Enter! TV & Media Av Contest: Holiday TV

[auntiehill]

This week's contest is all about holiday-season television, whether it's TV specials like "A Charlie Brown Christmas," or movies like "A Christmas Story" that play all Christmas day. What's your required holiday TV viewing? Is it something new, like "Prep and Landing," or something older, like "It's a Wonderful Life," or one of the numerous versions of "A Christmas Carol?"

I'm a sucker for Christmas specials. One of my all-time favorites is the classic animated "How the Grinch Stole Christmas."


Standard BBS av rules apply: 150x150 max, 140 KB max. The poll will go up sometime on Monday evening.

I assume Sci-fi is allowed this time, since many christmas specials just are fantastical in nature anyway.

As a fan of Santa Claus and his history, I loved the Bruce Campbell version from last year's "The Librarians" christmas episode.

Yes, sci/fi fantasy is allowed, obviously. But...um...that particular one hasn't even aired yet, so how can it be your favorite? But I'll allow it.

Because you said, what's mandatory watching for you, and that is the only mandatory watching for me this year! And I picked it as representative for all DW christmas specials, since I can only show one... unless i make a gif out of all of them or something.... hm, I may get back to you.

Remember, though, that there's a 140 KB limit.

You can do just that one, if you want. But hey, if you can make them all into one, that would be great, too!

Wishing you all a very Patrick Swayze Christmas.

Though maybe not quite as prevalent these days, there used to be a tradition of Bond films airing at Christmas in the UK, and if you're going to watch a Bond film you might as well watch one of the best and the one that's actually set at Christmas!

Ok, I made an av of all the dw christmas specials, but in order to fullfill the 140kb requirements i had to make a smaller than usual.
Too small?

 

[auntiehill]

^No, that looks cool. Probably will win, too.

 

[Timelord79 (he/him)]

Well, thanks for the confidence vote. competition as usual is strong, though.

The size is alright, but you're missing "The Next Doctor", and "A Christmas Carol" and "The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe" are in the wrong order.

But I agree with auntiehill, you're chances of winning this are very good.

Damit!
Ok, here's the plan. Let's pretend no one read that and keep it as it is. I could reverse the two switched Specials but no way I can squeeze one more into those 140kb without having to hand out magnifying glasses.

What, you wanna cheat?!










Yeah, alright.
