6 TV Shows with Great Christmas Episodes
Everybody loves a good Christmas special, especially me. Whether its the old-fashioned classics, like Rudolph or Charlie Brown, or maybe it’s newer movies that are particularly awesome, like Elf. Christmas has always been solid creative fodder for some really great entertainment. The combination of cheerfulness, the Christmas Spirit and some awesome characters and mythology makes for good storytelling.
All I want for Christmas...is this.
Nowadays, we don’t get a lot of those standalone Christmas specials, like Frosty the Snowman, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer or that one where Santa Claus teachers the Winter Warlock to walk again. Don’t pretend you don’t know the words.
Instead we get Christmas episodes of our favorite TV shows! Here are 6 TV Shows that have Great Christmas Episodes.
Because Last Week Was Batman Comedy Week, Apparently
Because I am not privy to the machinations of NBC, I don’t know if this was planned or just coincidence, but two NBC shows ran jokes about Batman last week. Extended jokes, complete with costume; not just a punchline. First of all, Batman is never not relevant. Second of all, if it was a coincidence, how did that happen? Other than Batman just being generally awesome.
Sadly, neither one was very funny. If you want funny Batman sketches, go to College Humor.
But first we have a noble effort by Saturday Night Live. I haven’t watched them in years, but I guess they do digital shorts now? As opposed to live sketches? Where’d that come from? Anyway, Steve Buscemi as Commissioner Gordon is awesome.
Second is the show Community, which is an amazing show, yet is on the verge of being cancelled. Why? BECAUSE WE CAN’T HAVE NICE THINGS!
How is it that a TV show where one character does an extended Batman riff – in costume! – isn’t the most popular show on TV?
