All of Community's Christmas episodes are fantastic. 30 Rock's are generally pretty great, too.

The Bewitched Thanksgiving episode, can't be topped!!

OH Nuts! · 11-27-2012, 09:01 AM

BTW, if you do like these kinds of Xmas eps, check out Antenna TV, if you can. Last year they had an Xmas marathon of eps from many shows. I ended up burning few DVDs of such eps.

I know that as a kid I just loved the Mr. Magoo Xmas carol. As for other series eps, I'll have to review them to pick out my top favorites - which won't be easy as I like them all.

But I can pick three that really were truly outstanding and are ABSOLUTE MUST SEES should you come across them:

Bewitched - A Vision of Sugar Plums S1#15
Andy Griffith - A Christmas Story S1#11
Twilight Zone - Night Of The Meek S2#11

Oh yes that one was priceless. Poor Aunt Clara, always meaning well but always getting everyone into some kind of giant mess!

treky · 11-28-2012, 02:38 AM

I like the "FRASIER" Christmas episode "Miracle on third or fourth street".

Also the "MASH" episode "Dear Dad" (from the first season, when it was funny. Somone made a BIIIG mistake when, in the 4th season they let Alan Alda take over some of the writing and directing and every week it was "oh, we're doctors and we're nurses; and we're so good because we save lives; and death is such a bummer....")

And I like the I LOVE LUCY Christmas episode.

Also the one from THE HONEYMOONERS "The night before Christmas"

Ohio8 · 11-28-2012, 05:45 PM

Specials:
1)"A Charlie Brown Christmas"
2)"How the Grinch Stole Christmas"
3)"Santa Claus is Coming to Town"

And several others I can't name right now.

Cheers Thanksgiving episode with the food fight:

Diane: "Sam Malone...kiss your butt good-bye!" as she flings mashed potatoes at him.

Sal · 11-28-2012, 10:11 PM

My favorite Thanksgiving episode is from "The Beverly Hillbillies" and it is called "The Thanksgiving Spirit". It is notable for being the only episode in which the main casts of all three of Paul Henning's hit country sitcoms assemble together on one set: "Beverly Hillbillies", "Green Acres", and "Petticoat Junction". For a franchise known for making great 'crossover' episodes, this is by far the best one. The last scene where everyone is at the table listening to Jed say a prayer is a moment of real beauty which perfectly captures the moment, as is the studio publicity photo below.

McGillicuddy · 11-28-2012, 10:51 PM

I forgot about the BH-GA-PJ Thanksgiving episode. It was great! Also the best cross-over episode of all time.

That's a great picture, but I wish Jethro would have changed out of his costume. He kind of ruins the whole group shot!! Also, I bet everyone missed Bea Benaderet that day, when this was taken.
