Happy Days: "Christmas Time" (25 of 25)
Merry Christmas everybody! We did it again! Twenty-Five more days of Sitcom Christmas that came and went so fast. Too fast! It's the final day of "Sitcom All Ye Faithful" and as tradition states (long ago by the sitcom podcast elders who passed down their teachings to me over the centuries) — I must end my yearly Christmas celebration with my favorite show of all time for as long as it's possible. And oh it is possible this year as I am BACK talking Happy Days!!I I hope you stay subscribed to the podcast through 2023 as I'll be back with more Movies, more McFlys, and more Sitcoms. Special thanks to Eric, Jason, Chris and Brandon for joining me again this year, and thanks to everyone who listened! Hope to have you back again next year – and once again, Merry Christmas!!

M*A*S*H: "Dear Dad" (24 of 25)
Happy Christmas Eve everybody! I can't believe after today there is only one more day until Christmas and only one more episode of Sitcom All Ye Faithful! These weeks have gone by too fast, but I sure do love using old sitcom episodes to get me in the Christmas Spirit! Today I go back 50 years (and 6 days) to talk about a first season episode from the legendary series M*A*S*H - and I am so glad I did! Until tomorrow my friends....

King of the Hill: "The Unbearable Blindness of Laying" (23 of 25)
It's Friday! I hope by the time you hear this you are either preparing for vacation or on vacation now. If not - if you have to work...well that stinks - but at least you get to work while listening to this episode. Tell your patients to pipe down in their rooms so you can listen to me and my special guest star Jason talk about a 1997 episode of King of the Hill! Once you're finished - if their good - THEN you will see why they keep pressing that emergency button like a needy baby....

Saved By The Bell: "Home For Christmas: Parts 1 & 2" (22 of 25)
Happy Thursday metalheads! I just assume there are a lot of you here for today's episode because of my very special guest star - the host of Metallicast and my cousin, Brandon! Last year we talked about Boy Meets World, and this year he is joining me for another show the Emmys seemed to have ignored over the years - Saved By The Bell. A 2-part episode to boot! And if you've ever heard us talk before - things do go off the rails here and there, but the show is better for it!

Mork & Mindy: "Mork's First Christmas" (21 of 25)
Na-Nu Na-Nu Everyone! It's the last Wednesday of the season and today I watched a first season episode of Mork & Mindy from 1978 on YouTube. We get Robin Williams in all his glory as Mork experiences his first Christmas with Mindy, Mindy's father and grandmother...and Morgan Fairchild? Yup, I have no recollection of her being on the show but she in fact was! Until tomorrow!

Webster: "Simple Gifts" (20 of 25)
Good Tuesday Sitcom Fans! I've added another piece to the puzzle that is this year's theme song by watching a 1987 episode of Webster that you can watch for free right now on Pluto.tv. Webster was always an okay show, but this episode was extra special because it featured some real television royalty on it (at least in my book) - though the actor I am talking about didn't get the obligatory applause break that I think he deserved. Who is it I am talking about? Well silly - you need to go listen to learn that!

Futurama: "Xmas Story" (19 of 25)
Good news, everyone! I'm back again on my final Monday of this year to talk about the AMAZING animated sitcom, Futurama. I came late to this show, not watching it during it's original run - but I am so thrilled to have finally smartened up watched every episode (so far - because it's coming back again!)

Who's The Boss?: "The Christmas Card" (18 of 25)
Ay Oh, Oh Ay! Happy Sunday everybody! I'm back talking Christmas television and once again I am not doing it alone as I am joined by a Geek Mentality regular - my good friend since high school, Eric. We talk Who's the Boss, TV moms, and whatever pops into our heads. We also answer the age old question - who IS the boss? (Psst….It's Angela.)
21 minutes | Dec 17, 2022
Brooklyn Nine-Nine: "Yippie Kayak" (17 of 25)
Cool. Cool Cool. Cool Cool Cool Cool. This show - Brooklyn Nine-Nine - I feel like is one of the most underrated comedies of the last decade. But those of us who watched it know how fantastic it was! And if you're living a life where you don't understand what title refers too, well you're just not doing it right....Title of your sex tape.

