Yogi's First Christmas (1980)
Great Yogi / Christmas Show
So nice to see Yogi again - & Boo Boo, Augie and his dad Daddy Doggy, Huckleberry Hound, Snagglepuss, and Ranger Smith.
Yogi & Boo Boo are hibernating until April which makes Ranger Smith very happy at the Jellystone Park / Lodge. The manager of it is Mr. Dingwell & he's anticipating the arrival of the owner, Mrs. Sophie Throckmorton & her nephew Snidely. She wants to sell it due to some strange going ons last season during Christmas Carnival Week. Herman the Hermit hates Christmas & will do whatever it takes to shut down the lodge. Everyone's singing wakes Yogi & Boo Boo up & since they usually sleep through Christmas, they don't want to miss this one - it's their 1st Christmas (hence the name.) Yogi & Boo Boo save Mrs. T. & her bratty nephew from an avalanche, which was caused by Herman. Herman keeps doing nasty stuff & each time Yogi's the hero & gets promotions on top of promotions. Ranger Smith wants to put Yogi back in his cave / St. Louis Zoo! Cindi's awake too - she's a female bear who likes Yogi. Snidely keeps losing contests that they have, gets mad & runs away to Herman's hut. They bond since they both don't like Christmas & team up to try & ruin everything. Mrs. T. decides not to sell but rather to bring orphans up to the lodge throughout the year & donate it as an Orphanage Getaway & promotes Yogi to Christmas Carnival Director.
What a good, fun holiday classic for the kid in all of us.
It's Magic, Charlie Brown (1981)
Good C.B. fun
Snoopy gets a magic book at the library & puts on a magic show. He's, "The Great Houndini." Some of his tricks work and some don't. He cuts up Linus' blanket & it should "magically" go back together, but it doesn't. Then he makes Charlie Brown invisible and can't change him back. The invisible C.B. screws with Lucy & actually kicks the football. Lucy tells Snoopy to make C.B. reappear. Somehow Snoopy gets "magical powers" to bring C.B. back & Lucy says he may not have kicked the ball - no one else saw it. Snoopy levitates Lucy & leaves her up there.
Good C.B. fun for all ages. A must see.
Fish Police (1992)
Wish it would have lasted longer
I thought this was a good series, unfortunately not lasting long. The cast was great. Some Spoilers Ahead The 1st episode = The Shell Game - it's Fish City & Inspector Gil (John Ritter) is investigating the murder of Clams Casino. Clams' girlfriend Angel (JoBeth) comes to i.d. body. She used to work for Gil and now sings in the casino. Gil likes a waitress Pearl (Megan). Angel's prints are all over the murder weapon(s) but Gil thinks she's innocent. Gil figures out it's Mrs. Casino & overhears her talking with Calamari (Hector) who previously told her that Clams was seeing Angel in hopes she would kill him. There are many sexual innuendos that would go over the heads of (most) children. Still & all it was very good & worth 23 minutes of my time.
Sport Goofy in Soccermania (1987)
Good for adults (and kids!)
MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS Huey, Duey, & Louie ask Uncle Scrooge McDuck to buy them a $1.49 trophy. He gives them an old one. The curator of Duckburg Museum sees it and says it's worth millions. The boys tell Scrooge if he wants it back, he'll have to sponsor their team = the Greenbacks. They all go to Sport Goofy's Sporting Store to get a soccer ball. Scrooge sees that Goofy's good at soccer and hires him to coach the team. The (crooked) Beagle Boys form their own team and cheat to try and win the trophy at the soccer tournament. The Beagle's kidnap Goofy on the big day but Goofy escapes and gets there by half-time with them losing 10 - 0. Goofy single-handedly ties the score up and then wins it - with 73,000 fans watching. Uncle Scrooge gets the Beagle Boys arrested. This was truly (as usual) a good Disney show.
Rated 8 out of 10.
Golden Anniversary of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1987)
Wish it was on again
This show was just excellent. All of the trivia in it was amazing. The Dwarfs want to retire and Dick Van Dyke tries to talk them out of it by telling them interesting facts about the 1937 movie and a look at deleted scenes and songs from the film. Of course, they don't retire. Good show. Wish it was on TV again.
Yogi Bear and the Magical Flight of the Spruce Goose (1987)
Good movie for kids of all ages
Yogi Bear & his Holiday Jolliday Tours, takes himself, Boo Boo, Quick Draw McGraw, Augie Dogie & his dad Doggie, Snagglepuss, & Huckleberry Hound to Long Beach, CA to see the Spruce Goose - the largest plane ever built, of wood, by Howard Hughes. Yogi's always getting lost & takes them to an, "Off Limits," part of the plane & it closes & they can't get out. Yogi presses all the buttons on the control panel. The plane starts up & leaves the hanger & Yogi thinks it's all part if the show, until he has to fly it - it's a magical plane. Meanwhile, two aliens, Firkin & Merkin come to invade Earth & are scared when they see the Spruce Goose & leave to another part of our planet. Animals in the South Pole are trapped & can't get to food so Yogi takes the gang & the Goose there to help. They discover Bernice - she was trapped in the cargo area - she's a mean tomboy. They save the animals. Then, an ocean liner's adrift with animals aboard and their poachers abandoned them. They go to save them too just as the aliens also come & once more are scared away by the Goose. Quick Draw changes into his alter hero; El Cabong - to help. Yogi takes the animals to an island but someone's on it... Dread Baron & his sidekick Mumbly. They've been marooned there since Dread crashed his plane. They want off the island but Yogi & gang don't trust him. He promises to reform - hah! They take him onto the Goose but Dread traps them to go to the island of Moolah Moolah. On Moolah there's a statue that resembles Dread & the natives now worship him. He has them load lots & lots of gold onto the Goose. A volcano erupts & they must leave. Once up in the air they must throw the gold out because the plane's too heavy - Dread & Mumbley follow the gold - & now the natives worship Mumbley. Yogi somehow ends up back in Long Beach (remember the Goose is magical). Bernice is reunited with her mother & Yogi takes the gang back to Jellystone Park. Cute movie for kids of any age.
A Disney Channel Christmas!!!! (1983)

As usual, this is yet another must see Disney movie / special, with many of the Disney characters. *** POSSIBLE SPOILER *** The fight scene w/ Donald Duck & Chip and Dale is great. So go out & rent this one for yourself (or the kids!)
