ABC Family just played the psychedelic scene!


You know, the one where Jessica (she of the impossible figure - huge boobs and tiny waist) lets down her hair and sings "My World is Beginning Today".

Jessica really has no convictions, BTW - she's spouting the Bergermeister's party line at the beginning; 15 minutes later, she's on Kris' side. Kind of a trampy 'ho, if you ask me.

I think it represents her becoming enlightened against the establishment. She says 'Now I see things as they really are' just before she breaks into song. She saw the light and transformed into a counter-culture hippie spy. She kept her position in the 'establishment' in Sombertown, but delivered illegal messages to Kris. She did not use a traditional conveyance like a motor vehicle, but used the forest animals, how natural/granola of her - another counter-culture reference. Although only a captive of love [for Kris] she caught a case of Stockholm Syndrome [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockholm_syndrome ] AND IT WAS RELEASED 4 YEARS BEFORE THE PATTY HEARST KIDNAPPING!!!

hahaha hooooooly cow. I just now saw it on ABC Family and I feel like I've been transported to another planet. I haven't seen that sequence in decades and had forgotten how strange and trippy it is :D

Have to agree about her proportions, too...no wonder Kris had the hots for her, eh?

Was always a little too cringeworthy for me

Exactly, Id dump her in two minutes, looking that good and then getting all fat. Damn hippies

They may have kept the psychedelic stuff in, but they snipped out bits and pieces in the broadcast tonight. Like the "Rudolph" reference. Gone. Damn channels and their damn commericals.

They really went to town on those pot brownies. Gadzooks, they got big!

Well more power to Kris Kringle--he's not trying to get an anorexic wife!

You guys are acting like Kris Kringle stayed all slim and trim.

The man is allowed to be fat, but the wife needs to stay relatively slim. Haven't you ever seen "According to Jim" or "The King of Queens"?

LOL

You're right. As well as Fred & Wilma, Ralph & Alice, Archie & Edith, Tony & Carmella, Homer & Marge, etc. Hahaha
