Summary

It's just the three of us for our EHG "holiday episode" -- a meditation on the theme of Christmas creep. And yeah, they DO start playing carols in the mall on, like, November 2 these days...but that's not exactly the definition "creep" that became central to our discussion as we contemplated a Hill Street Blues that contained literally all the acting, plus plenty of judgment of singletons; an All In The Family double episode in which a hate crime led to a lengthy crisis of faith for Edith, who was not that crime's victim; and a Pickle & Peanut segment that abandoned us all in the Uncanny Valley. So when we say "Christmas creep," get ready to shudder as you deck the halls with a very special Extra Hot Great.

0:47.4	Welcome to Extra Hot Great. We are pre-taping this episode. It is a non-regulation episode because of a week off taken.
1:00.6	So that means if you placed a bet on this episode, it is moot. Correct. So for this episode, we are returning to the concept of a round the horn foresening, which we haven't done in a while for each other, actually.
1:16.1	And because it is now December, but as this episode drops still early in December, my concept for our theme was Christmas creep.
1:24.5	Of course, we all know what Christmas creep is.
1:26.3	It's when, you know, jingle bells and shit start showing up in stores in, like,

1:41.5	And let us start with my foreseenening which was forcened upon me by
1:46.8	Sarah de bunting. Sarah, tell us why you chose for me to watch the season three episode 12,
1:53.2	uh, episode of Hill Street Blues called Santa Claus Trophobia. Um, yes, that, that title is terrible. Um, and that's why it leaped out at me in the list, uh,
2:05.0	which I was furnished of, um, TV's Christmas episodes across history.
2:10.9	Such a long list too. Yeah. And this may be the longest single word title. Um, I was a big
