For me, I would have to say the 2nd season Happy Days episode where Fonzie is all alone and he has that little Christmas tree and the Cunninghams invite him over to their house.

Pavan · 12-23-2000, 02:39 PM

For me, the Three's Company Christmas Episode, it was funny how Mr. Roper was trying to get rid of them and they ended up in the same party.
Other notables are the Diff'rent Strokes one where that Santa steals the presents, Perfect Strangers when Larry doesn't go back to his home town, and the All in the Family Christmas when Archie screams a lot at the end...

Hey Pavanbadal, I saw that PS Christmas episode today on TV Land. It actually made me cry at the end.

the All in the family episode when Edith is arrested for countereit bills and her refusal to answer the police was hallarious and later,
Archie sees Santa driving away in a cadillac after he promised to stop passing bogus bills.

also the one when Archie yells at the Christmas carolers.

OMG, I have so many! But my all-time favorite is (surprise, surprise) "Oh Hear the Angels Voice" (also known as "Christmas in the Booby Hatch") episode of L&S where they sing for a mental hospital. It is soooo hilarious! I loved Mr. Pulper. ("Mr Pulper likes to pretend he's various members of our staff" (Doctor) "Gee that sounds like fun!" (Squiggy) "Does it reall?" (Doctor) "No..." (Squiggy)) And Lenny and Squiggy's song is fall-down funny! And that episode had Howard Hesseman and Cindy William's real siste r(she played the blonde girl that kept staring at Shirley). I also liked the Hobo dinner L&S episode. And I liked all the FOL Crhistmas episode. But the L&S one is by far my favorite.

I wish I could find copies of Classic TV Christmas episodes. I tried to tape most of the Nick at Nite 12 Sitcoms of Christmas, but I didn't get all of them. Also, I tried to copy many of the MIA Christmas Cartoons -- I got "Christmas comes to Pac-Land," "Scooby-Doo Christmas," "The Smurfs Christmas," and some others. Does anyone know if such a tape is made/purchaseable? Please respond if you do.

The first season Christmas episode of "Veronica's Closet."

Veronica and Olive decide to join a choir. Veronica thinks she's a great singer, but she sucks. The choir lets everyone who tries out in.

Olive looks at the list of names of people who are in and learns that she gets a solo. And when Veronica looks at the list, she learns she's a "mouther," a person who just mouths the words and doesn't sing.

Here are my favorite christmas episodes:

Happy Days: the one where Fonzie is all alone for Christmas and the Cunninghams invite him to come over- that was a classic!

Laverne & Shirley: #76- "All Ye Come All Bums". Laverne and Shirley raise money for Frank's annual christmas party.

Three's Company: #20- "Three's Christmas"

The Lucy Show: #12- "Together for Christmas"
Lucy Carmichael and Vivian Bagley fight over
their Christmas traditions- Another Classic.

I love the Christmas episodes, so this is a tough one for me.

My favorite Xmas shows would probably be the 4 Wonder Years Xmas episodes. I just love the Wonder Years. The Happy Days Xmas shows come in a close second for me.

My favorite Xmas movie is The Father Knows Best Xmas(Home for Xmas). I really had forgotten how much olive green and harvest gold was in our homes in the 70's, but this movie reminds me that it wasn't a scary dream!

Krisalicious · 09-09-2001, 11:16 AM

Let me see....

I loved the Three's Company one..."Three's Christmas."

I also loved the FOL Christmas one ummm "Christmas in the Big House."

Then i loved the Step by Step one where Lilly thinks Santa doesnt exist!

James · 09-09-2001, 08:53 PM

My favorite Christmas episodes are the following:

1. "The Waltons" - "The Children's Carol", a two-parter in which the Baldwin sisters almost adopt two orphaned English children.

2. "The Waltons" - "Day of Infamy" where the Waltons deal with the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.

3-6. "The Wonder Years" - all of them.

7. "The Brady Bunch" - "The Voice of Christmas" in which Carol loses her voice just before she is to sing at church.

Hehe yes it is kind of NOT EDITH isnt it? You think she would answer all thier questions! (I saw that one)

mets82 · 01-10-2018, 12:45 PM

The one where Fonzie is alone is hilarious just because the scene where Mr. C is trying to fix The Santa Claus and it's hitting him in the face.

lakesgirl · 01-10-2018, 05:12 PM

The Eight is Enough Christmas episode where all of their presents get stolen by "Santa" and the family comes together to remember their mom after her death.

Dude111 · 01-10-2018, 06:47 PM