The Office: "Secret Santa" (16 of 25)
Happy Friday Dunderheads! After 16 days, we've finally hit a series that was covered on Christmas Even last year. And yes I said "WE" because for the first time this year, I have a guest host talking Christmas television with me! Today, my friend Chris and one of my co-hosts over at Fine Movies. Fine Spirits. is joining me to talk about a FINE episode of The Office.

Maude: "The Christmas Party" (15 of 25)
And then there's day 15! After watching a lousy clip show yesterday I am thrilled to come back with a GREAT episode of a sitcom that I just did not know enough about! Another show that I need to put in the watchlist....And I have to say it - Bea Arthur is a tremendous sitcom actor. Tremendous.
22 minutes | Dec 15, 2022
Welcome Back, Kotter: "A Sweathog Christmas Special" (14 of 25)
Hi there. Welcome back, welcome back welcome back! It's day 14 and I've been wanting to do this episode since day one....but then I watched it and it was a lousy clip show! Still fun as hell to watch, but not very Christmasy at all....Signed, Epstein's Mother.

Bewitched: "A Vision of Sugar Plums" (13 of 25)
Happy Tuesday TV nerds! Today (or tonight I guess) I am here talking about a season 1 episode of a television classic, Bewitched. I haven't thought too much about it yet in comparison of the other shows, but I am thinking that this might be my favorite episode so far. Probably because we got to see Santa - yes the REAL Santa. Oh I know he made quick visit to see Gilligan before leaving them all to die on the island - but this time Santa was much, much nicer....

Barney Miller: "Christmas Story" (12 of 25)
Another week, another Monday, and another Christmas sitcom episode. This time I am going back to the 70s to the (dare I say underrated?) police station sitcom, Barney Miller. This show was not one I watched a bunch of as a kid - and it was so great! Another show I need to go back and rediscover. See you tomorrow!

That '70s Show: "The Best Christmas Ever" (11 of 25)
Happy Sunday dudes and dudettes! While I was born in the 1970s, I definitely was not a child of the 70s - definitely more the 80s (grammar school) and 90s (high school and college) - but that didn't stop me from loving this show when it first premiered...back in the 90s. Most of the main cast have gone on to have some great careers - and then there is that one fella who was doing pretty good until it came out that...well, I'll talk about it more during the show. Enjoy!

Sanford and Son: "Ebenezer Sanford" (10 of 25)
Happy Saturday you big dummy! Tonight I watched a 1975 episode of Sanford and Son and I am better for it. Sure it was another Christmas Carol spoof, and sure there was no Grady, but we still had Redd Foxx throwing insults left and right while learning the true meaning of Christmas - so it is all worth it.

The Hogan Family: “Ho, Ho, Hogans” (9 of 25)
Happy Friday Everybody! Today I am here talking about a show that I always enjoyed as a kid, but really was a fairly generic sitcom when you think about it. However, I did find this episode interesting for a couple reasons – but you’re going to have to listen before you find out what those are! Oh, and before you listen you can actually watch this episode for free on DailyMotion. Yes, DailyMotion is still a thing!

Gilligan's Island: "Birds Gotta Fly, Fish Gotta Talk" (8 of 25)
This episode should be called "How to make anything a Christmas episode without much effort." The reason I say this is - even though I enjoyed the episode, it was barely a Christmas episode. It had its Christmas-y moments, but it was more a "let's use some of that old footage we have" episode. And by old footage I mean months old - because this is still the first season!

Mr. Belvedere: "Christmas Story" (7 of 25)
These episode titles really aren't that original this year so far. Yesterday was "A Christmas Story" while today is just "Christmas Story?" I mean I guess it gets to the point without giving anything away - not that there was much mystery or intrigue to give away. You can watch this episode of Mr. Belvedere yourself on YouTube. I also mentioned a "Final Taping" BTS video from the series finale of Mr. Belvedere that I found - so check that out too.

Perfect Strangers: "A Christmas Story" (6 of 25)
Wait, did you think I was going to miss a day? Don't be ridiculous! Of course I'm here talking Christmas sitcoms again! Today I take you back to 1986 for a Christmas celebration with Balki and his cousin Larry. There's laughs! There's tears! There's a terrible snow special effect I forgot to mention on the episode! You can watch this (and every) episode of Perfect Strangers on FreeVee.
