Charlie Brown, by the way, had at least 3 Christmas specials, 2 Thanksgiving, 2 Halloween, and several others like Easter and Valentine's Day.

And while I own hundreds of TV sets, the episodes are rarely labeled on the packaging, and sometimes not named something obviously Thanksgiving or Christmas. So it is going to take some googling to figure out just what holiday episodes I have access too.
But I probably won't do that this year, as I have a backlog of Christmas movies and specials that I will not possibly come close to finishing.

I only know of 1 Thanksgiving Charlie Brown, what's the other one? Same with the Halloween.

The other Halloween one is possibly a stretch. There was an election episode that took place during Halloween, with lots of stuff about the Great Pumpkin. I haven't seen it for awhile, but I remember it being successfully argued a Halloween episode before.

There were also many other Charlie Brown specials some not on DVD yet.
There are at least 4 Christmas specials. (copied from Wikipedia)
Three lesser-known true sequels were produced decades after the 1965 original. All three are 30 minutes in length (with commercials) and aired on CBS Television:
* It's Christmastime Again, Charlie Brown (1992; released to DVD as a bonus feature with A Charlie Brown Christmas)
* Charlie Brown's Christmas Tales (2002; released to DVD as a bonus feature with I Want a Dog for Christmas, Charlie Brown)
* I Want a Dog for Christmas, Charlie Brown (2003)
Also,there was a New Year Special, Happy New Year, Charlie Brown!

It's still a Thanksgiving episode... I'm cheating and doing a bunch of Christmas stuff now. I just want to fluff up my list with TV episodes so I can feel better about possibly actually finishing this.

Spoiler:
Seems like a pretty strong Thanksgiving connection (albeit in a distinctly ATHF kind of way).

They just happen to have the dinner a week after.

Besides, "Although the movie or TV show doesn't have to be holiday oriented, the movie or TV show must take place during the holiday season for at least 75% of the movie."
So basically, any movie that takes place in December counts.
Yes, that means Pearl Harbor almost counts.

Yeah, that ATFH episode definitely counts, looking forward to watching it.
Anyone remember if there are any other Adult Swim holiday episodes? I know the Venture Brothers Christmas episode, and the few mentioned above, but perhaps there were more?

I am officially changing my goal from 65 to 100 though

But 500 won't come close to winning , FusionX is here.
But seriously, I hope, I just happened to have lots of free time the last couple of days.
I am definitely not going to keep up the pace. I was just going thru my collection and kept finding stuff to watch. I was also obviously following your all examples, as most of what I watched was taken from your lead ("I learned it by watching you ok ?! I learned it by watching you!"). I was surprised at how much stuff is available online (free and legal to be specific; everything is available online).

Trevor and Rob you guys are doing great! I would be too if this semester didn't suck ass and if I actually liked Thanksgiving stuff, which I'm not a fan of, I started this challenge because I LOVE Christmas stuff, so after a few days past Thanksgiving I'll start having som real fun.
Keep up the good work guys!

My stupid compulsive nature has kept me from starting this off. I watched the two seasons of The Office UK last week and have the two-part special on tap, but decided it would probably be better to do a Thanksgiving show to start. So I was going to start with Mad About You, but the first Thanksgiving episode is only 11 episodes into the first season and I've been meaning to watch the series sometime soon anyway (I picked up Season 3 earlier this year but haven't had a chance to watch it yet), so now I'm 8 episodes into the 1st season. I'm going to have to break myself of this to jump ahead to the 3rd season episode so hopefully that will free me from this cycle.

From the list thread:
So, watching the movie/show again with commentary counts? What if I just listen to the commentary?
