Podcasts about The Paul Lynde Halloween Special

For the second episode of Hollywood Stories' sophomore season, Richard Rushfield talks to the brilliant and bawdy Bruce Vilanch, known as the longtime joke purveyor extraordinaire for the Oscars (plus the Emmys, Tonys and more). But before he became the go-to for Hollywood galas, Vilanch got his start in writing for the big variety shows and specials that peppered the network schedules of the 1960s and '70s and represent the height of television's most flamboyant and unhinged period. Expanding on some of the wildest misadventures chronicled in  his new book, “It Seemed Like a Bad Idea at the Time,” Vilanch takes Richard through three of those song-and-dance spectaculars — the “Star Wars Holiday Special” that George Lucas famously disowned, the “Paul Lynde Halloween Special” and the short-lived series “The Brady Bunch Hour.” From writing material for graceless Wookiees to putting Robert Reed's Mike Brady in Carmen Miranda drag, Vilanch revels in how right it felt when everything went fantastically wrong. “It was ridiculous, but I had fun,” he recalls. “A lot of these things were conceived in clouds of smoke.” Learn more about your ad choices.

Dennis is joined via Zoom and telephone by writer to talk about his new book It Seemed Like A Bad Idea At The Time: The Worst TV Shows In History And Other Things I Wrote. The book attempts to answer the question, "How did this project happen?" about such so-bad-it's-delicious shows like The Star Wars Holiday Special, The Brady Bunch Variety Hour, The Paul Lynde Halloween Special as well as the feature films Can't Stop The Music and Ice Pirates. Bruce shares stories about working with Florence Henderson and Robert Reed on The Brady Bunch Variety Hour and reveals the famous socialite who was the Number 2 choice for "Fake Jan" on the show. Bruce, who was adopted as a baby, also shares the story of how, just in the last four years, DNA testing led him to discover a whole new birth family who have become a big part of his life. Other topics include: dealing with the Mormon elders while writing for Donny and Marie, what is was like to work with such 70's TV icons like Bob Hope, Robert Urich, Paul Lynde, Rip Taylor and Sid and Marty Krofft, why he he's happy to host benefits, the secret to his career longevity and the pact that he made to himself early in his career that "no one day should be like the other day."

"Bruce Vilanch, a storyteller without peer, has written a tell-all . . . on himself! And it's hilarious! He's finally coming clean and owning up to his part in creating some of the worst television of the twentieth century, and that's saying a lot. There's no one like him. As they've been saying since I discovered him as a cub reporter at the Chicago Tribune, when you're in a pinch . . . Get Bruce!" -BETTE MIDLER Bruce Vilanch is known as a go-to comedy writer for award shows, sitcoms, and top-heavy variety specials, but he has also been responsible for quite a few of the worst shows ever put on television-legendarily bad productions. Some of his work lives in infamy-The Star Wars Holiday Special, The Paul Lynde Halloween Special, Rob Lowe dancing with Snow White at the Oscars, and The Brady Bunch Variety Hour. How did these ever seem like a good idea? Well, everyone has screwed up a few times, or had their work screwed up by others. It Seemed Like a Bad Idea at the Time is a lifetime reflection of what Vilanch has experienced, learned, forgotten, dismissed, and embraced in decades of working in show business, specifically the south forty acres known as comedy. It involves very famous people and people who were not very famous but should have been.

Vi undrar och förundras Tema: The Paul Lynde Halloween Special 1976 Året är 1976. Tänk dig en familjevänlig Halloween-special på bästa sändningstid med den kvicka komikern Paul Lynde. Lägg sedan till den elaka häxan från Oz, Witchiepoo från H.R. Pufnstuf... och det explosiva rockbandet Kiss i full sminkning! Denna osannolika kombination blev verklighet i "The Paul Lynde Halloween Special", ett program som blivit en kultklassiker bland Kiss-fans och alla som älskar udda TV-historia. Som vanligt blir det samtal om annat Kiss relaterat under färden...

