Finally, the pick of the week. I’m going with Newsradio: The Complete Series. It’s not very seasonal, but it’s one of the most intelligently written sitcoms ever to hit the air.

Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter is a terribly low budget turd that pushes over to the side of being amusing. That said, I’m not sure anything higher than VHS would make any difference ;-)
Newsradio
I love that show. And it is too seasonal, there’s at lease ONE christmas episode! And a halloween one!
