Damn You NBC!!

There was once a time when you could see It’s A Wonderful Life about 30 times between Thanksgiving and Christmas….but NBC put a stop to all of that!

They went and bought the rights to it and now only show it once a year! Who do they think they are??? Because of them there are millions of people who don’t know about Zuzu’s petals or George lassoing the moon or even the origin of Ernie and Bert! Why can’t they do like TBS and TNT does with A Christmas Story and show it over and over again? As much as I love A Christmas Story it doesn’t hold a candle to It’s A Wonderful Life.

If you can’t already tell It’s A Wonderful Life is one of my all time favorite movies. It’s a heart warming movie, but I am always left wondering a few things. Such as, whatever became of Potter after the movie. Did he remain in competition with Bailey? Was it discovered that he had the money all along? What about Uncle Billy? Did George fire him? Did George ever get back at that teacher’s husband, Mr. Welsh, for stealing on him at the bar? Maybe I’m the only one who thinks about these things.

At any rate, my kids are going to watch It’s A Wonderful Life and A Christmas Story over and over and over again because I own them both on DVD.

    Why do all the actors talk so funny in those movies. There was a different kind of American accent in those days. Weird huh?

    Actually, SNL had a HILARIOUS skit about what happened after everyone at George Bailey’s was drunk. They went and beat Mr. Potter down LOL…
