When it comes to sitcom holiday episodes, there’s not much that can beat, Turkey’s Away, perhaps the one episode of WKRP In Cincinnati that even people who were not alive when the show aired are familiar with.
For those of you who haven’t seen it, here’s the Hulu version. Unfortunately, thanks to copyright issues I believe that much of the music originally featured on this episode has been replaced, nonetheless it’s still worth watching:

WKRP was videotaped, not filmed….it means the original music licenses were much cheaper (without future use allowed), and no one feels compelled to pay for them now. A famous quirk of that show. Btw, my personal brush with celebrity is that Loni Anderson co-starred with my Dad in a community theater production…in 1968.
I used that episode in my winning a caption contest here ten months ago.
“there never was a bad WKRP episode.”
One of my favs is the first when Howard Hesseman, at precisely midnight when the station changed from Classical to Rock, dropped the dulcet tones of the classical music DJ and became Doctor Johnny Fever.
