User blog comment:JeremyCreek/TV Shows That Never Got Christmas Episodes/@comment-2020154-20171014141300

I don't have enough info yet, but while The original Munsters in-series never had an Xmas episode, The Munsters Today had "It's A Wonderful Afterlife" featuring Herman in the George Bailey role. I'm not sure if it was X-mas related, though its broadcast date was early November, so it's at least a possibility.

I remember badly anticipating Christmas 1976. It was a Saturday, so I figured, using 10-year old logic, that all the Saturday Morning cartoons would be Christmas episodes/specials. Not only not so, but that was the weekend they began re-runs. Not like today, where a new 'season' might emerge soon enough, but no new cartoons at all until September, and this in a time when new syndication cartoons were really not a thing at all. At best, you might get old cartoons in local syndication that you had never seen before.

To my memory, very few of the major syndie cartoons from the 80's had Xmas eps. For the ones adapted from Japanese cartoons, unless they themselves had one, it was not going to happen here. For GoLion/Voltron, this would have been next to impossible, since GoLion started with WW3 on Earth.
