Happy new year to all the quiz fans of meTV.
I also Loved the sons of Mother Nature from the year without a Santa Claus. Heat Miser and Snow Miser
A classic!! They didn't air that one as much before the era of cable, streaming, etc. I couldn't convince people that it had actually happened!! LOVE me some Misers!!
8/8. Rudolph and Frosty have been traditions in my family since 1984 (recorded from TV). Santa Claus is Comin' To Town became one in 1993 (parents bought this along with Rudolph and Frosty, since we had taped over the 1984 airings . . . . stupid us).

My buddy's mom had gone to Snuffy's then roadside stand in Scotch Plains, NJ. to buy meat
and had dragged us along. The older man in front of us in line turned to leave with his hamburger
when she gasped and said, "It's Jimmy Durante!"
His wife's family lived in town and he was getting dinner so he only chatted for a few minutes.
When we got home Mrs. Mullen told so many people about Durante being there she probably
trebled Snuffy's business.
Since then I get a kick out of seeing him kick the bucket in Mad Mad Mad World when it's on.
I'd have rather met his cast mates Jonathon Winters or Leo Gorcey but you can't have everything.

Great story. I remember Snuffy’s in Scotch Plains. I love Jimmy Durante’s scene in Mad Mad Mad World. Always makes me laugh. Thanks for the memories.
Hi Tootsieg,
Thanks pal. It's remarkable how many movies/TV series film in the area now.
Cranford is constantly in the flickers, I think the comedy "Guess Who's Coming" with
Bernie Mac got the ball rolling. Westfield had the series "Ed", a Queen Latifah movie,
a Japanese Rom-Com, many other films and lots of commercials. Oh and a Peter Falk
comedy at the Garwood Rest Bar in Garwood.

Does anyone remember when K-Mart carried the plastic characters from these movies? And yes, there were BOTH versions of the abominable snowman, the "before' and "after", as well as the same thing for the "Winter Warlock". and yep, I have them all.
