What TV series do you think has the best Christmas episode ever?
:))

[dvdguy]

Justice League.


Or Pinky & the Brain.

Or Batman the animated series.

or.......too many to choose

[dominick]

I'm fond of the old Andy Griffith episode where mean old Ben Weaver tries to get himself arrested just to join the Christmas festivities at the jail.

[Sunshine73]

Wow, that's a toughie.

I think consistently "Home Improvement" had the best Christmas episodes. I think they did one every year and it seemed that they always went "all out" for their Christmas episodes and that always made them fun to watch.

[Billy Battles]

I don't watch much T.V. So it its hard for me to say, however my favorite episode are always the Christmas ones.

[dvdguy]

i am currently watching Animaniacs "a Christmas Plotz"

[sugarplum fairy]

I don't know what series had the best, but the Christmas episodes were always the best no matter what series it was. They were/are always my favorite.

[kidzrme]

The Waltons! Good wholesome television.

[Montana's Santa]

The episode of Father Knows Best where the family was away from home at Christmas and the little girl was afraid Santa wouldn't find her... but I did!

[Storeytime]

Two way tie for best: I Love Lucy and Andy Griffith.

[Annette1990]

Oh this is a tough one...do we only get to pick one? *L* I really love them all. The older classics the better.

[Ladybugkisses]

Sunshine-when I read the question I instantly thought of "Home Improvement". I love that show and was thrilled when Nick at Nite started running their episodes and I especially can't wait til the Christmas ones start running.

[MrsH]

My favorite seriously Christmasy ones were the Waltons and Little House on the Prairie. However, I do love the Friends episode with the "Holiday Armadillo". I laugh my butt off everytime Ross walks in dressed in the armadillo costume.

[christmasdisplays.co.nz]

The Home Improvement Christmas specials myself.
Funny as and I can relate to some of the situations Tim gets himself into.

You too? I've been compared to him many a time.

Yeah, the Home Improvements are good.

[Andrex]

Yes! The JL one was great. I forget, but which B:TAS one are you referring to?

[dvdguy]

the batman animated from the same folks that did justice league
There was a nice episode called Christmas with the joker. Had some great bits. the part where batman says he never saw its a wonderful life rules. "i could never get past the title" classic
the newer batman episodes also had an episode titled holiday knights. 3 stories, very enjoyable

Ah, I loved B:TAS. I don't remember the Christmas episode (but I do remember the Joker's scene in The Long Halloween, great stuff), but I remember him and Gordon at a diner and it snowed. That was great. :D

[dvdguy]

yeah thats a classic. Thats the one bullock playing santa & the joker trying to kill everyone on newyears eve

[kgstyles]

I would have to say any of the Married with Children Christmas episodes were good. Also I like That 70's show and the Simpsons Christmas episodes. But I like any Christmas show regardless. I just like these ones more!!

[joy365]

If you are looking for a real "christmas-y" feeling than I too would have to say home improvement. They seem to capture some of the Christmas magic and make me feel warm watching it. However, as far as entertainment is concerned, "The Office" christmas episodes are laugh out loud funny

[LittleMissLaura]

oooh, i love christmas episodes!

my favs are the simpsons and mr.bean cheesy

[~SnowFlake~]

the odd couple

[christmas87]

I would have to say that home improvment had the best christmas series.I dont remember them when they use to come on but they are starting to show them again and in the couple months that they have been on i have seen at least 3 christmas episodes and i liked all them.

[joyful]

Little House on the Prarie
Coach
Touched by an Angel
I Love Lucy (they rarely show the Christmas episode so I taped it)

[Holiday]

I have been thinking about this since the question was asked & I just don't know! Lol! I can't think of just one that really sticks out in my mind. I will have to go back & watch some that I have taped. I'm sure it will be an oldy...Happy Days, All In The Family (I'm thinking that might be my favorite) Lavern & Shirley, Brady Bunch, Coach, I Love Lucy, the Jeffersons, Three's Company, The Waltons, Little House On The Prarie, There are so many good oldies....

[Jeff Westover]

I've almost skipped this thread entirely because my choice is pretty unconventional. I pretty much love everything mentioned but for me one of the best Christmas episodes I ever saw was the first season of West Wing. Different, yes. But pretty powerful in its own way.

[whitexmas]

home improvement and friends

[ChristmasSpirit76]

Home Improvement, The Waltons, I love Lucy, Seinfeld,(Happy Festivus and the christmas card w/ Elaine)and Little House on the Prairie

[~SnowFlake~]

St Elsewhere was good.

[dvdguy]

definitely justice league. Definitely

[MrsH]

Bah!!!! Worst Christmas Episode ever

[dvdguy]

BAH!!

Communist!

[MrsH]

SMACK!!

One of my favorites is the Friends episode when Ross is the "Holiday Armadillo". The lengths that parents will go for their children.

[dvdguy]

Pinky & the Brain Christmas. Almost brought a tear to my eye

[RavenHardt]

Pinky & the Brain Christmas. Almost brought a tear to my eye

Are you serious??????????????????

[dvdguy]

yes its the ending that gets me

[RavenHardt]

* hands dvdguy a tissue *

[act_as_if]

Oh, Home Improvement, for sure. Also, friends, little house on the prairie,the waltons, and I can't believe noone else said this, Flinstone's christmas. Anyone remember the old Nickolodeen? Hey Arnold and Rugrats christmas. Those are just a few of my favorites.

