Eureka – Do You See What I Seeĭirected by Matt Hastings, written by Amy Berg & Eric Tuchman It’s such likeable material, though, corny jokes and all: warm, sentimental and surprisingly amusing. It will come as no surprise to learn that these stories coalesce, there’s some festive drama, and every character is thoroughly versed in the true reason for the season by the end of the third act. (Throughout the list, I’ve noted other strong festive entries from the shows featured.)Ĭhristmas Movies: A Complete Holiday Streaming Guide By Alec BojaladĪs such, we meet Zack, Kelly, Screech, Lisa, Slater and Jessie not in the school corridor, but at the Bayside Mall, where vaguely festive shenanigans are going down: Zack’s found a girl he likes, there’s a town production of A Christmas Carol, Kelly’s got a job at Moody’s Store for Men, and Screech is momentarily perplexed by a homeless man shaving in the mall bathroom. But even with a hundred-item list, there are so many great episodes that just couldn’t quite make the cut this rule seemed like the fairest way to spread the love. The toughest of all the restrictions – so many great, long-running TV shows have spent several Christmases with us. As I set out to compile this list of the all-time greatest Christmas TV classics, it quickly became clear that a few ground rules were required, so as to prevent the project from becoming too unwieldy: “A few” is one thing, but a top 100? That’s a whole other ballgame. Either way, Christmas episodes tend to demonstrate the strengths of our favorite series, and it’s long been a festive ritual of mine to wheel out old DVD sets and settle back for a few favorites during December.
Some shows embrace the season wholeheartedly, characters in good spirits and enjoying the trappings of the season others skew a little darker, bringing the more oppressive, burdensome side of the holidays to life. We grow invested in our friends on screen over the years spending Christmas with them is a rite of passage, a chance for us to share tradition from our world with the fictional ones we see on screen. Viewers have enjoyed sharing holidays with their favorite television characters since the medium’s infancy.
