"Dinosaurs" like Gibbs and others of our generation know this episode is full of holes and technical flaws, but that's the fun of it!

Mimeograph machines that work without special fluid (it normally dries up after months of non-use, let alone 'years') and makes copies using a plain paper "master" (not specialized mimeo masters, that also dried up when past their "best buy" date, yet still produces the normal blue colored copy?!! Or Polaroid film that makes an instantly viewable print (instead of 60-second wait to develop) that doesn't need that stick of goop rolled over it to set the picture (not to mention outdated film seldom made good prints)!! That's just for starters. Many other goofs and flaws but again, that was the fun.

Episode also highlighted difference between the two generations in a pleasant non-confrontational way. Don't get me wrong, couldn't live now without my microwave and laptop (but I still resist/grumble cellphone usage).

Power Down is pure escapism as long as you don't get bogged down in the details.

Typical Hallmark movie and holiday premise. What was most refreshing was recognizing a local Huntsville, UT business standing in for the Inn. What was even better was seeing real snow (as far as the eye can see and not just in the immediate view of camera), real snow accumulation (and not phony blankets of some white material laid down on sidewalks, shrubs and stairsm etc,), real snowfall (not the Hollywood 'snow' flakes descending from above; I mean really, what does southern Cali know about real snow?) and must admit Sweetin is growing better at the adult roles she plays. 4 star movie that got and extra star for filming during winter and not in summer pretending to be winter.

Wonderful holiday twist on the original three men and wee one movie. This one starred three of my favorite Hallmark actors and actress (Margaret Colin) from the original.1987 movie. While I was hoping for some feel-good escapism in the time watching, this movie far exceeded that expectation. Don't often give out 10 stars but the movie earned each one. Terrific comedy with just enough drama mixed in to keep it kinda, sorta, grounded - all in a fun way.

Found myself laughing out loud many, many times. Paul C & Kimberly S are terrific writing partners and they certainly delivered on this one. From the long-haired baby (oops!) to the Nutcracker 'dance' to elf costumer just to name a few.

Glad to see this early in the season and thus have plenty of opportunities to watch it again and again and.... Oh, and that little baby boy wasn't bad either; stole the show a few times!
