Trivia
A Special Sesame Street Christmas (1978) has many things in common with The Star Wars Holiday Special (1978). Both holiday specials originally aired on CBS (and were broadcast exactly three weeks apart), were produced without the input of their original creators, were broadcast only one time each on television, were produced in a variety show-like format, and maintain a cult following.

Quotes
Michael Jackson: [reading out loud] One of the main reasons for seeing ghosts is because you are not keeping yourself busy enough. Your imagination is allowed to run wild.
Oscar The Grouch: Uh, hey fella! What's that book you're reading there? Huh?
Michael Jackson: "Everything You Wanted To Know About Ghosts But Were Afraid To Ask". It's really trash.
Oscar The Grouch: Oh, well, I happen to like trash. I'll tell you what. I'll give you this brand new broken portable TV for it, huh? What do you say?
Michael Jackson: Nevermind. You can have it for gratis.
Oscar The Grouch: Yeah, but can I have it for free, too?
Michael Jackson: That too. Merry Christmas!
Oscar The Grouch: Well, I won't go that far, but thanks, pal!
Michael Jackson: See you later! Bye!
