Michael would have NEVER let any of Jeff-Katz' stuff on ABC, would he?

Originally Posted By MomofPrincess I'm so glad it's on again! I wanted to tape it for my kids to watch (and I missed it). I'm glad we have the Grinch and Charlie Brown Xmas on tape so we can watch those anytime. It's not Christmas (to me) without them, yet I always seem to miss them when they're on tv!

What is also equally interesting is that NBC in San Francisco will be airing a local holiday parade featuring Mickey Mouse as the Master of Ceremonies. What will we see next...the NBC peacock on CBS? OK broadcasters....let's get our company mascots on the proper networks so as not to confuse our viewers! I missed Shrek but very much enjoyed watching the original Grinch.

But then again, I presume that the NBC network would give Univeral Studios a discount to air it on its own network. Shrek is a DreamWorks property. Universal Studios just has the the Theme Park rights to use the characters and show the Shrek Attraction, similar to Indiana Jones or Star Tours.

This was definitely while Eisner was still with the company and resulted in several series (I believe "Spin City" was the first under the deal). Despite the various public feuds that we all hear about from time to time, it is important to remember that the key word in "show business" is "business". It isn't at all uncommon for companies or individuals that are attacking one another in the press to simultaneously be in business with each other if a deal seems to make sense. -Jeff
Originally Posted By christiemarsh88 I didn't catch Shrek the Halls, but I'm not really a huge Shrek fan so I'm not all that disappointed. The first one was great, but not so much the sequels. I just wanted to ask if it bothered anyone else that they've stolen the Black Adder title pattern. The Black Adder--Shrek Black Adder II--Shrek 2 Black Adder the Third--Shrek the Third Black Adder Goes Forth--Shrek Goes Fourth But what will they call the fifth Shrek--there were only four Black Adder series.

Originally Posted By kdladyj I thought this was sooo adorable.. it will be added to my list of xmas movie favorites along with White Christmas, Charlie Brown Christmas, and Home Alone. The part with Puss in Boots was my absolute favorite "I have shamed myself" Im glad it was only a half an hour.. all of the classic xmas cartoons are only half. p.s. I always watched a Yogi Bears Xmas every year which I loved soo much.. what happened to that? I miss it.
