The 80's Christmas TV Episodes!

[@jimsydnor7878]

I always loved how Mash had 11 Christmas episodes even though the Korean war only lasted 3 years

[@Sammy_Boy_Smith]

I guess it was Kwanza, Hanjukuh and Chrimbus too.

[@benefactr1840]

I miss when tvland would take a day or weekend and show all of these Christmas shows from 70's, 80's during the holidays.

[@stevegallo8483]

Those specials made by Rankin Bass (Rudolph, A Year Without a Santa Claus and Santa Claus Is Coming to Town) were made in stop motion animation. My favorite show, Married...with Children, had some good Christmas episodes. There was the one where Santa came down in a parachute and crashed in the Bundy's backyard, and then there was the two-part episode the next year titled "It's a Bundyful Life" which was their version of It's a Wonderful Life, with Sam Kinison playing Al's guardian angel. (And don't forget that Kelly played by Christina Applegate was smoking hot then.)

[@Sammy_Boy_Smith]

Yeah.... AL got electrocuted by faulty Xmas lights. Lol And Al See's the past present n future. The Future Peggy re married to a new d bag yuppy guy ( played by soon to be Jefferson) . I was actually depressed when that shie ended. Anyways.... Sigh

[@Sammy_Boy_Smith]

Oh .... And Kelly ( Christiana A. ) was still fn hot up until just a few years ago B4 she got MS and got tubby . Poor thing

[@NarnianRailway]

A good Christmas episode was Family Ties adaptation of A Christmas Carol and Alex (Michael J Fox) as Scrooge visited by ghosts.

[@neon-maniac]

I watch Pee Wee’s Playhouse Christmas special every year. Along with Rudolph, Frosty, Garfield, Peanuts, Gremlins and Christmas Vacation.

[@francoisregis2155]

Ahhhh Griswald a classic

[@stephenthomas1492]

God bless all of you who grew up in America in the 80s. I feel TERRIBLE that kids today won't know what it's like to grow up in a homogeneous society with everyone celebrating Christmas, fantastic toys, no cell-phones, store decorations, and holiday tv specials. I wonder sometimes if it's just because I've gotten older, but I feel like a lot has changed besides myself. The spirit of Christmas just doesn't seem to be as strong nowadays.

[@Sammy_Boy_Smith]

I call kids/Gen Y-A the: Crooked neck Gen. Cuz everyone one of em's next is always bent down with chin on chest, texting away on their cells. It's fn stupid, I'll just stop n look around, n there's dozens of ppl with chains on chest The airport ..... !!!! LMAO. I'll sit at my terminal, n watch everyone walk by.

[@tperson8347]

Every Christmas, my dad sets up his old (G.I.JOE) Shipwreck figure next to the manger in the nativity scene and sends us the pictures. :)

[@MarshalTennerWinter]

Todd Bridges went from shooting a series to a series of shootings. Am i rite?

[@Sammy_Boy_Smith]

He turned it around tho late 90's.

[@3Storms]

The ones I remember the most are the Married With Children episode where parachute Santa crashes in Al's backyard, so he plays Santa while the body is hauled off, and the Magnum PI episode where Magnum, TC, Rick, and Higgins are stranded on an island.

[@stephenthomas1492]

I really miss the anticipation involved with waiting for shows of the Christmas season. There didn't seem to be as many distractions and you just KNEW that everyone else was watching those same shows at the same time. It gave us all a commonality that's missing in the present today. Campfire television, where the whole family sat around the same television set. Those were the days.

[@jimsydnor7878]

and don't forget the one where Sam Kinison was Al's guardian angel

[@candacecherry2846]

I remember these

[@tperson8347]

In the very beginning, Christmas resembled Halloween in many aspects, from horror of the macabre to intense images such as Pagan creatures and stories of witches. So, murder is not too much of a stretch in terms of Christmas themes. :) Thanks for the video

[@Sammy_Boy_Smith]

Yup. I don't think Jesus would approve really. I mean, the origins is evil, but the purpose of it is of family n love So I guess the bad holiday was turned good.

[@jlindsey241]

TJ Hooker? ? More like Merry Shatmas!!!!! LOL

[@tylerpemberton3134]

A 24 hour junkman watches 80's Christmas specials coming soon...

