x40 THE HOBO'S CHRISTMAS (12/7/97)

MOVIE
In this touching made for TV Major Dad movie, Gerald McRaney finds himself discharged from the military for sexual harassment. Still wanting a position of authority, he becomes a deputy in a small mid-western college town. Often made fun of by his younger sister, who calls him "Dewey," he must come to grips with his evil past when his disease-infested hobo father, who he has not seen for 20 years, stops by. After some amusing fights with his wife, McRaney caves in an lets his dad sleep in the backyard. It only takes a few movie minutes before Mr. Hobo engages in some incestual pedophillic activities with his grandkids, but makes up for it by teaching them how to cook out of a garbage can and giving his deputy son a model train set he stole from the kids next door. In the end, they all manage to be happy.
