Best of the best.

This episode is the one of the best of the entire series. The interaction of the crew and the innovation of the musicals made it extremely enjoyable. "The Alan Brady Song" is one of the best songs written for a sitcom. The songs in general were written around the holiday and made an impression on our whole family...we still sing a lot of them, and laugh whenever we see the episode at Christmastime. It NEVER gets old and never goes out of style. The writing and total theme of this particular episode were not only funny at the time of the original showing, but it is timeless in respect to it's continued comedic content. As I said, the best of the best episodes OF ALL TIME!!!!moreless

ADD NOTES
- Unlike the other episodes that take place behind the scenes, this one is presented as an actual holiday installment of 'The Alan Brady Show'. Sally performs the comic number 'Santa, Send a Fella'. She also disrupts Buddy's attempt at a cello solo with her unwanted piano playing. Richie performs 'The Little Drummer Boy' while Rob and Laura ham it up as flirting, dancing Santas. The highlight features Rob, Laura, Buddy and Sally performing 'I Am a Fine Musician' and a tribute to Alan Brady with the 'Alan Brady' song, led by Rob
