What shows had no Christmas episodes, but you wish they did? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

treky · 12-23-2008, 03:28 AM

"STAR TREK" (all of them-I can just hear Worf: "I am a Klingon-we do not get 'merry' ")

(and Spock-"I do not see the logic in giving gifts to other people")

also "DALLAS"

Batman didn't have a Christmas show, would have been cool to see one. I don't think the Munsters had one either.

For some reason, "The Cosby show" never had a Christmas episode.

Technically there was a Batman Christmas show with Andy Devine playing Santa Claus in the Puzzler episode "The Duo is Slumming."

This would be a very long list but I'll only list some.....

MY THREE SONS
I DREAM OF JEANNIE
GOMER PYLE USMC
FAMILY AFFAIR (did a dying girls christmas in July, but not really official)
I LOVE LUCY (did the flashback episode, but really missed an opportunity)

Always thought it was really strange that Dallas never had any Christmas episodes--the Ewings at Christmas would have been fun!!

Also I Dream of Jeannie--Jeannie would have been blinking Santa to Cocoa Beach by mistake or zapping Tony & Roger to the North Pole to see if he exists, etc.

Did Sanford & Son ever have a Christmas episode? I don't think Soap ever did.

I was going to say that as well - very strange how Cosby never did a Christmas episode. They even had a Father's Day episode, but nothing for Christmas

Furienna · 12-23-2008, 04:40 PM

Someone suggested, that it was because Lisa Bonet (Denise Huxtable) was (half) Jewish. I doubt that's the reason though.

yea, "SANFORD & SON" did; at least once. It was another sitcom parody of "A CHRISTMAS CAROL".

I think it had Fred as Scrooge.

It seems sometimes at Christmas, every other sitcom does a parody of either "A CHRISTMAS CAROL" or "IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE".

Pavan · 12-23-2008, 05:23 PM

Cosby Show had two sort of Christmas episodes, but not Christmas episodes per say. Yes, Sanford & Son had one.

Leave it to Beaver, Soap and My Wife & Kids never had Christmas episodes.

Jude The Obscure · 12-23-2008, 08:36 PM

Pav, what are the sort of Christmas episodes for Cosby? I can't recall them.

catlover79 · 12-23-2008, 08:38 PM

Thanks for the info, Treky and Pav.

I know! Those parodies (or tributes) are usually good though.
