SPECIAL PREMIERE: This series, for the past few years, has presented a stand-alone holiday episode every Christmas or thereabouts, and here’s another new one, advancing the show’s narrative while delivering more than its share of laughs, drama, and emotional moments. Considering the annual nature of this TV event, consider it a special delivery – in more ways than one. Check local listings.
