[KyleEl]

I actually watched "Second Star to the Left".

The man who plays Dr. House had such a cute voice.

I don't even remember what happened, but it was a bunch of cartoon animals in Britain helping someone enjoy Christmas. And of course Father Christmas did not look like our Thomas Nast/Haddon Sundblom Santa Claus.

I also saw "Christmas Is Here Again" but was surprised it wasn't either an hour or two hours.

[AntiArbitrator]

I am surprised Person of Interest is at 6 with 10 million viewers. It is one of my favorite shows, but I did not know it was that popular. I am going to look at some of 3sheets previous ratings.
