Why does this not surprise me?

TVWeek reports that the 11th annual A Christmas Story marathon on TBS gave the cable network its best ratings. Ever.
“For the marathon’s entire 24 hours, from Dec. 24 at 8 p.m. to Dec. 25 at 8 p.m., TBS was the top ad-supported cable network among total viewers, adults 18 to 34 and adults 25 to 54.”
This makes so much sense.
A Christmas Story is one of the best Christmas films. One of the best holiday films of any kind, for that matter.
It didn’t have much box-office success when it came out in 1983, but TVWeek explains that Ted Turner rescued it and turned it into a holiday staple.
I can’t wait ‘til my boys are old enough that they go for Ralphie and his family over Rudolph and the island of misfit toys.

Hi Amy ..long time since I have posted. This movie is my favorite of all time. I first seen it in 1983 or 84 on a out of town station and loved it from the start. I have this on DVD and always a favorite in my house. My son started to watch this when he was around 8 and still loves it to this day. We can remember almost every funny line like ” soap poisining”, or “F R A G I L E” . Darrin Mc Gavin was the best. Ha Ha and the Bumpas dogs!!!!!
Happy New Year to all!!! Hope 2008 is the best!!!
