I’m not suggesting we turn off old Rudolph here, but which holiday TV show or movie would you turn off at your next holiday get-together? The Charlie Brown special? That very special Christmas episode of Scrubs? Fox News?
Drop us a line in comments and we’ll give away one sexy TV-B-Gone to a lucky winner. I, personally, would turn off all the damn holiday Simpsons episodes they run in syndication this and next week. We’ll close voting on Wednesday at noon Eastern.
I would fly back to the UK just so i could turn off the queens speech.
’surviving christmas’ or ‘all i want for christmas’, then the TV goes out the window..
Any celebrity holiday special, man do I hate those things.
I vote to close ‘Simpsons’
Rudolph’s Shiny New Year or anything that originally appeared on the Lifetime channel
Anything with Pat Boone
I’ll be turning off the “Heroes: Holiday Special”. You know, the one where Arthur Petrelli, unveils his plan for world domination by taking all the good little heroes’ toys away. Hiro has to go back in time to Christmas past and save the day and they all live happily ever after. Yuck!
Here in the UK, we have a ‘tradition’ of watching the Queen’s speech every Christmas day at 3pm. But it’s not just on one terrestrial channel, oh no. It’s on TWO of the FIVE non-digital/cable channels at the same time. I would love to see my family’s faces if I could “be-gone” the old biddy just as she starts droning on about what a great/terrible year it has been.

ON: Pee Wee’s X-mas Special
OFF: The Passion of the Christ
Anything preceded by the words “A Very Special…”
I’m looking at you, Lifetime Channel.
I will use the awesome TV-B-Gone to turn off (and back on, and off again) any Christmas special I see; making everyone look around and say WTF! It’ll bring oh so much holiday cheer (at least to those in on the joke!)
anything and everything. the batteries will be worn out by the end of the night. i will go on a TV hunt, tape the tv-b-gone to one side of a set of binoculars to extend the range and use the other side as a sight. no TV will be safe from me, and no kiss saves x-mass for peter griffin.
Elf Bowling. The absolute worst Xmas movie ever made.
any movie with a kid named zuzu!
I may catch a lot of slack for this, but, “It’s a Wonderful Life”. I know it’s a classic, but how many times can a person watch this and actually get that same warm and fuzzy feeling. Enough already!

They probably aren’t showing this on TV, but if they were, I’d definitely turn off Surviving Christmas (the movie) with Ben Affleck.
Those new Apple Holiday commercials…
;)
Im turning them all off. I do not understand why they are on at 8pm when kids need to go to sleep early for school. All about the $ and not the kids.
Go Santa
Christmas Story
I would turn off the TV everytime I see an Extenze infomercial, and then proceed to hurl my tv out the window.
I will shut off all news because of the depressing aspect of all of them
Xmas shrek, just dont like shrek that much
I would zap any TV showing that social disease known as professional wrestling, oh and South Park of course.
I will turn off anything with the words “Love”, “New York,” or “Flava Flav” off in a heartbeat. That stuff is just pollution. Rudolph I will watch though. South Park Christmas special–maybe a return of Mr. Hanky–will have a reserved space on my dvr for a while to come.
The most depressing Christmas Special ever produced.
Neil Diamond: The Christmas Special (1993)

If I ever have to see it again….I’ll commit suicide….it’s THAT bad.
I avoid the Brady Xmas movie at ALL costs
