Christmas episodes of any television show are a writer's gimme -- simply take Dickens' "A Christmas Carol," insert Fred Flintstone (or other grumpy sitcom star) in for Scrooge, then take the rest of the week off. The Christmas Special -- the differently abled cousin of the Christmas episode -- gives networks the chance to fulfill contractual obligations to any celebrities it has hanging out on the lot -- say, The Carpenters, Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson, Harvey Korman, and Kristy McNichol.
