I was originally supposed to cover episode 10, season one of Alias titled “Spirit” but it wasn’t available for purchase on Amazon or iTunes, so I decided instead to cover Thursday night’s outstanding episode of Community. In “Abed’s Uncontrollable Christmas,” the episode is done entirely in stop-motion animation, giving it the feel of the classic holiday specials like Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer. What’s so great about this episode is not only the wonderful animation, but the fact that it dives into some of the deeper meanings of what Christmas and what the Christmas season is all about, while also remembering some of the other aspects, like how important family is. The episode connected with me on a deeper emotional level, and even though it’s is only two days old, I feel very strongly about how truly wonderful and special this is. So, take a chance on this episode, it may surprise you just how much you end up enjoying it.

Official Description:

When Abed (DANNY PUDI) wakes up in stop-motion animation, he takes it as a sign that he and the group must re-discover the meaning of Christmas. Meanwhile, Jeff (JOEL MCHALE) and Britta (GILLIAN JACOBS) become growingly concerned about Abed’s mental health and enlist the help of Professor Duncan (JOHN OLIVER). The group undergoes hypnosis to explore Abed’s winter wonderland and soon unravel the truth behind Abed’s madness. Chevy Chase, Donald Glover, Alison Brie, Yvette Nicole Brown, and Ken Jeong also star.

Join us tomorrow for a classic holiday episode of 30 Rock and let us know what you thought of “Abed’s Uncontrollable Christmas.”
