Warner's 'Classic TV Christmas Collection' (Eight is Enough - whoo-hoo!!)
Along with Eight Is Enough (which hasn't been released on DVD yet), there's a season 3 episode of Welcome Back, Kotter, and a season 2 episode of Alice. Unfortunately, there are a lot of shows here that I never watched - so hey, I guess it'll be a new experience.
01 Dr. Kildare - "An Exchange of Gifts" (Season 4; 12/24/64) - Thinking he's about to die, a derelict alcoholic gives away his life's hoardings.
02: The Courtship of Eddie's Father - "Gifts are for Giving" (Season 2; 12/23/70) - What goes around comes around when Norman's prized medallion circulates among the cast. Although not a Christmas episode per se, this story, originally aired two days before the holiday warmly illustrates the pure joy of giving.
03: CHiPs - "Christmas Watch" (Season 3; 12/15/79) - Christmas season doesn't mean time off for Jon and Ponch when thieves steal a 500 year-old bell from a community church.
04: Eight is Enough - "Yes Nicholas, There is a Santa Claus - Parts 1 & 2" (Season 2; 12/14/77) - The Bradford's Christmas is put on hold when all the family's presents are stolen.
05: Welcome Back, Kotter - "Sweathog Christmas Special" (Season 3; 12/15/77) - Mix merriment, mistletoe and menorahs and whip up a Christmas party with the Sweathogs.
06: Alice - "A Semi-Merry Christmas" (Season 2; 12/18/77) - Alice, Tommy, Flo, Vera, and Mel spend Christmas together snowbound in a semi trailer.
07: Perfect Strangers - "The Gift of the Mypiot" (Season 4; 12/16/88) - Balki ruins Larry's holiday mood by inviting his lonely boss, Mr. Gorpley, to the their Christmas Eve party.
08: Mama's Family - "Mama Gets Goosed" (Season 6; 12/20/86) - Mama frets about cooking a live goose for Christmas dinner.
09: Veronica's Closet - "Veronica's Christmas Song " (Season 1; 12/18/97) - Veronica and Olive audition to sing at a Christmas concert at Lincoln Center.
10: Suddenly Susan - "The Walk Out" (Season 1; 12/19/96) - When Jack doesn't hand out Christmas bonuses, the staff goes on strike.

Wasn't Love, American Style added to this set as well or am I thinking of the Paramount Christmas Set?
