Although fans have bid adieu to the weekly release of The Office episodes, the show never truly went away—over the years, Steve Carell’s sitcom has been living through syndication, streaming services, podcasts, and more. But you’ll be stunned to know that when The Office debuted in 2005 on NBC, the sitcom was inches close to getting canceled due to low ratings.

Apparently, there weren’t a lot of expectations surrounding the show, as it was considered yet another American reworking that would destroy the originality of Ricky Gervais’ BBC series. Moreover, there was only one renowned face in the series, and it was Steve Carell, playing Michael Scott. But then, one particular episode from season 2, saved the sitcom earning nearly 10M viewers, leading it to finally make history.

During the collab, Craig Robinson and Rainn Wilson couldn’t resist tossing around a few wild spinoff ideas in an interview, one of which took a hilariously dark turn!
Rainn Wilson’s dark idea for The Office resurrection
Every core member of The Office, one of the greatest shows to ever grace the television screens, spent nearly nine years bringing their iconic characters to life. Slipping back into those roles, however, is a double-edged sword. While they might love to revisit those days, most aren’t exactly eager to do so, and for several quite understandable reasons (which we’ll get into shortly...

Let's take a look at some of the best Christmas episodes we've ever seen.
1. "The Christmas Party" - The Office The first (and best) Christmas-themed episode of The Office. Michael forces everyone in the office to partake in a yankee swap after he's unhappy with his secret santa gift. It's also the episode where Jim panics about Pam getting her gift, and takes back his letter before she can read it. 2. "The Best Christmas Story Never" - American Dad Coming around the time when the political correctness of holiday season was entering the national debate, this episode starts out as a politicized send-up of "The Christmas Carol" but morphs into a trippy time travel adventure as Stan's ditzy ghost of Christmas past (played by Lisa Kudrow in one of the season's bests roles) accidentally alters the timeline and Stan has to redo the Reagen Assassination to save Christmas in the present.

Another Christmas has come and gone, and the debate rages on. Is Die Hard a Christmas movie? Many believe it is, while others argue that it is not. So, one fan reached out to the ultimate source of the action classic's creation, writer Steven E. de Souza. And yup, he finally has the definitive answer for us.
No matter where you stand on the argument, it is officially over once and for all. Die Hard is 100% a Christmas movie. Like it. Or not. This burning question can now be put to bed, as fans continue to debate whether or not Gremlins and Iron Man 3 are also Christmas movies.

Ranked: The 50 Best Christmas-Themed TV Episodes Ever Some of TV’s greatest holiday episodes are uplifting, some are packed with harsh realities, but the best episodes give us a little bit of everything. By Kelsea Stahler 50. Robot Chicken - Robot Chicken Christmas Special (2005) When Adult Swim first premiered Robot Chicken, it was a new entirely insane take on all the nerdiest corners of pop culture and the Season 1 Christmas episode did not disappoint. Dragonball Z Christmas remains something of a classic sketch, plus the stop-motion animation sends the episode to a place mildly reminiscent of the crazy California Raisins “Claymation Christmas” special. 49. That 70s Show - The Christmas Party Who could forget the episode that found Eric battling for Donna’s affections while Hyde gives her the sweetest, most thoughtful Christmas present while Kitty gets tipsy as State Troopers storm the Forman home to retrieve the Christmas tree Eric [...]...

Danish film is known for a lot of things. It’s precision. A willingness to challenge. Lately, a healthy string of high end thrillers. But what it’s not really known for is comedy. Particularly not slapstick comedy. But if Rasmus Heide has his way that will soon change with The Christmas Party (Julefrokosten). One of the most hotly anticipated films of the year in Denmark this year, The Christmas PArty features some of Denmark’s biggest stars - among them the leads from Pusher, Just Another Love Story and Flame And Citron getting goofy.
When salesman Anders begins his new job, he is given a special task: to infiltrate one the company’s competitors and during the annual Christmas event steal their confidential customer file. As Anders romps through the commotion and antics of the celebration, he realises that life is an ongoing process of learning and that he is only a beginner.