[Snow is falling...]

Even though it's not the typically "warm" Christmas special, I liked the Scrubs episode. :)

[dvdguy]

yes the scrubs episode where Turk finds the girl in the park

[Maureen]

I agree with the Little House on the Prairie/Waltons choices - basically because you are always guaranteed a good sob with either of them!!

There was also the Betwitched episode where both the Stevens and the Kravitz's took an orphan home to spend Christmas with them. Samantha and Darren's boy was a "non-believer". Cue a magical trip to the North Pole to prove Santa really did exist!!!

[Snow is falling...]

yes the scrubs episode where Turk finds the girl in the park

Yep, that's the one :)

There's also a dubbed over Charlie Brown Xmas with the Scrubs cast members...very cool!

[mrspenguin]

I always loved Home Improvement and Friends.I like Home Improvement b/c Tim's character is so much like my step-dad it's scary. I also loved the Friends Thanksgiving episode when Monica put the turkey on her head and danced.

[clarebear]

Only fools and horses, The vicar of dibley, Roseanne, I love lucy, The Simpsons, Home Improvement.

I love christmas episodes! x

[whychristmas]

I the the Christmas episode of 'The Good Life' (and 70's UK sitcom about a couple in suburbia going 'self suffient'). It contains the wonderful lines 'Christmas is cancelled because the lorry's not coming' and 'I have a spare goose'!

lol, thats a great line!

[david07]

I have to agree with you guys when you say home imrovement...it seems like in the past month i have seen almost all of the christmas episodes...my personal favorite is when Brad doesn't want to spend Christmas with the family and eventually comes around...it has one of my favorite scenes and lines of all times...Al: "Who's Leon?" Randy: "Maybe Leon was the baby in the manger next door" I absolutely love that episode

[MissKringle]

The Simpsons & Home Improvement, I'd also say The Family Guy one, it's very...umm..different but I'm the biggest family guy fan! lol

[dvdguy]

Alright! kiss saves Santa

[Snow is falling...]

"Maybe next year we'll let you have solo!"

"Don't encourage him!"

Haha, great episode.

[Andrex]

The Rugrats ones were cool because it was one of the few kids shows to talk about different religions. Most shows nowadays are too cowardly to attempt something like that.

[Maebeary]

My all-time favorite would be the "Little House on the Prairie" Christmas show from season 1. It's when Laura makes a trade to Mr. Oleson....her horse for a stove for her Ma. I also enjoy the Home Improvement Christmas shows! I also have fond memories of Christmas with "The Flintstones." I loved the Flintstones!

[Trevor]

There was also the Betwitched episode where both the Stevens and the Kravitz's took an orphan home to spend Christmas with them. Samantha and Darren's boy was a "non-believer". Cue a magical trip to the North Pole to prove Santa really did exist!!!

I'm watching that episode as we "speak"! A great one, and nice guest appearance by Bill Mumy too.

[Amy]

I'm fond of the old Andy Griffith episode where mean old Ben Weaver tries to get himself arrested just to join the Christmas festivities at the jail.We just watched this and I have to agree...it's one of my favorites!!

:give:

[SW1Dennis]

:sparkle:

I know my reply is very late because I just saw this thread......I am surprised that no one mentioned The Beverly Hillbillies. I really enjoyed their color versions the best!

[pbrbullrider]

maybe garfield christmas or Home Inprovment Christmas

Jeff G. "bullrider"

[MrsH]

Only fools and horses, The vicar of dibley, Roseanne, I love lucy, The Simpsons, Home Improvement.

I love christmas episodes! x

I love The Vicar of Dibley. Great show!!

[DoubleA]

Such tough choices: The Simpsons tops the list, but Home Improvement and Johnny Bravo are right behind.

[Trevor]

Andy Griffith

[Maureen]

Anything Touched by an Angel-wise is guaranteed to make me blub. Ditto Little House on the Prairie and The Waltons:sad:

[auntieclaus]

I love the Walton's Homecoming ~ I have the DVD.

[Twinkle]

Walton's Homecoming, Touched by an Angel, Everybody Loves Raymond and King of Queens.

[Scot Meyers]

I would have to say Home improvement. Tim's lighting competition with his doctor neighbor. 2nd would be the muppets show christmas was always a treat as a kid 4 me.

[Minta]

All the ones from MASH rank at the top of my list. Others on my list: Touched by an Angel, Family Matters, Step By Step, Full House, Little House on the Prarie, Home Improvement, Everybody Loves Raymond, and Happy Days.

[christmas87]

i would have to say home improvement and because they show chirstmas shows of this show the most out of any tv series out there that they still show.

[momnan30]

Family Matters, Everybody Loves Raymond, and if I'm not mistaken, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air had Boyz to Men sing Silent Night and it was really beautiful. Christmas Episodes...love, love, love them!

[elfworks]

WEST WING epi where josh has ptsd and the choirs etc are getting to him.

THE DICK VAN DYKE SHOW'S christmas shows ROCKED!

MASH epi where radar gets charles' mom to send him his ski cap and the one where they keep the patient alive til after midnight.

having brain cramp now......
