Has anyone actually ever seen 'A Special Sesame Street Christmas'?

I've never seen it. I hear it wasn't that good, but I'd still love to see it.

I wish they had released it as an extra on the DVD of 'Christmas Eve on Sesame Street'.

A Special Sesame Street Christmas? I don't believe I ever even HEARD of it, what is is supposed to be about?

Tough Pigs gives a detailed description of the obscure special:

Good thing too, because I've never seen it, and unfortunately, the TV Museum doesn't seem to have it.

It was a network TV special that aired on CBS the same year Christmas Eve on Sesame Street debuted. Where as Christmas Eve on Sesame Street became a classic and was played every year (for a while), A Special Sesame Street Christmas never aired again.


It's not supposed to be very good, but I still would love to see it.

I've read that it was actually nominated for an emmy (and lost to Christmas Eve on Sesame Street). If it was worthy of an emmy nomination, then I don't see why it hasn't been rebroadcast (I wonder if a mostly uncut DVD release would be out of the question). I wonder if Sesame Workshop actually owns the rights to this special, or if another company does.

I think I read somewhere that SW doesn't own this, and that's why it has never been re-broadcast or released on home video or DVD. I think it might be owned by CBS.

Okay. They say I haven't posted in several weeks, so I really should respond here.

Yeah. I'd like to see that too. Hopefully, it will be up on You Tube sometime if I can ever get the darn sound working on my computer.

I just sent an e-mail to CBS regarding this. It's a long shot, but it can't hurt.