Tread Perilously continues a witchy October with The Paul Lynde Halloween Special. When neighborhood kids harass Paul Lynde about his plans to celebrate Halloween, he flees to the home of his housekeeper's sister. But he soon learns both are witches with remarkable resemblances to Witchiepoo and The Wicked Witch of the West. As it turns out, they want him to be a spokesman for witches. In return, he'll get three wishes granted and a private concert from KISS. The latter aspect is not negotiable. What wishes will Paul get granted? Will KISS let Peter sing "Beth"? And will guest stars Billy Barty, Florence Henderson, and Betty White make a mark on the proceedings? Erik and Justin try to deal with a variety special making a stab at an ongoing narrative. They also conjure the Osmonds back into existence. The previous on-screen persona of Betty White is explored. Bruce Vilanch returns as Erik reads out a very long list of writers. The Pinky Tuscadero phenomenon gets explained ... including the unlikely connection to Suzi Quatro. The pair take a closer look at KISS and give "Beth" a review. Erik decries the industry for not giving Margaret Hamilton a true starring role and the long delayed Alien: Romulus chat finally occurs.

I speak with Paul Lynde's biographer, author Cathy Rudolph

Just in the nick of time when spooky levels are at their peak, the Kaiju Hollywood Bad Boys Martin, Brandon and Luke are back with the reigning and returning champion Marylou Johnson to discuss the Paul Lynde Halloween Special. Highlights include Frank's Dune, the doyle run down and a reminder that we should do more research on our own episodes.

My guest this week is actor Ray Stewart, who first came to my attention in the role of Darryl Driscoll on the 70s sitcom Barney Miller. Ray played half of a same-sex couple at a time when such characters were vanishingly rare. But you've also seen him on everything from The Bob Newhart Show to Benson to Days of Our Lives and more — and that's not even touching on his career in film and Broadway. Ray's work has taken him around the world and across countless stages, and at 91 years old he's still working in the career he loves — and now, using his success to help other artists like him.We'll have that conversation in a minute. First, a couple quick reminders, starting with a heads-up that my new video about Psycho and the creation of Norman Bates just went live — check that out on my YouTube channel. And keep your eyes peeled for my next video, all about the life and loves of 50s heartthrob Tab Hunter. Also, I hope you'll join me for weekly livestreams over on Twitch every Sunday afternoon at twitch.tv/mattbaume. We just did a watch-along of the anarchically gay Paul Lynde Halloween Special, and we'll be enjoying even more queer Halloween treats this weekend.Also if you haven't yet, take a look at my new book about the history of queer characters on American sitcoms, Hi Honey, I'm Homo! — available now wherever books are sold. Go to gaysitcoms.com for details. You can even get a signed, personalized copy … which would make a great holiday gift.Big thanks to everyone who makes all my work possible on Patreon — visit patreon.com/mattbaume to support Sewers of Paris and get patron-exclusive benefits.

Fozzy bassist PJ Farley and the Pod of Thunder gang return for a special Halloween watchalong featuring their favorite band – KISS!  But it's NOT a KISS special! It's The Paul Lynde Halloween Special which originally aired on ABC all the way back on October 29, 1976. They break down the skits and stars of the comedy special starring comedian and Hollywood Squares regular, Paul Lynde. They ponder why everyone from Donny & Marie to Roz Kelly (aka Pinky Tuscadero on Happy Days) to Billy Barty to Florence Henderson and KISS were tapped to participate. They discuss the heavily-edited KISS performances, the comments that both Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons have made about the special over the years, and why and how they think the special got made in the first place. Plus, they offer up their favorite scenes and moments, and their ultimate review of the program as a whole. See it or skip it?

It's the one and only Brue Vilanch!

He tells me about meeting Bette Midler, which led to their decades long working relationship and personal friendship.

The Paul Lynde Halloween Special (October 29, 1976) It's the first TableCakes crossover! But is Gayest Episode Ever making an appearance on Monday Afternoon Monday or vice versa? Who cares! The point is that Sam Pancake — actor, comedian and host of MAM — is discussing The Paul Lynde Halloween Special with Drew and Glen in all its vintage bonkers badness. If there is one significant difference in this episode, it's probably that it's light on clips because 1) the jokes aren't great and 2) Sam does a good enough impression of Paul Lynde that he can spare you from having to listen to the original audio. Watch this special right now on YouTube, if you want to for some weird reason. Subscribe to Monday Afternoon Monday and, in particular, listen to Drew's episode about the Valerie Harper made-for-TV shocker Don't Go to Sleep.

