(Music from the last
seasons of the Original Run of American Gladiators play Speedy shot of James
Faraci riding with Santa on his sleigh, throwing snowballs, singing Christmas
Carols with The Muppets, baking cookies, Waxing Rudolph’s red nose to add to the
brightness and pal around with Frosty before fading away to see a picture of
the North Pole Santa Workshop appears in the background as Jesus Christ, Santa
Claus and Santa Christ appear in the foreground as all three stand as a
Christmas Tree land over them and James Faraci stands alongside the Christmas
tree with a smile on his face and in Holiday text the words of The Last Of The
Americans stand by his side as Jingling Bells and snow falls in the intro
before cutting to a shot of stars whizzing past before winding up on a faraway
planet with a red and green glowing atmosphere and in a title under the planet
is the words “The Planet Blixbixbricabrac” before cutting to the interior of a
hall filled with all sorts of alien life)

For the 95% of the people here in the states who missed the music of the late 1990’s and Early 2000’s there was a flood of pop music and one band that were underdogs who clawed tooth and nail to be as recognized as equals was a pop group known as the S Club 7. Their music was catchy and looking back they deserved to top the charts when Backstreet, Britney and NSYNC were topping the Billboard Charts plus the members had talent. There was Tina Barrett the best dancer and in my opinion, was one of the best vocalists in the band. Next up Hannah Spearitt she was the little spunky one that had boys becoming men and men fighting for her. Then there was Rachel Stevens the fashion plate and the second most used female vocalist in the band. Finally, the most used vocalist in the female equation of the band Jo O’Meara. She was the one who was tough as nails if you got on her bad side but there were moments where her sillier nature shined through. On the male side of the equation we have Bradley McIntosh basically the goofball and lovable lunkhead of the group and he was the primary male vocalist for the band. Next on the male side is Paul Cattermole he’s the guy that the ladies flocked to get away from but he’s a decent singer and his footwork is fine and the final member of the group Jon Lee he’s the guy that you think would attract the ladies and the guys if he didn’t act so stupid at times, though after the band split he came out and that’s fine all hope and positive power to him. While internationally they were successful musically, State side they couldn’t catch a break even if they had cut proof gloves to grab the shards. While the TV Series they did lasted four seasons the albums sold about as much as Brian Austin Green’s album. In 2003 the S Club 7 called it quits. But not before reaching number 10 on the Pop Singles charts here in a Pre-9/11 Stateside with “Never Had A Dream Come True”. Why am I giving you all this backstory? (Cut to James physically)

While like a certain more infamous special this one does have little about the holiday. Unlike the infamous special I found this special really entertaining. The acting is great, the music while full of 2000 pop is quite enjoyable, the story has heart and while the video quality is equal to that of a hand-held camcorder I can say without irony, snark or any of the usual Internet Reviewer tropes that this special is better than everyone who gives this special and the band the little to no recognition.

Following the end of their second season as the band decides to hit the road and hope for the best they get towed back to the city of Angels as apparently their car broke down and the others blamed Bradley for it. Bradley decided to join a boyband for extra money. That rubbed Paul the wrong way forcing Bradley to leave S Club 7. They held auditions and Rachel fell head over heels for a fellow while working in a restaurant and she nearly left the band until he’s discovered to be a charlatan and married. Paul and Bradley make up and the band competes in a battle of the bands winning the necessary cash to fix the car. “Artistic Differences” was okay and I liked the story and how everything ended well for the band.

Relax, we’ve all made decisions that came back to bite us on the tail and in mine and Taylor’s case it’s not a pun.

Hey there, So James told me you’re working on making it as a writer or an entertainer. You know I’ve been thinking, we need another writer on the staff and if you have any characters to add to our cavalcade they’d be a welcomed addition. We start production soon, let me know if you are interested.

But we did, and I must admit being here has been fun! The Wonder Woman Review in which I was an Amazon and Dr. Poison was enjoyable. Then there was Sister Kimberly of St. Zordon’s Basilica. Reminded me of a few times when I was in school.

The Nostalgia Kid:
How I was able to pull off my character in the Power Rangers Review was interesting. I know NOTHING about the Power Rangers, so James had to basically spoon feed me. Though seeing James beat the living daylights out of Michael Myers and then see James drop kick Michael Myers into a wood chipper was kind of cathartic in comparison to my review.

Well seeing you reenact the infamous “Ace Ventura Crying Game” moment was HILARIOUS!

We kind of had that in mind to calm James down but we were distracted.

The Nostalgia Kid:
Yeah, I know. Trust me, there is a reason I’m a straight reviewer with the odd sketch in it. Does James have any reason to keep this storyline going? I told him it wasn’t gonna be easy for him or me, but it will happen. Why is James doing this? How old is he, in the mid 20’s?

The lady dressed in gothic gear with the hipster and their kid is The Maven Of The Eventide, Paw and the kid’s name Gray. The Bald guy in black is The Cinema Snob. The Tall guy with the black hair and goatee is Phelous and he’s with Obscurus Lupa. That’s Chris T. Ian The Captivating Christian next to The Media Whiz. A lot of them are from other sites. It wouldn’t hurt to get to know who they are by asking

So Maria, what is your show about?

The title is obvious. “Life As A Mermaid” and it’s about this mermaid, her sister, her friends and all the misadventures as they try to traverse the modern world and I play one of The mermaid’s reluctant friends.

After every setback he’s been through this year, it’s a miracle he’s still standing and not in the funny farm. (Olivia turns to see James and Julia laughing together and seeing they’re under the mistletoe before cutting to Olivia) And I think 2018 for the two of them will be… FANTASTIC! (Cut to James as he taps his bottle of Martinelli’s)

For many of us 2017 was one of our better years. For many myself included it was insanely bad. There were times when many of us felt we weren’t gonna make it, but the proof is in the human spirit. It can endure and survive the most trying of hardships. So, let us today celebrate the endurance of the human spirit. Let us celebrate the good of the year. (Cut to James)

So today I ask that you make this resolution for 2018. To make 2018 a year of good! A year where we not only celebrate good but we all do something good no matter how small the amount of good we do make it count. And for some who think that 2018 will be the end, let me say this if this to be our end then let us celebrate that end by reminding ourselves that good will eventually return. To 2018: The Year of Good! (Cut to the crowd as they raise their bottles or glasses and say either “To 2018” or “To The Year Of Good” before cutting to James as he raises his bottle to say “To The Year of Good” before cutting to black.)
