Simpsons Christmas Special (1 Viewer)

[Jamie Cole]

Does anyone know if the Christmas episode on the new Simpsons Season 1 DVD set (listed as "Simpsons Roasting On An Open Fire") is the Simpsons Christmas special where Bart gets Santa's Little Helper from the race track?
I've not seen this hilarious episode anywhere else but on (gulp) VHS. It's one of my all-time favorites.
Homer as Santa: "What's your name, little boy?"
Bart: "I'm Bart Simpson, who the hell are you?"
If it's not on there, it would be a great extra on a future full-season release.

Gee, that's funny. I went to http://www.fox.com,
It says:

Christmas is nearly ruined when Marge has to spend all of the family's gift money to remove Bart's tattoo. Homer becomes a department store Santa to raise more cash, but bets it all at the dog races on a hot tip from Barney. Homer and Bart save Christmas by adopting the losing greyhound, Santa's Little Helper.

So, there ya' go!

Twas the pilot episode from 89 as I recall. Great episode.
Patty: "Marge there?"
Homer: "sure. who's this?"
Patty: "May I please speak to Marge?"
Homer: "Who shall I say is calling?"
Patty: ".....Marge please"

Gee, that's funny. I went to www.fox.com clicked on The Simpsons on their TV programs list, then clicked on Episode guide...and "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire" was the first one up!

Ummm... D'OH!
That's great news.

And yes, it will be on the DVD. I still have been getting conflicting views as to whether they will be presented in production order or air-date order. Regardless... I am so psyched about this. Almost 250 DVDs later I remember why I bought my player in the first place. For the Simpsons.
