What show is this? That's not a rhetorical question -- I had no idea this was a show. Apparently it was originally created for a venue like Adult Swim, but ended up on a kids' network, near Transformers and My Little Pony and Fraggle Rock reruns. Besides Dave as the main character's best friend, it also has Paget Brewster as Dave's wife, and this episode features voice actor Grey DeLisle as the mall manager, and some guy named Mark Hammel... um, Hamill, as the mall Santa.
What a show. I don't know that I'd want to watch the whole run of the series (though apparently it has a decent following), but it's fun and offbeat and weird.
As a Christmas show, I rate this 9/10. It's got music and decorations and heartfelt reminiscences about Christmases past, and a lot of discussions of joy and generosity.
As a spotlight for Dave, I rate this 6/10. His character is interesting, but he doesn't get to do much except voice-of-reason in this episode.
For some reason, only the first season got a physical release, so your buy link is for streaming rights. Or, y'know, just watch em all for free on YouTube. Your call.
