By all accounts, this episode really shouldn’t have worked. I mean, come on, a “Christmas Carol” tie-in? With Peter being the token grump of the group who can’t get into the spirit? It so easily could’ve bombed, but instead, it turns out to be a highly …

I can’t say that I’m a big fan of That Girl: Great Guy. It’s a show that aired towards the end of the second season and featured Ruth Buzzi, who has a recurring role as Margie ‘Pete’ Peterson. Buzzi is a talented comedienne, but this role really …
