desperate housewives (season 1)
the kranks are amazed to discover they are considered pariahs as a result of their decision. luther's co-workers think he has become ebenezer scrooge when he gives all his employees letters that announce his christmas boycott, local stationer aubie is distressed to lose the couple's order for their engraved greeting cards and christmas eve party invitations, the boy scout troop is upset and angered when the kranks refuse to purchase one of their christmas trees to help the scouts make enough money for a camporee, and the police are stunned to discover they won't be buying this year's calendar from them. most vocal in their objections are neighbors vic frohmeyer (dan aykroyd) and walt scheel (m. emmet walsh). vic, who's the unelected leader of the street, organizes a campaign to force the kranks to decorate their home so hemlock street won't lose the coveted award for best decorations. vic has political and bureaucratic connections in chicago. walt doesn't seem to like luther, so his efforts are primarily personal. however, it is revealed that walt's wife bev is suffering from cancer, perhaps dampening his holiday spirits. children picket, led by vic's son spike (erik per sullivan), neighbors constantly call, and christmas carolers try to revive the kranks' holiday spirit by singing on their lawn, which luther stops by freezing his front lawn. even the newspaper gets into the act by publishing a front-page story complete with a photograph of the unlit krank house and states that the kranks' street has lost the prize and won sixth place because of how luther and nora refused to decorate their house. still, luther and nora continue to stand their ground.
