"The New York Times called it "the television industry's first experiment in nonprogramming." It was a surrealist's joke, a postmodernist's dream ? the television, literally, as the family hearth ? and an immediate success. The Yule Log became a TV mainstay in New York that regularly won its time slot; "

Happy Holidays!
And yes, i had it on this morning...

In the
(San Francisco) Bay Area we've had the TV Yule log since the early 80's, thanks to local media mogul Jim Gabbert. I wonder if it's a national or even international phenomenon, considering the simplicity and obviousness of the idea. . .
On my new 19" flat-screen it looks just like a fireplace-in-a-cabinet !
