Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes And I can take or leave it if I please ~The chorus to the love theme from M*A*S*H (one of the greatest franchises of yesteryear) |

the best christmas specials are the short ones and on that note, the garfield christmas special has become underrated too. 3DS Friend Code: 4124-6332-4341 Name: Benji Nintendo Network ID: Benjamillion PSN account ID: benjanime |

Speaking of, fun fact: Eons before he went off on his own and got famous doing shows like Garfield and Friends and Bobby's World, doing animation contracting for The Simpsons, and doing all those Garfield specials as well as that Turok film (that was based more on the original comic book of the 1950's. Today, most of our generation only knows Turok as a character who was on games for the Nintendo 64 but once upon a time, the boomers and Generation X knew him as a comic book character) and to a lesser extent, that stupid Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer film, Phil Roman worked for Chuck Jones. He was one of the animators who worked on The Grinch Original. Neat eh? Suicide is painless

And not to mention Ted "M****f****n' Dr Seuss" Giesel himself involved with the special (but then so did most of the Dr Seuss specials with one exception: See his posthumous release Daisy-Head Maizy for reference) Suicide is painless

Ted Giesel + Chuck Jones + Phil Roman (Years before he made a name for himself) + The voices of Frankenstein's Monster, Natasha Fatale/Rocket J Squirrel/The Wolf Mother on Mowgli's Brothers/Ma Beagle/Pretty much Everybody's Generation, and Tony the Tiger = Ultimate Fan Person Moment Suicide is painless

I actually enjoy Halloween is Grinch Night a tiny bit better than the Christmas special. Go figure. You love this signature.

I don't know where you're getting this "definitive" business from, but I agree the 1966 animated special is the best version of the Grinch. |

"and on that note, the garfield christmas special has become underrated too." I never thought of How the Grinch Stole Christmas or the Garfield special as underrated. "Magic can happen to you."
