Where To Watch
Pick: What Christmas specials would you watch in the 1980s?
Take your pick from Pee-wee, Perry, Kermit and Keanu.
There was no shortage of holiday specials in the 1980s. Everyone from classic crooners to popular cartoons got their own Christmas shows. In what other decades could you find Dean Martin singing with an orca… and He-Man's nemesis Skeletor learning the spirit of the season?
Let's look at some of the most memorable specials from the Eighties, year by year.
If you could only pick one, which would you watch? See how your taste in Christmas specials compares to others!

The Brothers Grimm, Hanna-Barbera or the family Osmond?

Children's television was pretty weird in the 1980s.

Would you like spend your Christmas with horror, with Homer, or on the lanai?

A lot of the choices were clearly aimed at low brows and that's being kind.
I wouldn't have touched most of them with a ten foot pole.
Believe it or not, the two part ALF Christmas special blows away almost all of these choices,
it had humor and pathos and an ending that will make you misty.

Took it twice 59% for what I would have watched at the time (or there about) 47% for what I would choose now as an adult.
Grew up watching Bob Hope, Andy Williams, Bing Crosby, George Burns and Dean Martin specials (I was an only child until I was 13, surrounded by adults). What's interesting--to me, anyway--is that it never occurred to me to even wonder why Bob Hope never seemed to spend Christmas at home. At least I don't recall ever asking my folks about it or wondering why he didn't get to go home.
72% similar. Always loved watching the Bing Crosby Christmas specials and never missed " A Charlie Brown Christmas".
42%, but some was easy and some was hard. Especially the last two. Especially the last one!! :xx

I got 69%. I'm a sucker for XMAS Specials. As long as Pee-Wee Herman does NOT come into my theater.

1988 needs a "none of the above" option. I prefer my Care Bears as stuffed animals (I have three), I never heard of Tattertown and I can't stand Pee-Wee Herman to this day. He's like Steve Urkel and Sheldon Cooper--the only proper thing to do is have 'em taken out and shot, the stuck-up, stupid, annoying little twits.

BAZINGA!! 😂😉
That's perfectly fine if you do not agree. I don't agree with everyone either. We all have our own opinions...
Sheldon Cooper is a stuck up shallow stupid jerk and The Big Bang Theory should have had somebody slug him LONG before the final episode!
Double BAZINGA 😂🤣
Can't get a score -- I refuse to answer #9.
John here's what you do to get a score. Click on one item #9. Get score. Take off 10% for score. Then pretend like you never answered #9.

: I really wish you wouldn't change the programming on here. I've got a routine that I watch every week night. Please don't change.

I never saw any of those Christmas specials. The only one that sounds good is Julie Andrews’ The Sound of Christmas.

48%, The He-Man/She-Ra is the greatest Xmas special since the Stars Wars one.
