TV Talk Friday-Christmas Themed

Well I think most of the shows I watch have showed their Fall finales or Christmas themed episodes.

My faves...

How I Met Your Mother-We had some Robin drama but how sweet was Ted with the ACDC Christmas light show?  The Marshall trapped on the roof story line was just OK.

Parks and Recreation-AMAZING.  Leslie's gifts to everyone were awesome.  (These are the Black Eyed Peas and this is me killing them.)  But the ending was amazing.  I might have shed a single tear. Ron Swanson is one of my favorite TV characters ever.  "Ron Swanson. Any other damn thing you might need."  I want to inspire people like Leslie does.  She's pretty much my idol now.

New Girl-I loved that Jess bought all her roomies roller skates.  Candy Cane Lane at the end was pretty nice too.  Plus they were playing the She & Him Christmas CD at the end which I have been listening to in my car all week.

Community-Community went all Glee on us and it was pretty funny.  I like how they kept referring to Regionals.  I think I liked last year's stop motion animation episode slightly better though.

My not as much faves...

Although it pains me to write this....
The Office-Christmas was rough without Michael Scott but without Pam too it was just too much to take.  I did like the Jim and Dwight stuff though.

Glee-I just wasn't into this.  I guess the black and white stuff was supposed to be semi-funny and a homage to other Christmas specials but I thought some of the songs were just too long and not that great.  I fast forwarded through a couple.  I guess I'm a hater.  The end with Rachel and Finn exchanging gifts was nice though.

What did you think about this year's batch of holiday episodes?

And what is you favorite holiday themed episode of all time?

I will always hold the first couple Office Christmas episodes close to my heart.  Remember when Jim bought Pam the teapot in Secret Santa or when Michael had to mark his "new girlfriend" on the arm to remember which Asian girl she was in a Benihana Christmas?
Friends had a few good ones.  Remember Ross as the Holiday Armadillo?
And I think I recall enjoying the Chrismukkah eps of The OC.
There was also that really deep My So-Called Life episode featuring special guest star Juliana Hatfield.  I remember being obsessed with that for awhile.
