I'd never seen it before.

1. So far, not much plot.

[virgdem]

2. They've had a Yule Log on WPIX in New York...

since the 60's. I used to watch it just for laughs while wondering who in their right mind would watch that for 3+ hours.

3. You're missing the point. You're supposed to roast hot dogs on it.

[virgdem]

13. Oh goody...

I'll go get the marshmallows!!!

[Tangerine LaBamba]

4. With the proper herbal assistance,

that is a brilliant thing to watch, containing therein the mysteries of the universe, and all the answers to all the questions.

Unless those goddamn birds start flying through the room again.

You ever look at your hands? I mean, REALLY look at them................................

5. They are playing radio programs (up first was "It's A Wonderful Life".).

Included were the radio commercials of starlets selling, for instance, Lux Toilet Soap. I found it kind of amusing.

:smoke:

18. Dude!

My hand ... it's like a roadmap of Michigan! Wow.....

[Book Lover]

6. Hey!

Sit down and watch, no, but have on in the background as you clean up, cook, wrap presents, horse around... it helped create a nice atmosphere.

[Renew Deal]

8. It's on tomorrow from 9-1.

I'm looking forward to it.

[BrklynLiberal]

7. They are playing oldtime radio shows with the Yule log

They just finished an old Burns and Allen show and now they are playing Fibber McGee and Molly

[BrklynLiberal]

9. The Great Gildersleeve is on now..

This is the image on my TV

[DesertRat]

10. It's a little too warm here for a real fire, so I like watching one on tv

:-)

[Lucian]

11. That Yule log program is so tacky.

Seriously. I don't know why anyone would ever keep that damn thing on their tv.

[Lex]

12. the kitsch factor is high

which is usually a good thing

[BrklynLiberal]

14. Just finished a radio version of the Miracle on 34th St with original cast.

now Orson Welles is introducing "A Christmas Carol" starring Lionel Barrymore.. Welles is narrating it.

They even play the original old commercials...LUX Soap, etc.

[tilsammans]

17. It's on now!

Yeah, it's corny. Yeah, it's kitschy. But it's a not-to-be-missed holiday tradition in our house.

Happy holidays, everyone!

:toast:

19. The tried it on a local staton but it didn't work well.....

for some reason a Yule log in the fireplace doesn't translate well to radio!;)
