How Murray Saved Christmas

Recently came across the DVD of this special at a Big Lots store, and being into Christmas and obscure films, so I bought it. I watched this thinking it was going to be another run of the mill bland Christmas special, but it wasn't, it was great. It rhymed throughout, much like a Dr. Seuss book, and had some hilarious rhymes.

This special was shown on NBC originally, and it is family friendly. No profanity is used, but there is slapstick violence. The voice cast is great, including Jerry Stiller as Murray and Jason Alexander as the doctor; both of which had starred on Seinfeld. Dennis Haysbert (or the State Farm guy) narrates the tale.

I don't know how I missed this in 2014! The cast is great and the songs are clever. Don't waste you time reading the reviews of the perpetually easily offended unless you want to make fun of them. There is nothing inappropriate for children as some claim and adults will enjoy the puns and clever rhyming dialog. Be sure to pay attention to the names of the stores and signs in the background for added chuckles.

We just rented this show today and found it delightful from beginning to end! It is so clever, funny, creative, and thoroughly entertaining! All the songs are catchy and totally hum-able! The dialogue and rhymes require quick wit and superb timing! The entire voice cast is amazing and great! We usually stick with our fave Christmas shows (like "Rudolph" and "Charlie Brown" and "Grinch") but this Christmas special is worth watching again and again! Jerry Stiller is excellent as Murray - and the entire voice casting is perfect! Highly recommend this fresh, creative, funny show to any adult with a good sense of humor and an open mind for new Christmas shows!

Too political for me - when elves sing about healthcare I am out. Come on suspend reality will ya

Loved this Christmas special!!! All of the actor voices are AMAZING
