It’s the Christmas eve tradition that may not be true to its name. Friends and family gather together on Christmas eve in Italian households to have this large meal. And it was recently featured on The Bear, the series about the trials and tribulations of restaurant life. We’re exploring the history and origins of the Feast of the Seven Fishes.

Join us as we venture through the tunnels under Santa’s workshop to uncover Jim Henson’s first ever TV holiday special, presented by The Ed Sullivan Show and featuring the first Muppet performances by Richard Hunt, Fran Brill, Marilyn Sokol, and John Lovelady, as well as the first appearances of Thog and a familiar-looking Frackle who’d later be reworked into the Great Gonzo.

Title: Christmas at Thompson Hall: A Christmas Story by Anthony Trollope, Part 2 of 4
What’s up, dudes? Did you know there are Christmas references in “Tron,” one of the most ‘80s things ever? Funny or Die even did a promo for a faux holiday special! I’ve got Scott Leopold from Holly Jolly X’masu and Robert Nicholas from Behind the Bells to talk about this 1982 cult classic!
Arcade owner and programmer Kevin Flynn is a former employee of the software corporation ENCOM. Flynn has been trying to hack into ENCOM’s mainframe computer to find evidence that ENCOM’s senior executive Ed Dillinger stole five video games he created. Unfortunately, Dillinger’s supercomputer Master Control Program constantly foils Flynn’s efforts and dictates and controls most of the computer systems. One night, Flynn’s former girlfriend Lora Baines and ace computer programmer Alan Bradley help Flynn break into ENCOM to shut down the MCP with Alan’s security program Tron. While at Lora’s ENCOM work station, the MCP uses Lora’s matter transmission laser on Flynn. It digitizes him and transports him into the computer. Flynn finds himself in an electronic world ruled by the MCP and his evil chief henchman Sark. There low-level computer programs are the alter egos of their creators and are forced to compete in gladiatorial games. Flynn, as a User, is capable of fantastic feats within the computer world. With help from Tron, a heroic and fearless security program and his lover, Yori, Flynn sets out destroy the MCP and help Tron liberate the system from the MCP’s control. Destroying the MCP is Flynn’s only way of returning to the real world.
Oh, and let’s not forget Don Deluise, Burt Reynolds, and Santa! Merry Cyber-Christmas, Master Control Program!
