Creativity can save the day
After Gene breaks his favorite Christmas record—the ultra-rare, ultra-funky, and ultra-annoying 1970s release Percy McTinsel-bud’s Tinsel Machine—and has an emotional meltdown, Tina and Louise set aside their deep loathing for the music to help him track down another copy. When that proves impossible, the other Belchers pool their limited talents to re-create the album, a selfless (if tuneless) act that earns the approval of the elusive Percy McTinsel-bud himself. (Season 12, episode 10, “Gene’s Christmas Break”)
