Of all the TV sitcom Christmas specials, which is your fave?

[Deja Q]

Futurama's "XMas Story" (season 2) takes the cake for me. Totally off the wall and kooky stuff. Of course, it seems more real to me than * winning a second election, but what do I know? I'm gay! :crazy: :D

[Left Is Write]

1. This season or of all sitcom history?

[Deja Q]

6. All of sitcom history.

7. Okay, this is going to sound corny and cheesy -

but I have a soft spot for the Brady Bunch Christmas episode in which Mrs. Brady loses her voice, and Cindy asks Santa to give her mother her voice back so she can sing on Christmas morning. *sniff*

I also like the episode of the Dick Van Dyke show in which the whole gang gets together to perform in the Christmas edition of the Alan Brady Show.

And I'm fond of the Bewitched episode "A Vision of Sugar Plums" in which Samantha takes a little boy to meet Santa Claus.

[Deja Q]

8. Not at all, I remember Brady Bunch and Bewitched episodes very well.

Didn't see Dick van Dyke, but it might be out on DVD for me to see... :-)

They're great choices.

Is Queer Eye going to do a Santa makeover ?

4. Emmet Otter's Jug Band Christmas

Although they don't show it any more for some reason.

[dr.strangelove]

24. It cost over $100 on DVD

I bought a used copy on ebay for $12, but amazon has it for $150 on DVD and ebay runs from 45-120. Its OOP (out of print) and is a collectors item now.

My wife and I love Emmet Otter. I think it is a great film and I love to watch it every year.

5. I'm quite fond of teh Family Guy one...

Kiss Saves Christmas = awesome.

9. Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol

The music is wonderful. I have turned many people on to this treasure and everyone I have shown it to loves it.

12. Where is the Click to answer my clack

I'm all alone in the world.

I haven't seen that in a zillion years--man, that song made me *cry* when I was little. I haven't seen it in ages.

[mac56]

21. Me too.

Saw it last year for the first time in about 35 years. I know more about animation now than I did back then, but I still enjoyed it immensely.

We'll have the Lord's bright blessings, and knowing we're together...

14. Ah, Yes, The Christmas Lunch incident

meat and 17 veg
the great brussel sprout duel

[u4ic]

17. I forgot

there are two...the one that I really like is the interactive nativity play, where they use Owen's farm to re-create the birth..and Alice ends up doing just that.

Maybe it's the pre-Xmas special?

The meat & 17 veg is pretty funny as well, as is the Mr Bean one.

[yellowdogintexas]

18. the meat and 17 veg is from the season before the

interactive nativity play, and I can't believe I forgot THAT ONE
that is the all time topper!!!!!


I must be tired.

Rumor: our PBS station told us last week during beg week that there are new episodes of the VICAR!!!!!

[u4ic]

19. I will be one HAPPY lady

if there are more!!! :bounce:

I do know they had a few specials that weren't shown here in North America, such as Ballykissdibley and the one in which Johnny Depp guest stars.

I know the dialogue to each and every VOD show (I have them on tape) - and I'm still addicted.

Please do tell when they're on!

[yellowdogintexas]

22. what city are you in?

I am in Fort Worth, KERA 13 is our PBS station, and they are saying we should have them in 2005...

They could show up on BBCA before KERA gets them, though.

[u4ic]

23. I'm in Edmonton, Alberta

I'll be looking for them now, thanks for the heads up!
