TV Media: Christmas Special

Greetings! Welcome one and all to the TV Media Christmas Spectacular! Or something like that, everyone else gets to have a Christmas special, why not me?

What I have done is collect a number of Christmas-themed television episodes and clips and gathered them together under the TV Media banner in the hopes of providing a tiny bit of Christmas cheer to anyone who should happen to stop by. Hopefully you will enjoy the bits I have gathered and that they give you a little smile during this season of cheer!

Sesame Street - "I Hate Christmas"

It has been forever since I've watched Sesame Street, and with good reason. However, when I see something called "I Hate Christmas" and it features Oscar the Grouch, how can I say no? This clip features the garbage can dweller singing about how much he dislikes the mushy holiday spirit.

DirecTV - Christmas Commercial

This Spanish-language commercial for DirecTV is random, odd, and highly amusing. It features a collection of horror icons (mostly) doing things that are decidedly out of character.

How I Met Your Mother - "Barney's Christmas Jingles"

When this episode aired recently, I have to say that Barney's (Neil Patrick Harris) off the cuff variations on holiday tunes were hilarious — delightfully off-color and eminently sing-alongable. There is no way you can watch this and not laugh.

The Office - "Moroccan Christmas"

From the opening with Jim's specially gift wrapped present for Dwight, to Meredith setting her hair on fire, there is nothing quite like an Office Christmas. This series is quite funny, and one of the best things is the lack of a laugh track.

A Garfield Christmas

How can anyone not love Garfield? Each year households all over are treated to the airing of a series of fat cat-centric holiday-themed specials capped with the Christmas special. I thought I would help you achieve the goal of seeing this. These clips on YouTube don't look half bad. Enjoy!
