Here's the deal. I get home from running a few errands after church. Jorden had a performance of her play tonight, so I am home alone. I turn on the tube to see what's on. I notice that NBC is showing It's a Wonderful Life... a traditional Christmas classic!! I mean, people know this movie. They love this movie. It is a part of many family Christmas traditions for many.
So, you would think that other networks would run something to try and rival it a bit, wouldn't you? That's when I discovered what ABC was showing. Of all the great Christmas movies to choose from -- A Christmas Carol, Miracle on 34th Street, Scrooge, Christmas Story, A Charlie Brown Christmas, Elf, Christmas Vacation, The Grinch... and so on...
ABC chose to feature Surviving Christmas starring none other than the worst actor of our generation, Ben Affleck.
Good game ABC. I think we know who will win tonight's ratings. Maybe next year you can try Ernest Saves Christmas.
