A Christmas Story
http://www.fishingworld.com/pdlg/c-story/

to watch this every Christmas as well as Miracle on 34th Street. You can get a taste
here with some of the best quotes, but be sure to catch it this year.
A Very Brady Sequel
http://www.thebradybunch.com/
Admit it—you knew the lyrics to the song in the first film, didn't you?! The house,
the tic-tac-toe format, and those horrible '70s designs and colors at this site will
remind you of the fun and the nonsense of this hit show. It's disgustingly groovy.
Beavis and Butt-Head Do America
http://www.beavis-butthead.com/
This site could also be listed under the heading of "Cult," but most people who can
stand this pair think of them as funny. Enter the contest, click various locations

language at this site.)
