What's your favorite Christmas episode of a classic TV series?

[HardyGirl]

It's OK if you don't know the titles, but for me, 3 come to mind:

The Brady Bunch: Cindy wants Santa to give her mommy her voice back for Christmas after an attack of laryngitis.

Dragnet: Baby Jesus is missing from a church nativity scene. A little boy promised that if he got a wagon for Christmas, Baby Jesus would get the first ride.

Bewitched: Tabitha makes friends w/ a black girl and the 2 want to be sisters. But another girl says they can't b/c they don't look the same. So Tabitha turns the other girl into a white child so they can look the same. (Doesn't she also turn herself black for awhile? I'll have to watch it again.)

What are your fave Xmas eps?

Adam 12: Baby Jesus is missing from a church nativity scene. A little boy promised that if he got a wagon for Christmas, Baby Jesus would get the first ride.

Actually, I think that was a Dragnet, Sharry

My fav Christmas episode is the Honeymooners Christmas from the Classic 39

OOPS! Y'know you're right! DUH! I'll fix that.

Hmmmm....

The episode of "Norm" where his brother dresses like Santa to surprise a co-worker and ends up in Emerg with a bullet wound.

"Is Santa going to die?"

"Nah. He's just being a drama queen...."

Happy Days- The one where the Fonz was going to spend Christmas alone but told Richie he was going to Whapakeneta to spend Christmas with his family. Then Fozie went over to the Cunninghams to fix the Santa that keeps mugging the neighbors and ended up spending Christmas with the Cunninghams.

Roots: The Gift.

Yes, it is a mini-series, but Sharry didn't say they weren't allowed!

Not sure what show it was, but KISS was in it... Star Wars Holiday Special also ruled... That Nelvana Boba Fett cartoon roxx.

Nobody said Six Million Dollar Man when Steve was a bionic Santa leading Scrooge around

"KISS Saves Christmas" or something?? I thought that was invented for Family Guy? Do you mean Kiss meets the Phantom of the Park?

Also, Nelvana - I remember them. For some reason I always associated them with DIC....I think that Nelvana used the image of a polar bear for their logo...

I like the Simpson's Christmas myself - Homer ends up at the dog track - "Santos L. Harper"... (Santas Little Helper..)

Family Guy Christmas special with clips from that long lost 70's special "KISS saves Christmas"

Kinda kidding about the Family Guy episode but I do love the KISS stuff and since there is some doubt, "KISS saves Christmas" only exists in the world of Family Guy as far as I know

Previous posters mentioned the shows I would mention (Bewitched, Brady Bunch, Dragnet and The Honeymooners) but there are some others

Lost Honeymooners. Alice sends Ralph on a Christmas Eve errand so that Jackie Gleason could visit the Krandem Apartment as all his other characters like The poor soul, Joe the bartender, Reggie Van Gleason III.

The Dick Van Dyke Show: Where the Alan Brady show does a Christmas Show

The Twilight Zone with Art Carney. You all know it

The Patty Duke Show: It's in doubt that Cathy's father, a foreign correspondent can get home for Christmas because of turmoil in a country he is stationed in.

The Six Million Dollar Man: Can't wait to see how Steve Austin does Dickens

Then there are the more poignant Christmas shows I remember

All In The Family: Remember the cross dressing guy that Archie once saved in his cab (believing he was a she). They brought him back a couple episodes and Archie grudgingly liked him and Edith really liked him. On the Christmas show he is mugged and killed and it causes Edith to have a crisis of faith and want to give up on Christmas.

Family Affair: A friend of Buffy's (played by Eve Plumb) is dying from an undisclosed disease (pretty sure they meant for it to be Leukemia). So Uncle Bill, Buffy, Jody, Sissy and the girl's family celebrate Christmas early to make sure she is included.

I haven't seen it in a million years but I kind of remember liking a WKRP Christmas episode ... All I rememeber was it was a take on A Christmas Carol

[Megotu]

Dick Van Dyke's Allen Brady Xmas Special.

[The Toyroom]

Happy Days- The one where the Fonz was going to spend Christmas alone but told Richie he was going to Whapakeneta to spend Christmas with his family.

It was Waukesha actually
