Narrated by: Steve Marvel

For most of us, fond memories of the Christmas season are inseparable from television's holiday presentations. The world loves everything from iconic cartoons like How the Grinch Stole Christmas and A Charlie Brown Christmas to the groundbreaking Julia sitcom segment, "I'm Dreaming of a Black Christmas," Christmas in Rockefeller Center, and the 1992 television-remake of Christmas in Connecticut directed by Arnold Schwarzenegger. Christmas TV Memories: Nostalgic Holiday Favorites of the Small Screen embraces it all, offering a tinsel-decked traipse down memory lane and chronicling animated classics, variety shows, made-for-television features, and holiday-specific episodes of series like The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, and The Mary Tyler Moore Show. With a foreword by bestselling Free to Be You and Me author and That Girl star Marlo Thomas, along with commentary from other celebrities, historical quotes, and insights from entertainment journalists and archivists, Christmas TV Memories serves as the go-to companion to the small screen's most cherished holiday programs.

Boring!

I am a product of the late 50s and the 60s and the early part of the 70s. I thought I was going to enjoy this book and I thought it would be informative, however, I was grossly misled by what I thought. This book is drier than dust. Although there are some good shows that are mentioned just the telling of the story is boring. I thought it would delve more into how they came into being and how they were produced. Sorry, but this book isn’t for me, I was thinking about returning it, but I can’t find the button to return it so I guess I will continue to listen to see if there’s any tidbits that our memorial .
