Through 2 episodes, so far this has been an excellent documentary series. If you're a fan of Earnhardt, there's not really any new information here, but there is a lot of excellent footage that I hadn't seen before. If you're not a racing fan, and just curious about this racing icon, it's a great watch. So far, it's done an excellent job of showing who he was, both the good and the bad. Even if you're not a fan of auto racing, it's worth a watch if you're interested in American success stories. This was a guy who came from nothing and became an icon in motorsports. NASCAR wishes they had a driver that made people as interested in their series as people were when guys like Earnhardt and Gordon were still in the seat.
I first saw this movie on cable sometime in the '80's as a small child. For reasons that I can't explain, I've always enjoyed it. It probably won't make a lot of Christmas Classics lists, and maybe it's just nostalgia, but I still enjoy it today. The plot is kind of goofy, but that's part of the fun. It deals with an oil exploration company and an operation that threatens to destroy Santa's workshop, no doubt a way to tie in the emerging environmental concerns during the time. Art Carney and Paul Williams are great as well. The special effects are pretty decent for a tv movie of the time. If you haven't seen it and enjoy discovering these '80's gems, it's worth a watch.
