Wanted to catch my very real, instant reaction to the brand new Superman teaser trailer. So far all I can say is, thank you James Gunn! If you're just hearing the audio you can view the video on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UCUECQ5H_I

Guess who’s back? Back again. Jason’s back! My old friend! Yes, to mark our over 30 years of friendship by pal Jay is back for the 4th year in a row to Sitcom All Ye Faithful – and for the 3rd year in a row he has handpicked an episode of King of the Hill to watch!

Did you know that while Mondays are notoriously Garfield’s least favorite days – they are in fact the legendary Burt Reynolds’ favorite days. I totally made that up – but you only know that if you’ve read this far. I’ve loved Burt since first seeing him as the Bandit and then when he was trying to win the Cannonball Run – but I’ve never seen an episode of this show until now (unless you count walking by my grandparents having it on at their beach cottage). And you can partake in Sitcom All Ye Faithful today as well since this episode is available on Youtube! Show Title: Evening Shade Episode Title: “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” Original Air Date: December 21, 1992 Season: 3 Episode: 12

Happy Sunday Christmas Spinsters! I told you Michael J. Fox would be back - and the theme song never lies - well almost never lies (we can ignore that whole Jeannie thing that I keep bringing up, right?) Today I watched a 1997 Christmas episode of Spin City and I am glad that I did - a whole lot of fun and I laughed out loud multiple times. The cool thing is, while Spin City isn't streaming anywhere officially, thankfully someone posted it online so you can watch the full episode right now on Dailymotion. Yes, apparently Dailymotion still exists - another Sitcom All Ye Faithful miracle!

Happy Saturday Night Christmaseers!…Today I went in with a plan to watch a specific show – and that terrible episode of the terrible show turned out not to even be a Christmas episode! The Christmas Special Wiki lies! Thankfully I quickly pivoted to a show already on my list – a show that my wife and I loved when it was originally on and I can happily say it still holds up and it is still great. Fear not sitcom fans, The Middle saved Sitcom All Ye Faithful! Show Title: The MiddleEpisode Title: “The Christmas Tree”Original Air Date: December 11, 2013Season: 5Episode: 9

There’s…No Place Like Home! And there’s no time like Christmas! Happy Friday everybody! Today I go back to 1985 to a show I used to love but haven’t watched in decades. So for today’s Sitcom All Ye Faithful celebration, let’s go hang out with our friends at 227 as they get ready for the big Christmas pageant!

Happy Thursday Christmas nerds!! Today I went back to the 90s and back specifically again to 1993. This time I watched an episode of a show I never watched growing up but after seeing this episode I think I missed out all these years! At least I was smart enough to finally watch one for Sitcom All Ye Faithful! Show Title: CoachEpisode Title: “Christmas of the Van Damned”Original Air Date: December 14, 1993Season: 6Episode: 12

It’s Day 4! Today I decide to back a long time and watch an episode of a show I’d never seen before. I went back to the early 60s to see Ernest Borgnine and Tim Conway spread holiday cheer in McHale’s Navy. Love it when an old sitcom lives up to the hype. Another successful day of Sitcom All Ye Faithful! This episode is available to stream right now on YouTube!
