   They wanted to do the Christmas Matinee thing again for seasonal   
   promotion (like RiffTrax doing the Carpenter "Halloween"), but seriously--   
   It's like redoing "Manos"...They called the original MST3K ep one of   
   "The Essentials" for a REASON.  -_-   
      
   (And particularly when there are so many *other* worthy troll-made   
   Christmas Matinees out of our unexplored collective 60's-70's past, back   
   when theaters actually showed them on Saturdays--   
   What about "Christmas That Almost Wasn't"?  "The Magic Christmas Tree"?   
      "Here Comes Santa Claus"?  "Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny"?)
