Ally McBeal used to have some wonderful Christmas episodes.

Wings had a good one where Fay and Helen are planning a Christmas party for kids in the airport. Meanwhile, Antonio gets together with Lowell's ex-wife Bunny.

always loved the four Happy Days Christmas episodes, Bob Newhart's, the Mork & Mindy one from the 1st season, WKRP in Cincinnati, the Simpsons...

Roseanne - Home For The Holidays (1996 Christmas episode)
The Fresh Prince of Belair - Christmas Show (1991 Christmas episode)
Home Improvement - 1991 and 1998 Chritmas episode

Almost all of classic sitcoms of the 50s, 60s, and 70s had great Christmas eps.

Boy Meets World-A Very Topanga Christmas, Easy Street, and Santas Little Helpers

Wings-All the Christmas Episodes

Who's the Boss?-The Christmas Card

I always liked two Married with Children Christmas episodes, the one where the skydiving Santa was supposed to land (with parachute) at the mall but landed (sans parachute) in the Bundys' backyard, and the two-parter with Sam Kinison as Al's guardian angel ("You know, I'm supposed to provide you with a reason to live, but... I just can't think of one darn reason!" or something to that effect).

Also That 70s Show, An Eric Forman Christmas. ("We come bearing gifts of gold, frankincense, and Led Zeppelin IV" and "Kelso, I swear if you say space Santa, I will kick you in the head!" are two lines that just deserve to be quotable more than one month out of the year.)

Finally, can't forget the Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire. How many shows can say their pilot stands up favorably against, and is probably responsible for, 350+ quality and humorous episodes, especially since it's a Christmas ep? Didn't think so.

Do I think too much of series that aired on Fox? Probably. Am I worried? No. Merry Christmas, everyone!

My very favourite is Guess Who's Coming to Christmas - Happy Days (http://www.sitcomsonline.com/boards/forumdisplay.php?f=12). For straight LOL comedy nothing beats the Married with Children (http://www.sitcomsonline.com/boards/forumdisplay.php?f=84) episodes. On the dark side, 70s crime dramas How Cruel the Frost, How Bright the Stars - Kojak (http://www.sitcomsonline.com/boards/forumdisplay.php?f=575) and Little Girl Lost - Starsky & Hutch (http://www.sitcomsonline.com/boards/forumdisplay.php?f=556).

Eight Is Enough - The two-parter abt the man (Will Geer) who stole the Xmas gifts...also Tommy was dealing with the loss of his mother since it was their first Xmas without their mother (due to the death of Diana Hyland). Very emotional ending. I love it.

Waltons - A day of infamy...Mary Ellen is dealing with the question of whether her husband Curt is alive or dead since he was at Pearl Harbor when the Japanese attacked. It's Xmas time and the family is trying to deal with the planning of Xmas while wondering whether Curt is ok or not. Sad to say, his character was in fact killed at Pearl Harbor.

NewsRadio (Season 2) - "Xmas Story" - For Christmas, Jimmy buys Matthew a collection of Fibber McGee and Molly Cassettes and buys the rest of the staff cars. Meanwhile, Bill thinks the lobby Santa is going to kill him.

"WKRP in Cinncinati"-Bah, Humbug
"MASH"-Dear Dad
"The Beverly Hillbillies"-Christmas at the Clampetts

My favorite is the Dick Van Dyke show's Christmas episode, where the whole cast performs in an episode of the "Alan Brady show."

