Some of our childhood favorites are those that don’t seem to get their glittering moment under the yearly TV tree anymore. So TV-programming Santa, if you’re reading this, we promise we’ve been good all year (except for maybe that one time we tapped the bumper of our boss’s car – sorry!) so please bring back “Bugs Bunny’s Looney Christmas Tales” and “A Garfield Christmas Special.” Hey, our hearts and choice of music may forever be stuck in the ‘80s but at least our hair is not!
