I do this thing where I convert stuff into 3D using AI software and host it in virtual cinemas in VR.
Every year I do the Star Wars trilogy for instance.
I decided, come this december, I'll do a bunch of Christmas stuff.
I'm looking for good forgotten specials, like how in the 70s they'd have that more often.
Stuff that's not cynical, has heart, etc.
So far I know I'm doing Rudolph the red nosed reindeer, It's a Wonderful Life, Home Alone, Andy Griffith Season 1 Christmas episode, Twilight Zone episode "the night of the meek", Scrubs Season 1 Christmas episode.
These streams, I let them go for 2-3 days even while I sleep, so I'm wanting as much recommendations as possible to fill out a long equivalent of a "day of programming" if that's a helpful way to think of it.
Again prefer stuff from the past. You'll notice my most recent choice is from 2001.
I know the 70s had tons and tons of specials that are just forgotten to time now, but can be found on the Internet Archive, so if there's any that you can recommend to me, I'd greatly appreciate it, or TV show Christmas episodes that aren't too cynical.
For instance, I like That 70s Show, but all their Christmas episodes are sort of subversive and anti-Christmas, whereas Scrubs despite all of its irreverent humor, has a really good message in its Christmas episode.
The meme of how bad it is is worse than the entire thing itself, ironically similar to the trend the prequels would go through.
Its bad compared to the originals, but its only this affront to god level horror if you hold up the originals as some perfect unquestionable masterpiece that should never be tarnished with such a laughably low thing.
As someone who was never a "big fan" of Star Wars, it was no worse than the same little specials any other franchise gets, and had some dumb funny bits in between the rough acting. And at this point its not even in the bottom 50% of garbage in the Star Wars universe, most of which is canon.
