I've seen so many old Christmas specials and little cartoons. Where are the cute little black shows that used to come on? I've been to TV one and BET. Where are they? I thought since MJ died they'd show the little cartoon he did for Christmas. Nothing! I'd even take Fat Albert Christmas right along now!

I have no idea what you are talking about! I've never seen a "black" Christmas Special! Not that I remember at least.

Fat Albert Christmas special. This is the only "black" special I know of.

You know I don't think I have either, or at least none I remember, which is kind of weird. (I'm exempting Christmas episodes of "black sitcoms." I'm pretty certain "The Cosby Show" or "Fresh Prince" or "Living Single" had Christmas episodes and "Everybody Hates Chris" has a few)

TV One aired a marathon of Chrstmas eps for black shows yesterday from 2pm to 12am for shows like Living Single, Martin, and Eve,


I always wondered why the Cosby Show was never on the TV One schedule

I was going to mention that there has been many Xmas episodes from the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. a couple of days ago, some station aired them all in a marathon

I don't recall any particular black xmas show, or even the MJ shows mentioned in the OP

I don't know how syndication rights work but Cosby is probably pretty expensive to get the rights to.

You know on thinking about it I'd be surprised if there was never a Nat King Cole Christmas special or at least one that had him in a prominent role. His Christmas music is appreciated even by very white, borderline racist, people I've known. However I don't find one.

Luther Vandross apparently had a Christmas special in 1996 titled "This is Christmas." John Grin's Christmas Carol was an African-American version of the Scrooge story with Robert Guillaume. (Although this point they've done about every variant on Scrooge possible except maybe Navajo and Hindu. They have done Jewish, Joel Fleischman was the Jewish kermudgeon who learned the real meaning of Yom Kippur in a Northern Exposure episode) Although not a special The Preacher's Wife is based on a classic Christmas film.