Jacques family IS Halloween year-round … but actually Halloween is just extra special… Special like the Paul Lynde Halloween Special that Jacques watched again with Joe post his family's covid safe out door Halloween Party (and really EVERYONE should get to watch Ghostbusters with Joe at least once in their lives!) On sad / tragic side of life … death on a film set, passing of actor Peter Scolari and Joe Manchin is still a GOP prick. Biff talks the return of the NHL to national TV coverage and how good TNT is at it and how good Wolfgang Van Halen is at dealing with trolls.  Biff also talks a little Shout Factor TV and Jacques talks Only Murders In The Building. Mel Brooks has a new History Of The World and Donny 3-Scoops tries to have a new Social Media platform.  Parenting tips, Crime In Japan story and much much … well much more … well … a tad more but not really.   CP on Twitter: @CarnivalPodcast       CP on Instagram: @Carnivalpersonnelpodcast                      Biff on Twitter is @BiffPlaysHockey Jacques on Twitter is @TheJacques4   Opening Song: Gomer by Dan Cray and Beyond Id Closing Song: I-Rock by Five Head (John Hunt III)

My guest this week has some catching up to do. David is a writer who grew up in a religious family, and until his early 30s was closeted and struggled through ex-gay treatments until he finally came out. Helping him to make the adjustment: Star Trek, where he came to realize he'd picked up more of his sense of right and wrong than from the church. After cutting ties with his old life, he sold almost everything he owned for a one-way bus ticket to LA, where a couple of lucky breaks kept him from living on the street and got him into the industry he'd always dreamed of joining.We'll have that conversation in a minute. First a big thanks to everyone who supports the Sewers of Paris at Patreon.com/mattbaume. And to everyone who's left a review on Apple podcasts or wherever you listen.Also don't forget to check out my YouTube where I post videos about queer pop culture history — I've got a new one all about The Paul Lynde Halloween Special. And you can also head over to my Patreon to watch hours of bonus videos featuring stories of queer TV and film history.And check out my cute little newsletter where I share sneak peeks at what I'm working on at mattbaume.com.

(TRIGGER WARNINGS: We are going over a comedy special from the 1970s which even though aired on TV for family audiences, includes jokes that are not PC by today's standards. These jokes make light of RACISM, ANTI-SEMITISM, ORIENTALISM, MISOGYNY, DOMESTIC ABUSE, and ADDICTION. If any of these are hard topics for you please feel encouraged to skip this week's episode.) This week on an “Extra-Special" Princess Jafar's Christmas is Cancelled we talk the 1976 made-for-TV Halloween special, Paul Lynde's Halloween Special, with our “Extra-Special” special guest all the way from Finland, Tristan Reid, who is a writer producer comedian and drag host to the stars!  Runtime: 1 Hour 23 minutes.  Follow Tristan Reid and Princess Jafar on instagram @Reid_Tristan and @PrincessJafar, disprespectfully.

This week on It was a Thing on TV, Greg and Chico deal with White House shenanigans, a horse playing baseball, witches and Tim Conway (?!?!)   First, in Episode 103 we discussed Paul Lynde's self-titled sitcom at ABC in 1972-73. After another failed sitcom with Paul in a starring role at ABC, Paul did various guest spots on shows to fulfill his contract with the network. In 1976, Fred Silverman decided to give Paul his own primetime special for Halloween and in true Paul Lynde fashion he made it his own. Listen as Paul is trapped in a haunted mansion with The Wicked Witch of the West and Wilhemina W. Witchiepoo while having to battle with Tim Conway. Also it's got KISS, Betty White, Billy Barty and Florence Henderson singing disco, how can you go wrong?   Next, we're covering our second baseball episode of the month. In Episode 54 we covered the 2004 reboot pilot of Mister Ed so now we're covering one of our favorite episodes from the original series. For the show's fourth season premiere in 1963, our favorite horse and Wilbur pay a visit to Dodger Stadium to see their favorite team along with legendary coach Leo Durocher. This episode answers the question can a HAWSE go deep against the great Sandy Koufax?    Finally, in 2001, South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone created a send up of television sitcoms involving the then brand new presidency of George W. Bush. It had the brilliance that the duo is known for, so why did this show only get eight episodes? Chico and Greg try to find out the reasons why in this episode.   Follow us at our social media pages over @ItWasAThingOnTV and send any show suggestions or feedback to our e-mail at contact@itwasathingontv.com   One of these days Laura ........

Sam wraps up his Ghoul-A-Thon 2020 challenge. This recap includes movies such as Trick 'r Treat, House on Haunted Hill, Await Further Instructions, Train to Busan, and of course the Paul Lynde Halloween Special.

