Considering Christmas is in four days, I was wondering what you guys thought were some of the greatest Christmas-themed TV episodes. Obviously there's the Festivus episode of Seinfeld and the Holiday Armadillo one of Friends but what else do you think deserves to be up there? I've got my own list here: http://thecelebritycafe.com/features/22752.html

The Married... With Children episode where Al has to be a Mall Santa

The Taxi episode when Louie's Brother comes to town. This epiosde (A Full House for Christmas - 1.13) is infamous because of what happened backstage during filming as 'Tony Clifton' was originally surpose to play Louie's brother before being kicked off the set.

My very favourite is Guess Who's Coming to Christmas - Happy Days. For straight LOL comedy nothing beats the Married with Children episodes. On the dark side, 70s crime dramas How Cruel the Frost, How Bright the Stars - Kojak and Little Girl Lost - Starsky & Hutch.

I enjoy all the Dr. Quinn Christmas episodes. They are all very good. I think one of my favorites is when the Reverend goes blind and doesn't want to do the Christmas service at the church. Finally everyone covinces him to go. It is a very spiritual episode. I am very religious person, so it really spoke to me. I loved the part when the Reverend was reading the birth of Jesus in the Bible from memorization and he could hear it snowing. Everyone went outside, and sure enough, it was snowing. It was a very touching episode.

I like the episode of Family Matters when Laura has to look at the world through Steve's eyes. Her guardian angel turns her into a nerd and she gets to see what Steve goes through being who he is. After that, Laura had more respect for Steve and became better friends with him. It was a very good episode.

I like most all the Home Improvement Christmas episodes. They are all very funny.

The Golden Girls Christmas episodes are pretty good. They are all different but funny in different ways. Very enjoyable.

Married...With Children where Santa parachutes down to the mall and he falls in the Bundy's backyard.

The Andy Griffith Show where Andy puts some guy in jail for moonshining and Ben Weaver wants him to stay there for Christmas and they all have Christmas at the jail with Barney as Santa Claus.

Dick Van Dyke Show where the whole family puts on a Christmas special for the Alan Brady Show.

Reba where everyone's leaving Reba alone for the holidays, then one by one they all start coming back home.

Saved By The Bell where Zack meets the homeless girl and invites her and her dad to his house for Christmas and they all put on a play.

All In The Family where the draft dodger visits Mike.

The Big Bang Theory where Penny gives Sheldon a napkin that Leonard Nimoy wiped his face on and Sheldon gives Penny a ton of baskets with scented soaps, lotions, etc.

The Facts Of Life where they perform Christmas songs at a prison.

Family Matters where Urkel tries to get the Winslows to believe in Santa and Urkel's all alone in his basement when Laura goes over to ask him to come to their house for Christmas.

Home Improvement- all of them!
