For some reason growing up, they always aired A Christmas Story after Xmas on the 26th or 27th, when Xmas stuff was kinda depressing because it was all over, so I've never seen it and still keep that post-xmas blues emotional attachment I had as a kid.

as a Jew I have the opposite thing going on. I mean, when's the last time you've seen the emmy award winning There's No Such Thing as a Chanukah Bush on Network television?

I only watch A Christmas Story and Die Hard. Probably have seen each at least four hundred times and they just don't get old.

Do you watch Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights?

Jingle all the Way is also a fantastic children's movie.

As a pretend jew (I do it for the chocolate coins), the only thing they need to show, in my opinion, is A Rugrats Chanukah. Which is probably the most impressionable holiday special I had ever seen. Of course, AFAIK, they can never show A Rugrats Chanukah ever again.

They still show Rugrats reruns (I have a 3 year old brother).

IIRC, they don't show that particular episode or any of the ones involving the grandpa because of complaints from the Anti-Defamation League that he looks like a Nazi-era caricature of a Jew, or something silly like that.

brawndolicious · « **Reply #15 on:** December 20, 2010, 03:57:50 PM »

Well I know that they do show the grandpa. It's not like they can mosaic him out.

Robo · « **Reply #16 on:** December 20, 2010, 03:59:05 PM »

They would just not run those particular episodes. If you've seen them recently, I guess they do then.

I wonder what Jewish cartoon character the ADL would find acceptable. There's always going to be stylistic exaggerations in a cartoon, especially if its consistently keeping a sort of style with all the characters.

Rugrats shit:

Quote

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL), an organization devoted to fighting anti-Semitism, has taken issue with the depiction of a character in Nickelodeon’s “Rugrats” newspaper comic strip. The comic in question, which ran in newspapers nationwide during the week of Rosh Hashanah--the Jewish New Year--featured a character named “Granpa Boris” in a synagogue reciting “the Mourner’s Kaddish,” a holy Jewish prayer. In a public statement issued this week, the ADL stated “the use of the Mourner’s Kaddish in a jocular fashion demeans the prayer’s solemnity,” and added that the character design of Granpa Boris is “reminiscent of Nazi-era depictions of Jews.” Nickelodeon was quick to agree with ADL’s charges, apologize, and has promised never to run the character or the specific strip in newspapers again. Herb Scannell, president of Nickelodeon, said, “Unfortunately, the creators of the strip made an error in judgment by referencing the Kaddish.” While he won’t be reappearing in newspapers, the short, bald and big-nosed Granpa Boris character is also featured in the “Rugrats” television series and the upcoming animated feature film, “The Rugrats Movie.” However, Nickelodeon has not been asked to change the character in its animated versions.

This Grandpa and Grandma are NOT okay:

If you have seen that latter, then they changed their policy.

OIC. Still a bunch of bullshit.