Trick or treat!? Maybe both. In this episode, Rob and Michelle ran out of ideas for October and channeled their creative energy (and the talents of their coworkers) to recreate the magic of an old TV Holiday Special. It is heavily influenced by the 1976 Paul Lynde Halloween Special. These no-holds-barred TV events included sketch comedy, special guests, and musical numbers for a wacky, feel-good time. The Paul Lynde Special included Betty White, Florence Henderson, Witchipoo, The Wicked Witch of the West, Donnie and Marie, and the first TV appearance for KISS. Paul Lynde is most famous for his role as Uncle Arthur on Bewitched, and his time as the center square on Hollywood Squares. Show notes are here. 2020 has been difficult for many people for many reasons, and we can’t possibly address the ways in which and how hard this time has been, but what we can try to do is to bring you a little creativity and a few laughs to brighten your day.

‘The Paul Lynde Halloween Special’, A Celebration“Boy George Without Makeup” will not be shown this evening to bring you something even more frightening…”“Hiya darlings and galpals! It’s Sparkle Sid… Well, someone had to be.As we approach Halloween in a year where events are uncertain as they started, one thing can be for certain: the media we get inspiration from as adolescents.One piece of important media to me growing up were those comedy specials in the 1970s. Think the Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour, the Brady Bunch Hour and the multitude of programs produced by Sid and Marty Kroft. If you have never seen these, I have provided links in the show notes to indulge while overcoming your seasonal depression as the snow begins to fall...I have one more suggestion for you today on the 44th anniversary of one particular special that comes to mind this season… ‘The Paul Lynde Halloween Special’!The Paul Lynde Halloween Special arose after a few failed attempts by ABC to highlight Paul Lynde’s grating sense of humour for a network television audience that were watching these types of shows at the time. Because he was always considered a secondary character rather than a leading man, you can tell in this special that he was recovering from the fragments of a fractured soul that he developed as a larger child growing up. He even emphasizes this fact in the opening monologue of the special about being “FAAAAAAAT.”Growing up as a queer kid in the 90s I felt I stood out a different way; attracted to the plastic set pieces and the flashing lightbulbs of game show sets, rather than the dramatic reality shows that played on channels like MTV that my peers were watching. I empathized with Paul’s woes as he navigated mainstream show business as a personality that was ‘just a little bit SPESHULLLL’. The audience knew he was gay. The people who worked with knew he was gay, but there was something kept hush hush about it in those times…Back to the special. It’s not the best, I have to admit. The special touts a very random all-star cast featuring actresses Margaret Hamilton as the Wicked Witch of the West, and Billie Hayes as Witchiepoo from H.R. Pufnstuf. Cameos include Donny and Marie Osmond, Florence Henderson, Betty White, and the television debut of KISS?The special is a confusing mix of writing (led by comedy newcomer Bruce Villanche) that attempted to relaunch the career of someone who was a minority to society at the time, and the special fails to gain momentum for this endeavor. In one of the special’s most confusing moments, he tries to be a truck driver AND a disco party host at the same time. Regardless of this, he is still obligated by the network to perform the song that highlighted his career: the cynical “Kids” from the musical Bye Bye Birdie set to a backdrop of flashing pumpkins and a plethora of gyrating dancers. The entire special was an irreverent feature of Paul Lynde’s capabilities as a leading man, and thus did not do as well as it should. That and, do you know anyone else who received the tail end of holidays to celebrate for a variety special?The special culminates into a stiff rendition of the song “Disco Baby” before Lynde closes the show with one of the most genuine words I have ever heard in a TV special…As times change and queer people are more visible in TV, we must not forget those who attempted to break down barriers in show business before us. We must appreciate and celebrate the failed attempts of our predecessors. The smaller players that helped build our communities up need a light shined on their achievements. Consider the Paul Lynde Halloween Special as a lesson about living with a vengeance; meaning, learning from the mistakes of those before us to propel ourselves in order to maximize the Star Power that we all have inside of us to succeed! And sometimes, we just need the encouragement from those around us to motivate us and carry on…With that being said, after our episode about musicals next week with the fabulous R Marshall, the podcast will be changing a bit. As someone who has been interviewing people he admires in his life, Sparkle Sid wants to turn the tables.That’s right… I am be inviting YOU, dear listeners, to be a part of the show!Do you admire someone you know and want the world to know who they are? Or do you just want to gush about a celebrity crush on our show? Sparkle Sid is here to help! Think of our show as a mix between the shows This is Your Life, Queen for a Day, and the $1.98 Beauty Show where your “quiet heroes” will finally get the credit they deserve!Who are the people in media that have inspired YOU? I want to know! Send me an email at sparklesid@vicuriousmedia.com to have your hero and yourself as a guest on the show!With that being said, dear listeners, I wish you a happy and safe Halloween, and want you at your very best self. As for the show, I hope we have been a ‘howling’ success so far!See you next week, darlings and galpals, bye!

