I have never watched A Christmas Story.
I have never read Where the Wild Things Are.
I have never, ever heard of Land of the Giants.
The latter, in particular — did people really watch crap like that in the 1960s? And think it was good?
Though should I call it “crap,” if I’ve never seen it? But based on the Wikipedia article, it sounds, well, crappy. Or at the very least, insultingly stupid.
But isn’t that par for the course with Irwin Allen television?

Never seen A Christmas Story? That’s what Rachel bought me for Christmas last year. My favorite seasonal movie EVAR.
You’re not missing much by not having seen Land of the Giants unless you’re really fond of Irwin’s shows. 🙂
