Bleeeeech! and raspberries to any "holiday" programming. I watched the entire first season of "Upstairs, Downstairs" this weekend (and two episodes of NCIS).
I love Halloween and Christmas but I cannot stand the commercialization and the glut of so-called seasonal shows. I have Netflix hooked to the TV ('thank you' techie son) and can watch old or foreign movies or classic television. Phew!
