“Abed’s Uncontrollable Christmas”/”Regional Holiday Music”
Patrick’s Day in a bar, but the sixth season of “Cheers” delivered a surprisingly tender take on the winter holiday season when Sam (Ted Danson) scrambled to score a last minute gift for Rebecca (Kirstie Alley) after learning everyone else had, a gaggle of Santas - one of whom was thought for a split second to be the real deal - congregate to celebrate the end of their busy season, and a turn from nay-sayer to a believer in Frasier (Kelsey Grammer). It may seem depressing to spend any holiday other than St. In truth, the cabin was a fiction, with the men (Jon Hamm’s Matt and Rafe Spall’s Joe) doomed to be trapped by various futuristic technologies.īuffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar) hopes for a quiet Christmas in this Season 3 episode, but she doesn’t get what she wants as Angel is visited by ghosts of his past -including Jenny Calendar (Robia LaMorte). Two men were seemingly living in a cabin, reflecting on the mistakes of their lives that led them to where they were - isolated - in the world. Though the weather outside appeared perfect for a journey through winter wonderland, in true “Black Mirror” form, there was something much darker afoot in this extended second season episode. Ultimately, everyone hates the options, and Dre and Rainbow (Tracee Ellis Ross) cave and try to have “secret Christmas” in the walk-in closet upstairs, but nothing is truly fixed until the family all learns to see the holiday from each others’ points of view.
This allows his mother (Jenifer Lewis) to swoop in and attempt to do her version, which revolves on the religious aspects, while Pops (Laurence Fishburne) tries to bring back the Christmases of Dre’s youth, when all he could afford was a bucket of fast food chicken. The second season of ABC’s family comedy took on two versions of the holiday season when Dre (Anthony Anderson) gets fed up with his kids only caring about the commercial side to Christmas and decides to cancel the holiday. Things at the Bluth Company Christmas party go off the rails thanks to a sexual harassment speech given by Gob (Will Arnett), and Michael (Jason Bateman) and Maeby (Alia Shawkat) singing “Afternoon Delight” - a song that definitely shouldn’t be sung by an uncle and niece. Of course in doing so, he learns just how special his mother made his childhood celebrations, while Liz (Fey) learns her own lesson about giving when she signs up for the “Letters to Santa” program to deliver toys to underprivileged youths. In a desperate attempt to avoid his mother at the holiday, Jack (Alec Baldwin) decides to put a live Christmas special on-air - and he enlists the “TGS” staff to do it.

This wasn’t the first holiday episode of Tina Fey and Robert Carlock’s behind-the-scenes at a variety series NBC comedy, and it wasn’t the last, but what sets it apart from the others is how the show embraced the creation of a holiday variety special within the episode.
