In reply to Cay. Indeed! I only own S1 and S2 sadly. . .but Netflix is sending me S3 and S4. . .but I have to wait a few days inbetween each disk instead of being able to watch them over and over in rapid succession. One of these days I'll buy S3 and S4.

In reply to Brandon Mallard. I definitely agree on the naming of Chuck vs the Santa Claus, because after not seeing it in forever, when I went to write this post, I confused that it was Ned wearing the suit and not Big Mike because the title didn't make sense with Big Mike wearing the costume. I'll have to re-watch Crown Vic as well as it's been a while and I always forget that it had a holiday theme - I always just remember Chuck blowing up Casey's car and Morgan with Anna's parents, but not the holiday party at Buy More.

I like Cay’s list, but I will admit that I thought “Chuck vs Santa Claus” was kind of an off-title. It would have been more fitting if Ned had in fact been dressed as Santa, or at least had a Santa hat. Or, since Big Mike was dressed as Santa, maybe they could’ve played up that significance as another B-plot to the episode. Y’know, as the “macguffen.”

All things considered, I think more accurate titles could’ve been “Chuck vs the Christmas Rush,” “Chuck vs the Grinch” or even “Chuck vs the Season’s Greetings.”

I probably would switch out “Chuck vs the Sand Worm” with “Chuck vs the Crown Vic,” as that comes to my mind when we mention holiday episodes. Specifically for reasons mentioned already, and, once “Chuck vs the Santa Suit” comes out, you could conceivably use the Christmas-themed episodes as pinpoints in Chuck and Sarah’s relationship. In “Crown Vic” they agree to be good friends, in “Santa Claus” we witness two key scenes of how much they both care about each other, and now in “Santa Suit” we’ve got them as husband and wife!

*Also like Garnet’s suggestion of including “Chuck vs the Sizzling Shrimp” as it does indeed, feature a signature Chuck holiday, if only for Chuck and Ellie at the time!

In reply to Unleash The Casey. My bad! LOL, I kind of blended the two ideas together! I clearly need to re-watch that episode sooner rather than later :) This is what happens when I write posts late at night!

Chuck vs Santa Claus is still my favourite episode of the series, let alone my favourite holiday episode.
