Stick a sprig of holly through it's electric heart (Part II)

(Sorry once again for the delay - I'm very behind in my holiday shopping this year.)

Sometimes TV is your only friend, so why not have another marathon of Christmas themed episodes.


Have Yourself a Very Little Christmas   The Golden Girls - . -



This is the last time Stan's third wife, Katherine, is mentioned on the show. We never find out when they divorce before Stan and Dorothy date, again, and almost re-marry in the sixth season.


Christmas and the Hard Luck Kid    That Girl -



Christopher Shea, the child-actor playing Tommy, is best known as the voice of Linus in A Charlie Brown Christmas, It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, and several other Peanuts specials. At the time this episode was broadcast, Shea was also a regular cast member in the short-lived Western series Shane.


Christmas and the Hard Luck Kid II   The Mary Tyler Moore Show  -



James L. Brooks, the writer of the That Girl episode,Christmas and the Hard-Luck Kid wrote a sequel (of sorts) for this The Mary Tyler Moore Show episode, the sitcom's first Christmas special.


Birds Gotta Fly, Fish Gotta Talk   Gilligan's Island -



This episode used footage from the original unaired pilot episode. The scene where the skipper awakens to find the ship beached shows several actors sleeping on deck that were not retained from the pilot.


Bob Has to Have His Tonsils Out, So He Spends Christmas ...   The Bob Newhart Show
-



When Bob returns to his room immediately following his surgery, you can see a gold chain around his neck under his hospital gown. This is an error in authenticity as patients are required to remove all jewelry before surgery.



Hope you finish you holiday shopping sooner than I apparently am going to

Demand Euphoria!
