December 18 Christmas Past Christmas PresentFive days to go until Christmas and we have all kinds of animated specials as well as "Clash of the Choirs." I have to say, I prefer low key Christmas specials. So I present to you a list of my five favorite Christmas "specials." They're not specials so much as Oh So Very Special Christmas Episodes of regular shows. All of these episodes have a medium level of Christmas - there might be singing, but it won't be carols. Enjoy! 1. "Arrested Development," Afternoon Delight Gob's $2,400 pants, Ann's family's Chrismas party and everybody doing karaoke duets of "Afternoon Delight?" Yup. That's Christmas Bluth style. And nobody better flirt with Lindsay. The link takes you to the full episode. Merry Christmas! 2. "How I Met Your Mother," Arrivederci, Fiero "No food or drink in the Fiero!" Even if it almost gets you killed. Watch college Ted and college Marshall go from roommates who don't really like each other to BFF over Christmas break. Once again, the link gets you the whole 23 minutes. 3. "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," Amends This episode is lots of people's favorite. It's probably the most Christmas-y of the bunch, too, if you get right down to it. Maybe The First Evil mitigates the cheese factor? Besides, isn't it great when a white - therefore cloudy -Christmas means the vampire you're secretly in love with doesn't have to die? 4. "House, M.D." Merry Little Christmas Remember when Wilson turned House in for his pill popping? "No matter how much of an ass he is, statistically, House is a positive force in the universe. The pills let him do that." Yeah, right. This episode tells a real Christmas story: lies, fractured friendships, addiction. It all worked out in the end, though. (It is "House" after all.)
5. "The Office," A Benihana Christmas This one slides in at number five not because it wasn't funny...it was just a little bloated. Maybe that's just the grinch in me. You have to love it when Michael marks his date's arm so he can tell her apart from her friend. And there's more karaoke! That's three out of five, if you're keeping score. - Posted by Kate Comments (4)
