THE TV UNIVERSE AS WINTER WONDERLAND
TVSquad.com ran a contest to celebrate Festivus, asking its readers to rewrite a Christmas song to reflect our Television obsessions.
Click here if you want to read the winning entry by Liz:
I entered the contest as well, and the song reflects my "big tent" view of Toobworld.
I don't want my entry to die a lonely death in the comments section of the contest post. So to give it some semblance of immortality, I'd like to now present "Living In The TV Universe" (sung to the tune of "Winter Wonderland"):

Jeannie's blinking after Fonzie flirts
Sgt. Friday's looking just for the facts
And Kirk beams down expendable "red-shirts".
