Only during Christmas. It's hard to see a Christmas episode of a show during the summer.

Yes, I enjoy Christmas shows. I even enjoy them at non-Christmas times of the year. Regardless of what month it is I like to pop my videotape of the Xmas episodes of The Wonder Years into the VCR and watch. It's just as good even in the summertime.

The Wonder Years Xmas episodes are my favrites also.

I love the color TV one. I remember when the first kid on our block got a color tv (yes, Iam as old as dirt, and my kids tell me this often!). I remember the first show I watched in color was the Miss America Pagent! It was awesome.

So I know exactly how the Arnold's felt...

I loved that show!

Always enjoyed the Christmas specials. They can serve well as heartwarming, entertaining and powerful.

Here are my favorites:
The Dick Van Dyke Show - Alan Brady Presents That Christmas episode was very entertaining especially Rob directing the choir singing Alan Brady. That was funny. I love the Dick Van Dyke and Mary Tyler Moore number. They look so natural together when singing and dancing

The Beverly Hillbillies, Petticoat Junction, and Green Acres I love those three Paul Henning shows celebrating Christmas together during the 68-69 season.

Amen All their Christmas shows. The music was awesome.

Family Ties Their first season on the air Christmas episode where they snowed in at home and looking back on when Alex, Mallory and Jennifer was born. Very entertaining show.

Eight Is Enough -Yes Nicholas There is A Santa Claus Emotionally powerful episode. The cast really was grieving Diana Hyland's death. You can feel the grief in that episode. Willie Aames and Betty Buckley turned in some very powerful performances in that episode. The episode dealt with Tommy's first Christmas without his mom (Joan) and Abby's first Christmas with her new family along with a gift Joan left behind for Tommy, the family's Christmas gifts stolen. Very good episode

I love CHRISTMAS!!

Anytime of year, I will sit down and watch "A Christmas Story" with Ralphie and company. I am a little fanatical about that movie ... I have an original poster, a signed picture of Flick, the script, lobby cards, a signed Peter Billingsley CD... I'm hooked. I just need to get a leg lamp.

However, I have taped the TVLand and N@N Christmas shows. I love that time of year. If I had the money, I would turn down my AC to 60, get a blanket, and curl up watching those every night. It's a comfort thing for me.

My favorite shows are the Golden Girls Christmas when they help the man manage the restaurant; DVD in "Alan Brady Presents;" The Facts of Life "Christmas in the Big House;" and ... well, pretty much any Christmas show.

I LOVE that movie!!! You know how they have the 24 hour marathon if it every Christmas? I watch it every year, back to back. I could never get sick of that movie.

How can you forget 'How the Grinch Stole Christmas'? The cartoon, not the Jim Carrey movie. That's another one that I watch every Christmas. :)

Christmas Story IS the ultimate Christmas movie! I like the Grinch, but I love Charlie Brown much better.

I wish they would start doing "Christmas in July" again on TV Land or Nick @ Nite or even Cartoon Network.

Christmas in July is done on a few networks, they should come up with something!! :) Maybe show TV movies, such as A Very Brady Christmas, cartoon specials, Charlie Brown, or sitcom classics, the MTM episode. :D

I found a few at ebay, but they are kind of on the expensive side. Yeah, they are expensive but I'll put the links down in case anybody wants them.

Of all the Christmas Specials A Charlie Brown Christmas is the
best ever since it emphasizes the true meaning of Christmas.

As far as Christmas Specials of regular tv shows my favorite
as to be the Three's Company one.:)

Oh I love the TC one lol too bad N@N only shows it at Christmas time. Here's the episode summary from the Official TC site:



The trio decides to celebrate Christmas at home because they haven't been invited to any parties, even their neighbors' the Stevens. The Ropers invite them downstairs for a party, and they accept, but moments afterwards the Stevens call to reconfirm their invitation to the party, which must have gotten lost in the mail. Jack and Janet want to go, but Chrissy makes them go to the Ropers. The evening is spent listening to Roper sing silly songs, till finally the kids are able to excuse themselves. They go off to the Stevens' where they run into the Ropers, who also found out too late that they had been invited. Roper had spent the evening trying to bore them into leaving so he and Helen could go to the party.
