First witness the horror of The Tron Holiday Special:
The good news? This never really happened. It’s just a Funny or Die goof. In fact, I recognize a guy from Saturday Night Live who probably was in PJ’s in 1982. On the other hand the Star Wars Holiday Special happened. Click on the video at your own risk.
Okay, so after that, you are going to need a serious palate cleansing. So let me present to you, JibJab’s send off to the year that was. This time, with puppets.

I sat through the Star Wars Holiday Special, way back when, and still have nightmares about it. Curse you, Aaron, for resurfacing that memory.

I wonder if my parents still have it and if it is worth anything nowadays.
