It's the final entry in Wesley's top 100 Christmas TV episodes of all time list, numbers 20 to 1. Merry Christmas to all!
Read entries 100 - 81 here, entries 80 - 61 here, entries 60 - 41 here, and entries 40 - 21 here.
Since the medium’s infancy, viewers have enjoyed sharing holidays with their favourite television characters. We grow invested in our friends on screen over the years; spending Christmas with them is a rite of passage, a chance for us to share tradition from our world with the fictional ones we see on screen. Some shows embrace the season wholeheartedly, characters in good spirits and enjoying the trappings of the season; others skew a little darker, bringing the more oppressive, burdensome side of the holidays to life. Either way, Christmas episodes tend to demonstrate the strengths of our favourite series, and it’s long been a festive ritual of mine to wheel out old...

Step Up 3
Let me start off this review by saying fairly that the film “Step Up 3″ is definitely not my cup of tea. But I don’t really think the movie is aimed towards myself, but rather people that are interested and participate in the human ritual of rhythmic motion known as dancing.
Here’s the story: Moose (Adam G. Sevani) & his lifelong best friend Camille (Alyson Stoner) have just started school at Nyu. Moose’s parents are saying goodbye & couldn’t be happier that their son has set aside his foolish desire to dance to instead focus on earning his Engineering degree. No sooner do his parents leave him be does Moose stumble onto an impromptu dance-off. Moose injects himself into the contest & his moves catch the eye of Luke (Rick Malambri), an amateur filmmaker & dancer who heads up The House of Pirates, a local dance squad...

I’ve always admired Family Guy for its humor, sure its dirty and sure its crude at times but everyone gets a good laugh at the series. As of late Seth MacFarlane has been making a series of Family Guy films based of the Star Wars trilogy, the first one was based off of A New Hope now he brings us the second installment Something Something, Something Dark Side which follows the line of Empire Strikes Back. Obviously most of you know the story of Empire Strikes Back, if you don’t well you should have watched it already. In short its basically the story of the second Star Wars with a nice touch of Family Guy, I just don’t want to spoil all the really funny bits they take from the film.

- The Scorecard Review
Chicago – It probably found its way under a few trees this Christmas, but if you have a gift card burning a hole in your wallet and are a fan of “Family Guy” without the latest straight-to-dvd release from Seth MacFarlane and his talented team then you should definitely use your holiday credit on the “Star Wars” (or, more specifically, “The Empire Strikes Back”) spoof “Family Guy: Something, Something, Something Darkside”.
Blu-Ray Rating: 3.5/5.0
The “Family Guy” team turned their love for “Star Wars” into the very clever and massively successful “Blue Harvest,” a surprisingly loyal spoof of George Lucas’ breakthrough masterpiece. Now they have returned to tackle the sequel, the beloved “The Empire Strikes Back,” arguably the best sci-fi film of all time.
Family Guy: Something, Something, Something Darkside was released on Blu-Ray and DVD on December 22nd, 2009.

The long awaited sequel to Family Guy’s first Star Wars parody, Blue Harvest, has finally arrived on DVD and Blu-ray. Something, Something Dark Side, is the crew’s hilarious redux of Empire Strikes Back. First off I must point out the show wastes no time in giving some kind of pop culture reference to insult or make you smile. While watching Aaron Sorkin’s new show “The Kitchen” featuring people walking and talking intelligently throughout a kitchen, The Griffin’s are struck with another power outage leaving Peter with one thing to do, tell the next story in the original Star Wars trilogy.
Assuming that the viewer is already familiar with the film’s plot, the opening crawl instead goes into detail about how 20th Century Fox made Star Wars unprofitable (foreseeing it a failure) to other companies by letting George Lucas keep all merchandising rights to it and...

I love Family Guy. I love Star Wars. But for some reason, when you put the two together, the result is….something, something, something, mediocre.
I was underwhelmed by Blue Harvest, the Family Guy’s first effort to poke fun at George Lucas’ saga, and I feel the same way about Something, Something, Something, Dark Side—a 54-minute parody of The Empire Strikes Back. Empire is my favorite movie of all time, and it’s obvious that executive producer Seth MacFarlane, writer Kirker Butler, director Dominic Polcino (who also helmed Blue Harvest) and the Family Guy cast & crew love Star Wars: Episode V, too. If you watch Family Guy, you know that the show has made Star Wars references before and that these guys know that galaxy far, far away as well as anybody, but I think the problem with both Something and Blue Harvest is that they’re parodies.