Today we join good friend Anthony Methvin in the patch to await The Great Pumpkin. We're missing spooky season the way we've come to know and love it, but Halloween finds a way!

Hi everyone. They were playing a musician on WFMU on Thursday that used to work with Adam and I realized how much no one holds a candle to him and how much I miss him in my life. Just sayin. But don't worry there's plenty to lift us up - you know, like a seasonal clip from the Paul Lynde Halloween Special and the smartest inventor in the world who developed an app to tell you if the McDonalds near you has their ice cream machine in working order (BRILLIANT)! Also, Banksy, Sammy and the Happy Days Gang. Even thought it's titled oddly, it's a super fun episode of the Nightfly. :) See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In this knee-slapper of an episode, the Monster Men take the center square for the win. What better way to start Horrortober than a trip back to that magical era where every star had their own variety show? And what better show to unearth than the Paul Lynde Halloween Special from 1976? It’s a cavalcade of stars surrounding the master comic who looked like someone had a gun to his head from start to finish. The jokes may fall flatter than Jack and Hunter's ass cheeks, but the unintentional humor is hysterical. Come join Paul and his witchy friends as they're joined by the likes of Florence Henderson, Betty White, Pinky Tuscadero, Tim Conway and…wait for it…KISS (who perform 3 songs because we guess the writers ran out of corny jokes)! Hunter also reviews a fun Halloween read, Creature Feature, by Steven Paul Leiva (you can get it on Amazon and Jack recommends – Monster Carnival, an anthology of classic and rare tales of horror collected and edited by William P. Simmons.

Paul Lynde hosting the hell out of the special, drowning the audience in a sea of laughter via zinger. The whole special is available here, and highly recommended! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCJ0D4pI0tI

Welcome to The Albums That Saved Us. Music has always been a huge part of my life since I was a little kid. I think I can tie it back to 1976, those days before VCRs and Youtube, and if you didn't see it, you didn't see it. KISS. Paul Lynde Halloween Special, 1976. The Albums That Saved Us will be about the albums, songs, and bands that saved my life, and I would imagine many of our lives. Music has that effect where a song can bring you back to a certain time, place, feeling. That's what I want to talk about. I hope you will listen. Each week I'll focus on an album by a band, and discuss. Sometimes I'll have guests. I am going to post weekly social posts related to the album of the week and experiment with live casting where people can join in the conversation.

In the first of two Halloween episodes, we discuss the 1976 Paul Lynde Halloween Special. 

Film Writer, Bestselling Author and Horror Movie Aficionado DAVID KONOW joins us on the audio bench this week as we celebrate HALLOWEEN in the best way possible: by checking out the lost variety show classic The Paul Lynde Halloween Special. Paul Lynde, famed comedian and gay icon, was famous for singing the 'kids' song from BYE BYE BIRDIE (the movie, not the play) and for being the centre square for CELEBRITY SQUARES throughout the 70's.

How could I have forgotten to do the Paul Lynde Halloween Special reading at the Comedy Cellar? My bad. Also, all the other douches who now have to pay the piper besides Weinstein. Once again, the absolute genius of SCTV and I have the proof. And, Andrea McCardle - yes the original Annie, how does she fit in?

Paul Lynde did a Halloween Special. It has the Wicked Witch of the West! Witchiepoo! AND KISS!!

This week join Steve as he begins surgery on the 1976 Paul Lynde Halloween Special. Jonathan occasionally hands Steve a scalpel, especially in terms of attempting to get behind Lynde’s troubles with the bottle. Otherwise, it is a lot of lighthearted, Halloween fun as we attempt to survive some of the most surreal 1970s variety […]

Every week director Robert W Schneider and actor Kevin David Thomas pull back the curtain on neglected, forgotten, and under appreciated musicals, as well as bizarre performances, endearing television appearances, and all things show business.

We're just in time for a spooktacular look at two beloved Halloween specials. The Halloween that Almost Wasn't (1979) has a disco-battle with 1976's The Paul Lynde Halloween Special (not really), and we duke it out ourselves with some serious Skype issues, including a sound delay which makes the whole recording just a touch bit awkward. But our love of the season is in check, and so is the fake Paul Lynde chest hair, so give us a whirl, disco baby!

