This is absolutely the worst Christmas special ever. Mac Davis narrates. I can't wait.

Well i didnt seem that bad to me. Sure its not the greatest holiday special of all time. But it could be worse. It could be hosted by Ernest Borgnine and be produced by the people who gave you Merlin's Shop of Mystical Wonders. By the way if you want to see it. They have it on Youtube. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAVOgJzPTF8

I watched some of it last night. It didn't make me wretch, but I sure don't want to pay $9 + to buy the thing. I hope my local Blockbuster has it for rental. I'm going there tonight to get "Firewall." and hopefully the Rankin Bass thing is there as well.

I had a hard time finding this one in Canada. It is for sale at a local Chapters/Indigo for $18 Cdn!! Luckily, I found another *supplier* who doesn't charge "as much". My only beef with this choice is the fact that its not as availabe on DVD as say the classic Rudolf special. Also the Rudolf special is approx 44 mins and Nester is only 21 mins. I was hoping for somthing bigger for a Christmas special rifftrax We're probably not going to see another rifftrax 'till the new year.

Hmm... Quite an interesting choice. ABC Family shows this one insescently around this time of year. It's pretty dialogue-heavy for its runtime, and I'm not sure if the religious content would hinder Mike's commentary. None the less, this will probably be a decent Rifftrax.
BTW, the narrator is actually Roger Miller, of posthumous Hamsterdance fame; not Mac Davis.

I wonder if it would be possible to watch this with the Youtube version and the Rifftrax mp3? I don't have the slightest idea where else to find it off of the TV.

Apparently I was a wealth of mis-information on this one, but for my money it's terrible and should be fun to watch with Mike's riffs.

This is not the last rifftrax for the year. I actually think this was a sort of last minute 'oh they seriously wanted a christmas riff? for real?' addition.

For some reason, I could see it available on my work computer but it doesn't show up on my home computer when I login to the website...? I'll just try again tomorrow.
