It's the kind of special that harried parents may want to turn on for their own tired parents to help babysit the kids. They'll enjoy the extended tribute to milkmen. Go to Full Review

But at the risk of sounding like a Grinch, while Murray gets the sleigh off the ground, How Murray Saved Christmas doesn't manage to stay airborne. Go to Full Review

The very multicultural Murray is one of those rare holiday specials the entire family can enjoy for years to come. Go to Full Review

It's way short on charm, labors to be amusing and runs out of gas well before its hour is up. Go to Full Review
Rob Owen Pittsburgh Post-Gazette 12/04/2014
it's a clever, funny hour that's written in rhyme with imaginative songs threaded throughout. Go to Full Review

Erin H Dec 25 It's outlandish and has some terrible jokes, but my kids loved it when it was released and have watched it each holiday season since it's release. All the holidays get a nod and there are silky songs to enjoy. With a few zingy lines added here and there that make adults and kids chuckle. See more jacob b 12/24/2022 An underrated Christmas special that I've somehow never heard of until this year, How Murray Saved Christmas is a charming 42-minute adventure with nice animation, charismatic voice acting, enjoyable musical numbers and a ton of witty rhymes with scenes and lines that actually had me laughing out loud. Not sure why critics weren't into this. It's a special that's meant to hearken back to the days of golden-age Simpsons and I think it, on the whole, succeeds. And who ever said there hasn't been a good Christmas special since the '70s? See more 12/26/2018 Funny Christmas story worth watching. Must be from the makers of Family Guy & Simpsons See more 10/29/2016 Really Underrated Christmas special See more 09/27/2016 I didn't expect to like it -- but it was fresh, brilliantly funny for kids and adults, mildly irreverent, and full of quotable gag lines that have become part of the holiday vocabulary for my kids and me. See more 12/18/2015 Going to be completely frank - if you don't like irreverent humor then you'll find this special to be unbearable. If you like this kind of humor, you're still likely to cringe at most of the terrible jokes and ridiculously stupid songs that Family Guy wouldn't even pick up. You know you're in for a treat when the first thing you learn about the special is that it starts off in a town called "Stinky Cigars." See more Read all reviews
