The Simpson’s: Tis the Fifteenth Season
OK, it’s only September so I’m a bit curious why they decided to show a Simpson’s episode that was Christmas based already (I’m really not ready to do Christmas shopping yet). But, I will admit it was kind of a decent episode.

The Virginian: Show Me a Hero TV Show

The Twilight Zone: I Shot an Arrow into the Air TV Show
