Christmas Episodes, They Gotta be out there - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I would love to see both or either one of the 2 different Christmas episodes produced by this great series. They never seem to pop up whenever the show once every 20 years pops back up on a TV station. Anyone have these Christmas episodes, either one would be nice if not both.

This is a Bachelor Father message board, I'm talking about Christmas episodes of Bachelor Father, I've know about Hazel Christmas shows for decades, that's not the subject, Bachelor Father Christmas episodes is what I'd like.

The fifth season BF Christmas episode is a pretty good one. I have the later seasons of BF--I did not even know they did another Christmas episode.

I have the entire series minus one episode from the 5th and final season, "Star Light, Star Not So Bright", which has to do with a female client of Bentley's who believes in horoscopes.

To the best of my knowledge, there is only one Christmas episode, "Deck the Halls" from the final season.

Do you have a title or a description of another?

You know I was going from the titles and I thought that "Star Light, Star Not So Bright" was a Christmas episode. THanks for correcting my false notion. I recorded all the Bachelor Fathers that the old RTV channel showed some years back but they skipped a whole bunch of them. I hadn't watched those recorded shows till about a year and a 1/2 ago, at first I thought the show was not funny and kind of stupidly written. But, by golly, the show really grew on me, now I find the show thoroughly enjoyable and a pleasure and even fun to watch. It's still not the funniest thing on TV, BUT it is sure a pleasure to watch. Now I'm almost thru watching my DVDs of the show, only one more to go.

(I watched 1 a week.)

If you're interested, CJ, in doing a trade I have a lot of shows for you to choose from. I'd love to get the whole collection (-1) even if I get a bunch of doubles, it'd be worth it to me to get the ones I don't have.

This is an enjoyable show that I hadn't seen in years, when Antenna played it a few years back. I like the later seasons better than the earlier ones. A plus was that Antenna played it totally unedited, but a minus was, that they skipped many episodes from the later seasons. When you view what they skipped, you find (this is only a theory) that most of the skipped ones have musical performances (songs written by others, which must be licensed for use, not music made for the show). I think the rights to the music expired, so they simply did not remaster and renegotiate the rights to those episodes. All of this is unusual for a sitcom--like Bentley Gregg, Forsythe's Bachelor Productions spent their money lavishly!

In one of the episodes Antenna didn't play, Peter referred to one of Bentley's women as "stacked"! Wow! How did that get by a network censor in the '60s?

(Sorry, guys, this post is really off topic!)
