For Better or Werts : TV Worth Watching

YULE TUBE: It's almost here!

TV Worth Watching's epic list of Christmas show airings, that is.

Our detailed yule cavalcade should be ready for posting later this week, if I can wrestle into submission all the hundreds of holiday-themed episodes, movies, specials and cartoons airing over the next six weeks. We'll have dates, times and channels for all, in a handy chronological list you won't want to miss!

Diane Werts has been glued to the tube since she can remember, growing up in a household where the TV came on first thing in the morning and stayed on till bedtime and beyond. She worked for the USA Film Festival, then for The Dallas Morning News writing about everything from Shakespeare to macrame art to rock music (and has the hearing loss to prove it). She moved to New York's Newsday to edit their glossy TV magazine, then returned to writing about television, specializing in its stranger permutations. She's a past president of the Television Critics Association.
