Given that connection to a linear broadcast schedule, it’s also increasingly nostalgic some streaming shows do have holiday episodes, but they’re neither as relevant nor as impactful as one released in real time. When done well, the holiday episode is a break from a show’s status quo that still preserves its equilibrium-an important injection of novelty into a nine-month, 20-plus-episode season, but not so much novelty that it scrambles the series’ DNA. The Halloween heist saga isn’t even the only one centered on All Hallows’ Eve: The Simpsons has its famous Treehouse of Horror specials, which gave us the immortal GIF of Homer eating infinite donuts, while shows as diverse as Bob’s Burgers and Home Improvement have their own repeating traditions. And some are running franchises that recur year after year, like Friends’ vaunted Thanksgiving episodes. Some are unconventional markers of conventional occasions, like 30 Rock’s giddy celebration of Leap Day. Some are entirely invented, like Seinfeld’s Festivus. The “holiday” in “holiday episode” can take many forms. And over eight seasons on two networks, Brooklyn Nine-Nine built its annual Halloween heist into a shining example of an underappreciated art form: the sitcom holiday episode.

You don’t have to like dressing up or drinking games to appreciate a well-crafted piece of television. It’s ironic, then, that my favorite string of sitcom episodes is based around the occasion-or perhaps not. The prep work, the pressure to have fun, the drunken hordes-it’s not for me.
