Least? I was never in all my years of Sitcom watching, crazy about Halloween episodes. I can't stand Halloween episodes. I'm not bothered by Christmas episodes.

Thanksgiving, boring holiday, and it does not make a very interesting episode theme as well.

I can watch a Thanksgiving Episode before Halloween. Halloween is the worst.

Maybe Halloween. Unless your show is a family show, Bewitched, Addams Family or Munsters, it's hard to write a Halloween episode with adult characters.

Undercover Angel, Thanksgiving episodes tend to be some of the best! "Friends" is well-known for its annual Thanksgiving episode. "Cheers," "Will & Grace" and "Frasier" did great Thanksgiving episodes too.

Hmmm it really depends on the show.

dandelion wine · 11-03-2004, 11:30 PM

Psh, I guess I'd go with Halloween.. much as I like 'em.

barwars · 11-04-2004, 06:58 PM

I like all three, but I'm with Solomon.... the Halloween episodes aren't as entertaining as Thanksgiving or Christmas episodes.

EmoJoe · 11-04-2004, 07:02 PM

I like all three, but Halloween is probably the worst.

Thanksgiving. Blah.

You being a Roseanne fan, I'm surprised to hear you say that.

Some of their best episodes were about Thanksgiving.

IGNTBone · 11-05-2004, 12:56 AM

I agree with Halloween.

A couple were good but several sucked.

Thanksgiving, I love the holiday but episodes about it are kinda boring. The Happy Days episode where they played pilgrims is a good example.

Like you, Solomon, I'm not too fond of Halloween episodes. I thought they deviated from the main premise of the show. I can remember when I used to watch The Simpsons religiously, Halloween episodes were no fun to watch at all.

I can think of at least two series that aired Thanksgiving and Christmas episodes but not Halloween--The Waltons and The Wonder Years.