[@mikemonk4375]

You forgot “The great Santa Clause chase”. Remember when Boss Hogg hired a couple crooks to steal the Christmas trees the Duke boys were delivering so he could frame them, but the crooks double cross Boss Hogg and steal his money out of his safe, and the Duke boys have to get it back? And then at the end Boss Hogg shows up at the Duke farm on Christmas Eve, with a big ole’ fruit basket, and asks the Dukes if they could spare a little Christmas cheer?

[@francoisregis2155]

Still watching it every years plus the movie where john schneider and tom wopat drive a truck to alaska for christmas miracle at willow creek? Can’t remember the title

[@dakert40]

6M$M--Bionic Christmas. Bridget Loves Bernie Christmas episode. 2 off the top of my head

[@hediho-ry6rs]

Oh man Erin Gray was a Christmas 🎄 gift to every young boy in the 80’s I still watch Buck Rodgers to see her in those jump suits 😛😳🥰😋🥳

[@Sammy_Boy_Smith]

I know what present I wanted laid under my tree every year! Never got it tho 😢

[@tperson8347]

I'm not a Christmas guy, but that ALF Christmas movie was actually good. I was really surprized.

[@Sammy_Boy_Smith]

The black guy was none other than: Clevon Little- the Sheriff in - Blazing Saddles. " What ... ' he's a ..... ' " ! Love that movie

[@francoisregis2155]

Oh I should rewatch Alf

[@ciscodeer9094]

I remember the Simpsons Christmas episode.

[@Sammy_Boy_Smith]

Yeah.... There's 32 of em to watch.

[@ciscodeer9094]

@Sammy_Boy_Smith between you and me the Simpsons need a series finale, but that ain't happening.

[@francoisregis2155]

Best years of the Simpsons season 1 to 12 the rest trash simpson should end Family guy season 1 xmas special a classic

[@NintendoSuperstar93]

The ALF Christmas special is good, but kind of sad. I like the He-Man Christmas special and the Hanna-Barbera ones like The Flintstones and Yogi Bear.

[@user-ed4fv9nd3b]

Remember Moonlighting? They had two Christmas episodes, but I think the Season 3 episode titled "It's a Wonderful Job," originally aired December 16, 1986 is one of the best Christmas episodes of any TV show I've ever seen.

[@benfromthebunker9621]

While the 80s had the beat animated christmas specials, the pinnacle of live action christmas episodes was from the 90s. Walker Texas ranger had Hulk hogan change the lives of kids as a former convict through the power of christmas.

[@kennethhill-d1g]

I’m surprised you didn’t mention the Sanford and Son Scrooge parody where Lamont was all the ghosts and kept saying “Come with me”!

[@francoisregis2155]

Was a great time to grow up in the 70’s 80’s Im still watching christmas special especially the Dukes of hazzard christmas special and the Starsky and Hutch christmas special

[@NABOOFISHERMAN]

STRAIGHT OUTTA JUNKMAS......JUNK JUNK AND MORE JUNK

[@garzilla7123]

My all time favorite Sitcom Christmas Episode is from December 20, 1987 from the Second Season of Married With Children, You Better Watch Out. A mall Santa🎅 is supposed to parachute into the Lakeside Mall, which is a competing mall with New Market Mall where Al works and the Santa 🎅 gets blown off course and his parachute doesn't open and he splats down in the Bundy's backyard, and of course Al has to save the day for the neighborhood kids. And even when everything seems the most bleak Al even saves Christmas for the Bundy's too. 🌲🎅🙂👍👍👍

[@ChrisRoth1972]

Mt Dew is my favorite soft drink.Actually it’s Diet Mt Dew! I fully enjoyed this video! I learned so much I didn’t know about Mt Dew. Thank You for the video!

[@ThatJunkman]

Mine too!

[@JohnSwindells-zm4sq]

Hey Junkman I guess Yule be watching some of episodes and thanks for a great video 😊

[@Sammy_Boy_Smith]

One thing i hate/d about cartoon xmas & Holiday Specials: the ppl don't age, yet the Simpsons had 32 Xmas's ! Lol South Park aged their character's twice now. So it's more realistic. I wish all toons would age their characters a lil. Family Guy: Meg was 15 when show started. Chris was like 16. But cuz the show wanted to sexualize Meg, they had to turn her 18. But Chris stated 16 I guess? Lol Not that most ppl notice or give to Fux , but i do!

[@qwaurk985]

Junkman, have you seen the new Indiana Jones game coming out?

[@ThatJunkman]

not in person but son is coming over to get it on his PC

[@qwaurk985]
