Also S24 of Midsomer which is starting to seem like they're just phoning it in.
Yeah, Mr. H and I have been working our way slowly through the Harry Potters. Not sure why my brain "thinks" that HP constitutes Xmas/Holiday movies, but then again, I put on Die Hard every year at Xmas so I am clearly bonkers.

I was thinking how much I missed Robbie Coltrane and some of the others that are gone...I really really miss Alan Rickman's work, of course; Coltraine (ditto) and Richard Harris...Richard Griffiths passed too, didn't he? (Loved him as the restaurant-owning detective! Um...Pie in the Sky?) and another one or two that I'm forgetting...

sigh.

I agree on MM. They have been phoning it in for some seasons now, and all we get are what, a whopping four whole episodes? Urgh. They did six epis for a while and then, boom, back to four.

(Granted, there's no real comparison here, but I compare that, 4 "whole" episodes per season, at 90 minutes each, to the first IDK-how-many seasons of the old Perry Mason. Over 30 episodes, 39 for season 1, if you want to be precise, 40 minutes each, for the first season; 30 for the second...sheesh.)
