The Sitcom Study

Sanford and Son bring Dickens to the junkyard, Sophia makes the perfect Tiny Tim, and Mr. Belvedere gets a lot of use out of the old-timey sleeping cap and night gown that he already owned... This week's trope is episodes that spoof "A Christmas Carol!"

Here's what we're watching:

• The Odd Couple S1 E12 "Scrooge Gets an Oscar"


• Sandford & Son S5 E12 "Ebenezer Sanford"


• Mr Belvedere S6 E11 "A Happy Guy's Christmas"


• Golden Palace S1 E12 "It’s Beginning to Look a Lot (Less) Like Christmas"
