. Ian does her best to unpack what went wrong and why she's still happy that it exists.

We talked about this back on our second episode... It's a discussion of the live action Year Without a Santa Claus and A Miser Brothers Christmas. Ever want to see Harvey Fierstein as the Heat Miser and Michael McKean as Snow Miser? Here's your chance.

Merry Christmas, everyone! Welcome back to the BIOLOGY CLASS Podcast! Today, the gang (minus Sandy) are joined by special guest, Mikey "Mango Lamar"! We discuss A Miser Brothers' Christmas, Star Wars (not really), Mikey's time in Vietnam, Chuck E. Cheese's, Mikey's Twitch streaming, DokiDoki Pokemon Nuzlocke, rap & Mikey's music, GobyPizza, and our old music class experiences.

If you weren't aware of what happened, on the 22nd, this video was fully uploaded and scheduled to publish on Christmas morning. Once 7am, 12/25 rolled around, instead of the video being published, the video disappeared from YouTube without warning and Red had to quickly upload it before going to spend time with family. There was a tweet made about it and stuff. Red's still a little mad about it and will most likely mention it in the next episode of the podcast.

This week we cover the second half of our favorite and most exhausting event of the year, DragonCon! (If you noticed a shortage of geeks in your area over Labor Day weekend... they were all in Atlanta. And they were all ahead of us in the line at Starbucks.) Including: The Geek Girls Run; Classic Sci-Fi Court (good luck, 1984 Supergirl movie); stars from Doctor Who, Cobra Kai, V, and The Magicians; puppeteer Allan Trautman (from Dinosaurs and yikes, The Letter People!); Tai Chi with Silver Spoons star Erin Gray; our panels on Krypton, Doom Patrol, Pennyworth, Russian Doll, Kidd Video (!), and podcasting for authors; RetroBlasting with 1980s ninjas; a pie-fueled ESO Network gathering; the 30th anniversary of Weird Al's movie UHF; and lots more convention silliness. (Did we find people in costume as the Miser Brothers, the Price is Right yodeling guy, and Toonces the Driving Cat? Yes, yes, and yes.) Also: Ed Begley Jr.'s birthday, and the Top Ten songs this week in 1984. (Prince's "Let's Go Crazy" was at number four... and the future attendees of DragonCon were listening.)

Happy November, Christmas Fanatics! We are officially in the Christmas season (Finally!), so if you haven't decorated yet or started your shopping, you better get on it!To celebrate the holiday season finally being upon us, Julia, Thom, and Anthony kick off two straight months of "Christmas Classics" with a return to the world of Rankin/Bass by covering 1974's The Year Without a Santa Claus! Will the hosts hold this annual staple in a higher regard than they have other Rankin/Bass productions, or will even the memorable and iconic Miser Brothers be unable to save this special? In addition, this episode also features two big announcements: the launch of The Christmas Podcast Network and the start of another giveaway contest!So grab a cup of hot chocolate, settle into a cozy armchair beside your Christmas tree, and enjoy, because this is definitely a show you do not want to miss! 

On this episode, Joe & Johnny-5 tackle The Year Without A Santa Claus, a live-action, made-for-TV remake of the Rankin/Bass animated special, which has absolutely no reason to exist other than to fill a timeslot and to give our boys hell. It's got John Goodman as Santa, Michael McKean and Harvey Fierstein as the Miser Brothers... And... And... Listen, guys, this one is truly painful. Please, join us in our misery!

Our goofy holiday festivities continue with a special visit from the Mayor of Chickentown! And the Mayor is here to present a Top 4 1/2 List of Mayors! Specifically, all those wacky mayors from our favorite holiday cartoons! You may recall the mayor from 'Twas the Night Before Christmas (who freaked out over Mr. Trundle's broken clock) and the mayor from The Year Without a Santa Claus (who had to deal with those pesky Miser Brothers). But we cover some lesser known mayors too... including an evil mayor voiced by Charles Nelson Reilly! Yes, that really happened, and it was wonderful. Also: Tracy Bonham, Robin Hood: Men in Tights, the ESO Book Club, a Christmas Crustacean edition of What's in the Bag, and yes, evil gorillas. It's everything you need for a perfect holiday season. Enjoy.

Santa is injured and Christmas is in jeopardy (again!). Can the Miser Brothers step in to make a merry Christmas for all the good children in the world?

It's our final Flopcast of 2015! Almost time to flop over and relax! We celebrate with the return of Kornflake's regular National Whatever Day segment, in which we learn why paper snowflakes can be disgusting. (You're welcome!) Then Kevin reports on last month's Super Megafest convention, featuring Nichelle Nichols, Peter Tork and Bobby Hart, the Dukes of Hazzard, and the Miser Brothers. (Apparently Heat Miser finally outwitted Snow Miser, because we certainly had a green Christmas here in Chickentown.) And of course, we reveal our (really stupid) New Year's Resolutions. Meanwhile, Kornflake is spending the final days of 2015 frantically hopping on a trampoline, thanks to her OLD Year's Resolution. She is dedicated. And dizzy.

We analyze the rambling plot, the relationship of the Miser Brothers, and Mickey Rooney's alcoholism in the classic Rankin Bass nightmare: A Year Without a Santa Claus!

Santa is sick and planning to stay home and cancel Christmas. Can Mrs. Claus and a couple of elves find enough Christmas spirit to change his mind? Will the Miser Brothers help or hinder?