I remember watching that one on Nick at Nite one year, early Christmas morning/late Christmas eve, too excited to sleep... It was awesome. ;)

"All in the Family"-Christmas day at the Bunkers (I think that's the name-it's the one where Henry Jefferson dresses as Santa Claus)

"All in the Family"-The Draft Dodger

Happy Days - "Guess Who's Coming to Christmas"
Mary Tyler Moore Show - "Christmas and the Hard Luck Kid"
Wonder Years - "Christmas"
American Dreams - "Silent Night" and "Tidings of Comfort and Joy"
Bob Newhart Show - "His Busiest Season" and "I'm Dreaming of a Slight Christmas"
Dick Van Dyke Show - "The Alan Brady Show Presents"
Bewitched - "Vision of Sugar Plums"
Hazel - "Hazel's Christmas Shopping"

The Simpsons
Sanford & Son

The First episode of Simpsons.....and the Boy Meets World episode where Eric plays Santa

"Happy Days": The two I like best are 'Guess Who's Coming to Christmas'
(1974) and 'Christmas Time' (1978). "Mork and Mindy": the 1978 episode, which was their only one. "Married...with Children": 1987, 'It's a Bunydful Life,' and 1996.
'M*A*S*H': the 1972 and 1980 shows are the best.

FRIENDS>>>hands down TOW Holiday Armadillo.... that costume and Matthew Perry as Santa ...and then Joey as Superman....
W and G Jingle Balls... Karen dressed as a fetish Santa and Will is dating a dancer from the Nutcracker...

The Golden Girls: Twas the Nightmare Before Christmas, and Have yourself a Very Little Merry Christmas.

That '70's Show: An Eric Forman Christmas,The Best Christmas Ever, Christmas and Winter.

Mama's Family: Santa Mama

The Simpsons: I liked a few episodes of the Christmas episodes of The Simpsons.

Mister Ed: Ed's Christmas Story

I like almost about all of The Christmas episodes. My favorites are The Golden Girls: two holidays and That '70's Show: An Eric Forman Christmas, The Best Christmas, and Winter are my three favorite Christmas episodes. I like it when Kelso was on the Rudolph cartoon television.
I liked it on The Golden Girls when Blanche brought home a Santa from the mall.

Hmm, I like all of the Xmas All in the Family episodes, but my favorite probably is "The Draft Dodger."

I like ALF's Special Christmas. Where he is mistaken for a stuffed toy & taken to the orphanage. One of the best ALF episodes made.

Wings-All the Christmas Episodes

Same here, especially 'A Terminal Christmas', where they all show up at Fay's house. I love the scene where they're having 'Christmas dinner'.

Frasier--I don't know the titles but I think it's the 1st Christmas episode they did where Frasier & Niles had to go to the mall for Frederick's gifts. And the episode where Frasier & Martin have a big fight and Frasier ends up at a diner. And the third is one that I think is called "Perspectives of Christmas"(?) where they're all telling their stories to the masseuse.

My favorite is from Big Brother Jake (1990-1994). Jake and the gang were suppose to spend Christmas on a ship, but they got sick and had to stay home. All of their presents were sent to the ship ahead of time so one of Jake's friends, Gary, had to buy them gifts at a gas station. They got stuff like straws and napkins. :lol:

FRIENDS>>>hands down TOW Holiday Armadillo.... that costume and Matthew Perry as Santa ...and then Joey as Superman....


One of my all-time favorites also!!!

Dennis the Menace - the famous closet episode at the end Dennis sings Silent Night.

I Love Lucy - I think it was the only in color I Love Lucy ever shot

Happy Day's

Dennis the Menace - the famous closet episode at the end Dennis sings Silent Night.

I Love Lucy - I think it was the only in color I Love Lucy ever shot
no, that ILL episode wasn't shot in color, because I remember seeing it YEARS ago, when CBS showed it for the first time since its original broadcast.

Sometime over the years, though, it's been colorized.

I'd have to say:

Mary Tyler Moore: "Christmas and the Hard-Luck Kid," "Not a Christmas Story"
Wings: "Happy Holidays," "Twas the Heist Before Christmas"
Murphy Brown: "Murphy's Pony," "From the Terrace"
The Golden Girls: "Have Yourself a Very Little Christmas," "Twas the Nightmare Before Christmas."
The Nanny:: "Christmas Episode," "The Channukah Story."

I think that the first season Charles In Charge Christmas episode "Home For The Hoidays" would have to be my favorite Christmas episode.

probably either "Requiem" or "A Spirted Christmas" from Who's the Boss. the Boy Meets World Christmas episode was good too.
