I thought to do a list of live-action shows that have featured one-off animated episodes.

This doesn't count shows that consisted of a live cast with an animated character, like "Son of Zorn".



- The final episode of HBO's "Tales from the Crypt", 'The Third Pig', was an animated horror version of The Three Little Pigs.

- The CW's "Supernatural" featured an animated crossover with Scooby-Doo called 'Scoobynatural'.

Amazing Stories - 'Family Dog' (Was even spun off into a very short lived series)

Holliston - 'Blobby' (Season 2)

Love American Style

Mister Ed had "Moko" which was supposed to spin off into its own series, but didn't.

"The Nanny" had an animated christmas special called "Oy to the World" (season 3, episode 14).

Tonight's episode of Life in Pieces had an animated piece/segment. Not the whole episode though, the part where Matt and Colleen are explaining her infertility to Sophia.

Hot in Cleveland did an animated episode

Even though SpongeBob is an animated show, it has had some live action episodes.

Community first had a stop motion Christmas episode in season two, and then in season five it had an old school animated episode made to look like an episode of "G.I. Joe."

The Simpsons also had some of these as well.

Home Improvement did an animated piece for one of their Thanksgiving episodes. Not the whole episode though.

It was recently announced that Pop's "One Day at a Time" is getting a stand-alone animated special.

I loved that episode.

Cosby from the late-90s had an animated episode. I think it was inspired by I Spy.

The Simpsons also had some of these as well.

The Simpsons had animated episodes? I didn't know that. :wave:

Oops. I just realized that was an old post of mine and didn’t know any better.:wave:

years ago LOVE AMERICAN STYLE had a segment that was the pilot for an animated series called WAIT TILL YOUR FATHER GETS HOME.

There was actually a live action opening sequence for The Simpsons in a Season 17 episode of the show:

There is that episode of Two and a Half Men where it is explained what happened to Charlie in Paris.

Since he left the show they had to use a cartoon. But that was for only a small part of the episode.

Home Improvement did an animated piece for one of their Thanksgiving episodes. Not the whole episode though.

It was in the "The Wood, The Bad, and the Hungry" episode.

Thanks. At the time of that post, I forgot what the episode was.

Instead of one episode, the 4th season of the CBS All Access/Paramount+ series “No Activity” will be animated.

Not part of the series run, but we did see animated versions of:

Lost in Space (ABC Superstar Movie)
Tabitha and Adam (ABC Superstar Movie)
Jeannie
The Brady Kids
The Partridge Family 2200 AD
Gilligan's Island/Planet
Star Trek
The New Adventures of Batman
The Addams Family
My Favorite Martian
The Lone Ranger

A Season 3 ep. of Shudder's "Creepshow" will feature an animated episode featuring Mark Hamill and Danielle Harris.

I think The George Lopez Show had some stop motion animated Christmas scenes while George was watching TV.
