This is a thread dedicated to shows where the original, mythological St. Nick himself made an appearance. I'll start off.

1) Family Guy
2) American Dad
3) Stroker and Hoop
4) The Twilight Zone
5) Bewitched

"Gilligan's Island": the first season.
"Full House": the final season's episode with Mickey Rooney.

Night Court

not really a sitcom, but in the Doctor Who 2010 Christmas Special, the Doctor says he is a friend of Santa's, providing a photo of him and Santa at Frank Sinatra's hunting lodge in 1952.

on Woops! Santa appeared as a real person - who felt guilty being one of the survivors after the nuclear accident

The Flintstones- Fred subbed for Santa because he had a cold. The Addams Family-He was only heard. Yogi's First Christmas, The Brady Bunch "The Voice of Christmas".

OK, thanks. That explains it. I didn't watch the show as faithfully after Mike and Gloria left, and this was the final season of AITF before ABP took over.

I love that episode! It's unfortunate that it rarely airs.

Also, I seem to remember a "Jeffersons" episode featuring the "real" Santa, but I can't recall the details of the episode. Anyone remember?

when they made that revival of THE TWILIGHT ZONE in the 80s they re-made that segment.
