'Tis the season for your favorite sitcom characters to celebrate Christmas! And why not have them celebrate together? That is exactly what we get in the Shout! Factory DVD release of Merry Sitcom!, a single disc release that contains Christmas episodes of seven different series from the 1950s and 1960s, including Father Knows Best, The Donna Reed Show, McHale's Navy, Bewitched, That Girl, The Flying Nun, and Window on Main Street! It's a classic holiday Christmas on one DVD!

Well I am still getting this release and I support it 100%, but it is still a odd curiosity as to why "A Christmas Story" from "Father Knows Best" was ever edited in the first and now second place....the scene that is missing is the tag scene which is a very heartwarming scene in which Kathy imagines her bear comes alive and he winks at her.....this scene appeared countless times in perfect quality in syndication and as recently as when TV land included "Father Knows Best" on the TV Land merrythons about 5 years ago! I even have it recorded directly to DVD, so TV Land actually played the episode totally uncut, and now 2 released versions are cut???....such a strange world.....
