Not Enough Shopping Days Left Until Christmas... But Here's One Great Last-Second DVD Gift Idea, And Many Others


This is the last weekend before Christmas -- so it's the last chance, here at TV WORTH WATCHING, for us to trumpet our easy shopping lists of great DVDs, holiday-related and otherwise. Find the dogs with the Santa hats on the home page, click, and shop.

There's still time to have them rush delivered in time for the holiday. (The gifts, not the dogs). And here's my foolproof, last-second, under-$10 recommendation for the perfect DVD gift...

Looking for an inexpensive, guaranteed-to-please treat for all ages? Stock up on this vintage, but still charming, animated delight: The Point, written and featuring music by Harry Nilsson. It's great -- especially but not necessarily for kids -- and Amazon has it on sale for $9.99. Buy it HERE.

Anywhere at all on the shopping lists, when you find something you like, click on BUY NOW. It'll take you to the right place on Amazon, offer a discount, and give us a little stocking-stuffing bump, too.

Also in this holiday home stretch, remember to use Diane Werts' mammoth lists of TV holiday specials, special episodes and movies, all located to the right of her regular FOR BETTER OR WERTS column on the home page. And in her regular blog, you can find a recent entry about online offerings as well.

Remember: If you stay at home and watch TV and shop, you reduce the risk of getting trampled...

David Bianculli

Behind David in the picture is the first TV owned by his father, Virgil Bianculli, a 1946 Raytheon. (The TV, not his father. His father was a 1923 Italian.)

David Bianculli has been a TV critic since 1975, including a 14-year stint at the New York Daily News, and sees no reason to stop now. Currently, he's TV critic for NPR's Fresh Air, occasional substitute host for that show's Terry Gross, and teaches TV and film history at New Jersey's Rowan University. His most recent book is 2009's Dangerously Funny: The Uncensored Story of 'The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour,' and he's at work on another.
