The Family Ties episode when they parodied the ghost of Christmas past, present, and future where Alex was a bald headed villian. Then a few seasons later when Alex got a gig as a department store Santa and the little girl's dad showed up unexpectedly on Christmas Eve.

like the thread starter its hard to pick as i have over 200 episodes recorded over 40 years but here is my top 10.

1. Mary Tyler Moore (1st season)
2. That Girl (1st one which inspired same name as Marys' above)
3. Happy Days (1st season)
4. The Brady Bunch (1st season)
5. All 3 Dennis The Menace episodes
6. Both Hazel episodes
7. All Ozzie & Harriet episodes
8. Both Father Knows Best episodes
9. The Lucy Show (1st season)
10. Dragnet (both B&W & Color, same script)

Added there are so many I felt bad i left out The Honeymooners (Classic 39) and original "The Flintstones" episode from series

All of these are great--a particular favorite is FKB from the first season (but the Angel's Sweater from the third season is a classic, too). Also like The Alan Brady Show Presents from Dick Van Dyke.

As far as Dennis goes, he did a pretty respectable job with Silent Night. As did Jon Provost on Lassie. I particularly liked the way they all join in over the credit roll.

In no particular order:

The Flintstones-Christmas Flintstone
Happy Days-Guess Who’s Coming to Christmas
The Andy Griffith Show-Christmas Story
Bob Newhart Show-dreaming slight Christmas
Bob Newhart Show-His busiest season
The Mary Tyler Moore Show-Christmas Hardluck kid 2
The Homecoming: The Original Waltons Pilot

These are just some off the top of my head.

I think the HI where Brad wants to go off with his friends, but at the last minute Tim persuades him to see Mark sing in the choir, is a classic.

This is another classic, IMO - adapted from a story by an LA high school class.

My problem with the episode,was he and his friends are just a little too young for the ski resort plot. Should of held onto this script and waited til he was at least a junior in high school.

Yes that Home Improvement episode is hilarious. After grounding Brad. I like it when Tim tells Brad don’t be sneaking down watching the Tool Time Merrython! lol! Remember No EL (AL)!
