OMG... do you guys remember this wonderful claymation tale from childhood courtsey of the wonderful Rankin and Bass? WHere Santa gets disheartened and decides to call off Christmas..... the show with perhaps two of the most memorable characters of all time "Heat Miser" and "Snow Miser"!?
I absolutely love this show... and I was shocked just now as I was looking and discovered that they have turned this into a LIVE ACTION MOVIE!!! It so comes on TONIGHT (Dec. 11 @ 9p.m. EST on NBC)

Premiered: December 11, 2006
Rating: TV-G
Premise: Live-action version of the holiday favorite, boasting a fine comedic cast led by John Goodman as the not-so-jolly Saint Nick and Delta Burke playing Mrs. Claus, but despite talented performers, it just doesn't measure up to the original. This is not to say this adaptation doesn't amuse; it does, particularly when the Miser Brothers---hotheaded Heat (Harvey Fierstein) and coldhearted Snow (Michael McKean)---appear. Chris Kattan, Ethan Suplee, Eddie Griffin, Carol Kane. Ron Underwood directed.