It's the end of The House of Franklin-Stein for 2016…and the beginning of Hammer Horror! Chris and Cindy discuss 1957's The Curse of Frankenstein starring Peter Cushing as the mad but charismatic baron, and Christopher Lee as his grotesque creation! This film launched the Hammer Horror tradition; the color, the gore and the glamour! Then, instead of the dusty comic long boxes, the intrepid duo fire up the old TV set, for a look at a 1979 episode of the Super Friends: “The Super Friends Meet Frankenstein”! The mad doctor takes the powers and abilities of Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman and makes a Super Monster! Can Super Robin stop him? Subscribe via iTunes.

How's everyone's October going? We hope it's extra spoooooooky! For this episode, we wanted to talk about a couple of our most favorite Halloween specials. No, not the Paul Lynde Halloween Special, but that's a close third. Friends, this week we are talking about Ghostwatch and the WNUF Halloween Special. GHOSTWATCH (1992) Held as one of the most […] The post GHOSTWATCH / WNUF HALLOWEEN SPECIAL by Elbee Bargeron appeared first on Ouch My Ego! - Music, Art, & Culture Blog of the Rio Grande Valley.

The year 1976 is explored in this star-spangled episode.  Join the  “Boys and Ghouls” duo as they look at the fashions of  “Carrie” and examine what the energy crisis did for the “King Kong” remake. Hitch a ride, as they look at the first batch of “Jaws” rip-offs to hit the theater.  Then, they have sympathy for the devil as they take on ’76 satanic cinema with “The Omen” and “To the Devil a Daughter”. Then, they keep on truckin’ with mid-70’s children’s programing, Vincent Price product promoting, and the dazzling but stupefying 1976 time capsule that is the “Paul Lynde Halloween Special”. Can you dig it? I knew that you could.

Fall is upon us and you know what that means... Halloween Specials! Andy is joined by Josh, Scott, and Michael (the Cartoon Crew) to recommend four more specials for the season including Happy Days "Haunted", The Paul Lynde Halloween Special, Bugs Bunny's Howl-oween Special, and The Simpsons: Treehouse of Horror VIII. So pour yourself a bowl of monster cereal and get into the spooky spirit of the season! ********************* Join the RF4RM Newsletter!

The month long bonanza of Halloween episodes begins with the magic of Paul Lynde’s comedy, and the marvel that is Elvira’s bust – only one of those things is real (you’ll be shocked to find out which one!). The Paul Lynde Halloween Special Elvira, Mistress of the Dark

I talk about a few of my own photos in this lone-wolf episode of the igrewupstarwars.com podcast. I also wrap up my childhood drama "Attack of the Monster from Space", and for some reason I mention too much about my love for he Paul Lynde Halloween Special.

Movie Meltdown - Episode 207 This holiday season, we embark upon the most frightening journey EVER!! We sit down to watch The Star Wars Holiday Special ... or at least attempt to make it through the entire thing. It turns out to be one of the greatest challenges of our lives. But not before we take a moment to acknowledge one of the creepiest of holiday songs. Plus a certain member of the gang, explains how Frosty the Snowman and Invasion of the Body Snatchers and Hamlet are all basically the same story.   And before the Rohypnoled kicks in, we also mention... Hillary's little helpers, Jefferson Starship, Starlog, unplayable guitars, The Paul Lynde Halloween Special, Lumpy, The Flintstones Christmas, a snow golem, Art Carney-isms, On the Implausibility of the Death Star's Trash Compactor, coked-up studio executives, ingredients for a intersteller cooking show, thumpety thump thump, weird Polish plays, how many TV's does that treehouse have, prepare for sudden stop, I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus, Cosmic Battlestation, using the word contraceptive in a children's book, Hidden Fortress, giant Wookie eating utensils, this holiday special is like Nascar, space domestic abuse, Jon Bon Jovi is a jedi, rhyming a word with the same word, heartfelt songs about teenage girls, get a keytar, Ann Margret & Al Hirt, mixed vegetable chum, Joe Dante, VideoDrome, Frankenstein, raunchy 50's TV shows, shag carpet in a wookie house?, Dr. Suess, the world don't move to the beat of just one drum, Diahann Carroll, it's like Lonesome Dove, Barry the monster and... at least I can say that i tried?  All this and more on The Movie Meltdown Holiday “Special”!!!  "You've not only ruined my favorite Christmas song... but you've actually ruined the concept of the Christmas special. And I feel like I have nothing now. "
