Also: Adult Swim quote about renewal

Adult Swim's The Venture Brothers will give viewers a holiday gift when Cartoon Network airs The Venture Brothers - A Very Venture Christmas on Sunday, December 19th at 11:45 Eastern (10:45 for those of you in the Central Time Zone – the rest of you should be used to doing the math by now). Unlike the rest of the series, this episode runs only 15 minutes and will be the only all-new part of a holiday programming block that will also include holiday-themed episodes of Family Guy, Sealab 2021 and other Adult Swim favorites.

In this new Christmas special, everyone on the Venture Compound is getting into the holiday spirit. Dr. Venture is a bit behind on his shopping but he's excited about hosting his annual Christmas Eve shindig. Brock turns out to have some sentimental Yuletide traditions.

Dean and Hank, who still believe in Santa Claus, accidentally unlock a magical demon who threatens to ruin Dr. Venture's annual Christmas party and murder all his guests. Master Billy Quizboy and Mr. White hit on Triana, Dr. Orpheus' underage daughter. Meanwhile, The Monarch plans the ultimate gift for his paramour, Dr. Girlfriend – the destruction of the entire Venture Compound. It's a wonderful life. Obviously, this takes place before the infamous "Trial of the Monarch" episode of the series, where the super-villain gets railroaded into prison. Specifically, for you continuity geeks out there, it takes place between episode 11, "Past Tense," and episode 12, "Trial of the Monarch."

I like all the old Frosty and Rudolph ones...they make me happy :clap:

I'm getting there dearie, it's just taking a bit of time to go through the schedules of every station and check every show's description to see what is what. Some of them make it easy.
But, it seems like the shows are happening faster than my schedule.

All those great oldies are now out on VHS/DVD, but they will be coming on, buy blank tape is my suggestion.

**Bravo is one of those stations that repeats their shows over and over. If you miss something you really want to see one night, check the schedule, it will probably be on again. If your into it, Inside the Actor's Studio has some great episodes this month. :)--Sepia
