Christmas TV
3,465 titles |
Public
Formats: Anything that originally aired on television is eligible to be included this list, e.g.:
Content: Really trying to contain this to just TV titles directly about Christmas or clearly set at Christmastime. Fictional holidays which are obviously designed to be Christmas-esque or Christmas-adjacent without actually being called Christmas (Life Day, Festivus, Yaksmas, Snoggletog, Refrigerator Day, etc.) are included. Titles that feature New Year's Eve, Hannukah, Kwanzaa, etc. without also featuring Christmas -- as well as generic "winter"/"snow"-featuring titles -- are not included.
Completeness:
- TV episodes
- TV specials
- TV movies
- TV shorts
- TV series (if the entire run of the series was Christmas-related)

Completeness:
- This is (perpetually) a work in progress. I've covered episodes of TV shows pretty well but still have a lot of specials and movies to add. If you notice something is missing, feel free to let me know.
- US TV information is generally more readily available than info from other countries (and I'm American so I'm more familiar with it as well), so this list understandably has a US bent. However, I welcome suggestions of titles to add from other countries.
- Obviously I have not watched every item on this list. If you think I've included something in error, please let me know.
- When suggesting additions or deletions, keep in mind that this is ultimately my list, and so I can choose not to implement your suggestion. Please don't take it personally. :)

Unsold TV Pilots
3,097 titles |
Public
Every year, a number of television pilots are filmed -- "test episodes" for potential new shows. Some of them get ordered to series, and those pilot episodes often become episode #1 of the new show. Others, however, are unable to hurdle that barrier and remain unsold -- not picked up as a full television series.
Note that "unsold" does not necessarily equate to "unaired" -- many of the pilots listed here have aired on tv, either as a backdoor pilot (shown as a tv movie, or as an episode of an already-running tv show from which it was intended to spin off) or "burned off" (aired as a tv movie or a one-off episode among the summer reruns, or incorporated into one of several anthology tv series that consisted entirely of rejected pilots). Others have seen the light of day as extra features on DVDs, or straight-to-video releases, or in a few cases were even bumped up to theatrical releases.
I've started moving ones I've seen and/or have (i.e., I know they're at least marginally available) to the top of the list -- so far that's #s 1-402.

Various selective-subject (science fiction, animation, etc.) TV books. Various internet resources - IMDb, TCMDb, TheFutonCritic, etc. etc. etc.
(A work in progress.)
