Three personal favourites of mine, so it will be very embarrassing if I have any of these wrong...
ReplyDelete9. Millennium "Midnight of the Century"
10. Buffy "Amends"
13. Doctor Who "The Christmas Invasion"
Hey there,
ReplyDeleteTricky one this week! A few wild guesses on my part...
6. Twin Peaks - The Great Northern?
8. The X-Files
13. Doctor Who - The Auton Invasion or was it The Christmas Invasion?
Happy Christmas to you & your family John. Thanks again for a wonderful blog. Best wishes from Ireland.
David Colohan
And I will also chastise myself for missing another favourite on the first sweep...
ReplyDelete8. The X-Files "How the Ghosts Stole Christmas"
Another wild guess...
ReplyDelete9. Millennium: Midnight of the Century?
Hi Adam and David,
ReplyDeleteSome very tricky ones this week. I tried to pick a collection of sort of iconic Christmas imagery, from Santa to snow, to decorations and trees. Very tough.
Adam: Yes, you successfully identified #9, #10 and #13. Very well done, my friend. Excellent job!
David: Merry Christmas to you as well, my friend. I always appreciate reading your comments, and seeing your name here, sir! You successfully identified #8, from the X-Files.
A great start to this holiday edition, Adam and David!
best,
John
A final sweep for me on this one...
ReplyDelete1. The Twilight Zone - Night Of The Meek
5. Lois & Clark?
Will certainly be watching the Millennium episode again, now that ye've reminded me of it. Might be a nice excuse to start up the whole series again, not that much of an excuse is needed!
David: Yes, both of those identifications are correct, from the Twilight Zone and Lois & Clark individually. Outstanding job!!!
ReplyDeleteI return to Millennium frequently. So many episodes are great, and some of them play as feature film quality, even a decade later, so I'm simpatico with you there. Midnight of the Century is a pretty emotional show...
best,
John
Push comes to shove, season 2 of Millennium is my favourite season of any show. Agreed on the feature film quality too & yes, Midnight of the Century is a heartbreaker.
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm coming too late to get the (I guess more obvious) ones I know. No. 8 reminds me of Silent Night, Deadly Night, but that's a film. Is it from Tales from the Crypt?
ReplyDeleteA great collection, though I'm always sorry if you don't have the Real Ghostbusters and "X-Mas Marks the Spot" (then again, you didn't get animated this week.
Hi Hugh!
ReplyDeleteI wish I had thought of The Real Ghostbusters too! :)
I'm always trying to think of live-action and animated series that fit the trope of the week, to hlp demonstrate how pervasive or wide-spread it is. That said, I know I sometimes don't get all of the instances of them, because I can't find a good photo or image, or because, simply, I forget about a certain series episode!
I think you're talking about #4 for Tales from the Crypt (Larry Drake in Santa suit!)
All my best,
John
Is number 2: Night Gallery's "The Messiah on Mott Street?"
ReplyDeleteHi Joanna,
ReplyDeleteGreat job with a difficult identification there (but you ARE the Christmas Expert in Residence, in my opinion...)
Merry Christmas!
best,
John
YAY!! Thanks so much. Merry Christmas to you too :)
ReplyDelete#7. Star Trek:Voyager
ReplyDeleteSGB
#3. Six Million Dollar Man "A Bionic Christmas Carol"
ReplyDeleteSGB
SGB: Chalk two up for SGB! You accurately recognized Star Trek Voyager ("Death Wish") and Six Million Dollar Man's Bionic Christmas Carol! Fantastic!
