Decent, but never took off

Not a classic episode. Some pretty good laughs. But no signature classic scenes. Every situation was a little disappointing. Christmas gifts shopping and Bob's struggling to find the right one, and finally exchanges of gifts I remember being done better in other TBNS episodes centered on Christmas.

The usually hilarious patients were more annoying at the failed party than funny for the most part. Harvey J. Goldenberg as Barry Gorman was a Woody Allen clone which was oddly interesting.

Even though only an okay TBNS episode is a thousand times better than any TV made today. So, the episode was still very enjoyable to watch despite not being one of the series best.

Trivia
This and other Christmas-oriented episodes are omitted from some syndication packages.

Goofs
There is a breeze blowing in the apartment when Bob first returns. Wrapping paper and tinsel are blowing in the breeze.

Quotes
Barry Gorman: [after his car is towed away] You know, something? I'm not leaving. I'm not gonna spend Christmas Eve in a police garage. I just spent Thanksgiving there.
