Star Wars Holiday Special Tops List of Worst Christmas Movies & TV Shows in New Study

A
new
study
has
given
the



The
Star
Wars
Holiday
Special
the
unfortunate
honor
of
being
named
as
the
most “boring”
of
all
Christmas
movies,
TV
shows,
and
specials.
Conducted
by
Uswitch,
the
study
analyzed
IMDb
reviews
for
negative
phrases
to
reveal
which
titles
people
apparently
liked
the
least.
Perhaps
it’s
not
much
of
a
shock
to
franchise
fans,
but
at
the
top
of
the
list
was
the

Star
Wars
Holiday
Special.

“We’ve
all
heard
of
the
epic
multimedia
franchise



Star
Wars
that
has
flooded
our
screens
from
1977
to
the
present
day,”
the
study
reads. “With
the
first
spin-off
show,

Star
Wars
Holiday
Special,
joining
the
franchise
shortly
after
in
1978,
we
found
that
the
fans
were
left
nothing
but
disappointed
as
it
ranks
at
the
top
of
our
list.
Over
&#8531
of
the
show’s
reviews
included
negative
phrases
also
coupled
with
an
embarrassing
IMDB
score
of
just
2.2/10.”

Going
down
the
rest
of
the
list
making
up
the
top
ten,



Grumpy
Cat’s
Worst
Christmas
Ever
falls
into
the
No.
2
spot
with
its
bad
reviews
cited.

The
Santa
Clause
3
comes
up
at
No.
3,
named
as
the
least
favorite
Christmas
sequel
ever.
In
order,
the
rest
of
the
top
15
are

Deck
the
Halls,

Love
the
Coopers,

The
Perfect
Holiday,

Mixed
Nuts,

Surviving
Christmas,

A
Christmas
Prince,

A
Very
Murray
Christmas,

The
Nutcracker
in
3D,

Christmas
with
the
Kranks,

Four
Christmases,

Home
Alone
3,
and

Fred
Claus.

“With
so
many
platforms
constantly
producing
new
content,
it
can
be
hard
to
decide
what’s
going
to
be
worth
your
time
and

what’s
best
to
avoid,”
says
Max
Beckett
of
Uswitch,
explaining
the
service
his
company
provides. “We
now
spend
almost
half
of
our
lives
in
front
of
a
screen,
and
as
much
as
21
hours
a
week
consuming
television.
Therefore
it
can
be
useful
to
look
at
IMDb
ratings
to
determine
which
TV
shows
and
movies
aren’t
worth
tuning
into
to
avoid
disappointment.
As
streaming
services
become
more
accessible,
the
choice
of
content
is
growing.
Ustream
is
our
onsite
tool
that
helps
film
fanatics
and
series
lovers
plan
out
their
viewing
calendar
and
understand
which
platforms
are
needed,
or
not
needed
which
could
save
you
money.”

A
variety
of
factors
were
included
in
the
Most
Boring
TV
Shows
and
Movies
study.
The
most
boring
TV
shows
were
calculated
by
collecting
IMDb
reviews
for
each
film/TV
show/Christmas
special.
These
reviews
were
then
analyzed
for
keywords
including
boring,
disappointing,
waste
of
time,
predictable,
worst,
and
mediocre.
If
a
review
contained
one
of
these
keywords,
it
was
categorized
as
a ‘boring
review’.
The
percentage
of
boring
reviews
was
then
calculated
by
dividing
the
number
of
boring
reviews
by
the
total
number
of
reviews
collected.
Movies
with
a
higher
percentage
were
classed
as
more
boring
than
those
with
a
lower
percentage.

It’s
always
worth
noting
that
the
reviewers
don’t
always
get
it
right,
and
there
will
be
fans
who
may
disagree
with
seeing
some
of
the
entries
on
this
list.
