Elmo and Patsy are responsible for the most often played Christmas single of all time, “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer.” In 2000 there was an idea in the works, for an animated tv program based on the popular song. Fortunately(not being sarcastic), the idea never made it to the storyboard floor. Here we are 7 years later, and there is a lawsuit against Elmo Shropshire. Elmo and the Fred Rappaport Company, the company that was commissioned to produce the merchandise from the show, never could reach an agreement, so merchandising was halted by Elmo. Well, what did Elmo do, he turned right around and began to sell the merch that was already made for the show. So that’s where we are now. Since Elmo sold merchandise from the failed show, the Fred Rappaport Company is filing a lawsuit. Does this seem kind of odd? It’s like the elves suing Santa.
