A Christmas Dream (tv special 1984)
It was a golden age of prime time network television. A-Team, Webster, and dozens of new shows were bringing in the viewers. In the tradition of TV specials NBC made A Christmas Dream, a loose narrative upon which to hang celebrity appearances, ice skating, ventriloquism, music, magic, and when you’re lulled in- a healthy dose of dogma.
The two featured stars, Emmanuel Lewis and Mr. T, were both on shows taking boasting huge ratings.
Emmanuel Lewis plays latch-key kid and humbug “Johnny.”
Mr. T plays an untitled character, credited as Santa, who strives to bring the joy and true meaning of Christmas to Johnny.
The special is hard to come by, excepting posts by web-archivists
