I watched The Nanny, Roseanne, Partridge Family, 3rd Rock, Cosby Show and only occasionally Just Shoot Me (I love Wendie Malick). I have season DVDs of The Nanny, Partridge, and 3rd Rock.
Wow, thanks for the head's up about Lois & Clark. That episode is on my list to watch today and I was going to watch the streaming version because they look great - but definitely DVD for this one.
Tonight I watched:
Two and a Half Men - S4 E11 Walnuts and Demerol
This show is surely in questionable taste, however, I resonate with that sense of abandon I sometimes had on Christmas Eve when you realize you don't have to go back to work for a few days, so you have an extra...
I did watch PF back in the day, and while I enjoyed this episode, as a "family" series, I wish there had been at least one or two more Christmas episodes over their four seasons.
Speaking to the theme of Christmas, it worth mentioning that Dean Jagger also played the General in White Christmas.
I definitely get your point about Bob Newhart season 6 - but I kind of enjoy the farcical tone of The Pie Before Christmas. I remember watching that episode when it was on originally and my brother and I laughed and laughed. So my affection for it definitely overwrites a rational "this doesn't...
I had a spare 24 minutes this morning and watched "Twas the Pie Before Christmas", The Bob Newhart Show, S6-E12. It is pure farce and a bit of departure for this show; the other holiday episodes are more serious in nature. It really looks like the cast was having a ball with this one and it...
I am actually getting started on some Thanksgiving episodes right now. Friends has some really good ones that give us a lot of backstory. (The one where Ross and Monica's parents find out some hitherto unknown childhood secrets and Rachel makes an English Trifle/Shepherd's Pie might be my...
Mine is Terminator 2, not exactly a holiday movie LOL I received the laserdisc for Christmas in IIRC 1991 and I did not have a chance to watch it until everyone was out of the house for New Years Eve and that was the night I watched the laserdisc and it was kind of magical. So that is my...
I am watching a few New Year's Eve themed episodes. Friends has two, Frasier has a really funny one where they have to celebrate in Martin's Winnebago. A short-lived series with Henry Winkler and Stockard Channing I enjoyed called Out of Practice has a fun one where their kids throw a NYE party...
Season 1 (and reworked opening for S2) - A Vision of Sugar Plums
S4 - Humbug Not to Be Spoken Here
S6 - Santa Comes to Visit and Stays and Stays
S7 - Sisters at Heart (my fave - a quaint and slightly awkward episode today but it was a risk then)
A friend and I had a nice time last night staying up late and watching The Mary Tyler Moore Show "Christmas and the Hard Luck Kid", The Bob Newhart Show "'Twas the Pie Before Christmas" (pure farce but so much fun) and WKRP "Jennifer's Home for Christmas", which is one of my favorites ever, just...
I was pleased that I was able to record the Murphy Brown Christmas episodes from Rewind TV this morning. I was able to tune it is on a DVD/VCR recorder that was lurking in my garage and captured them on a recordable DVD. For years, I watched these episodes from my ancient VHS with tracking...
If you are asking about the episode of BOB that I mentioned, yes, it had a disc release. I found it in a close out bin for $1.00 some years ago and had never watched it until recently.
It looks like it is still available on Amazon.
BOB - complete series
I watched a rather obscure episode tonight - from the Bob Newhart sit-com BOB in which he is, of all things, a graphic novel (i.e. comic book) writer/artist. "A Christmas Story" 12/21/92 - Just before the boss's annual Christmas Party, a phone call alerts Bob and Harlan to some accidental...
Thank you for mentioning the Home Improvement Christmas episodes, those are fun. I usually watch those back to back with the Roseanne Christmas episodes because they aired together back in the day. Murphy Brown has some good Christmas episodes, too, although not readily available AFAIK. I am...
I am prepping anything I can freeze for TG today, and, while not exactly Christmas, I am really enjoying the TG episodes of Friends as I work. I love the backstories, and several episodes had some slapstick that made me laugh out loud. It is nice to have (F)friends with me in the kitchen :)
I am not sure if you are a Star Trek fan, but the sister that wanted to see snow is played by Celia Lovsky who played T'Pau in the classic Star Trek original series episode "Amok Time", S2 E1. Such a different character and she is great in both parts.
Yesterday afternoon I watched the Patrick Stuart version of A Christmas Carol. I really enjoyed it. All of the actors gave heartfelt performances. It was only 1.5 hours but I felt that it was quite true to Dickens and there seemed to be nothing missing from the story. It was kind of magical - I...
I love that episode of Frasier, too, but it is a pet peeve plot point of mine when sit-coms do this - and so many do. For instance, there is an episode of The Partridge Family where Keith convinces Laurie to pretend to be his date to make a girl jealous. What happens if the relationship works...
Two others I thought of are the 3rd Rock from the Sun TG episode, S2-E10 and Less Than Perfect, Claude's Alternative Thanksgiving, S2-E9, which guest stars Valerie Harper and Joanna Kerns.
Giblets for Murray is fun! I haven't watched that one yet this year. Mad About You has another one that is more bittersweet, S1-E9 titled "Riding Backwards", which all takes place going to, and then from, TG dinner with family.
FRIENDS has the following Thanksgiving episodes:
S1 - E9 - The One Where Underdog Gets Away
S2 - E8 - The One with the List
S3 - E9 - The One with the Football
S4 - E8 - The One with Chandler in a Box
S5 - E8 - The One with All the Thanksgivings* (fat Monica meets Chandler)
S6 - E9 - The One...
I love the FRIENDS Thanksgiving episodes, in particular the ones where we see fat Monica meet Chandler for the first time, the one where Rachel makes an unfortunate trifle and we find out that Ross smoked marijuana, and also the one with Brad Pitt.
ROSEANNE has some great Thanksgiving episodes...
Today we watched The Polar Express, White Christmas, the Patrick Stewart version of 'A Christmas Carol', Mary Tyler Moore 'Hard Luck Christmas', Partridge Family 'Don't Bring Your Guns Santa' and the four Christmas episodes of Bewitched. After posting this, I will probably watch the WKRP...
