NBC announces it will air special standalone holiday episodes of Young Rock, Mr. Mayor and Kenan

Deadline

"Normally, that would not be news — broadcast comedies traditionally do themed episodes around such holidays as Thanksgiving, Christmas and Valentine’s Day when they fall within their runs," according to Deadline. "What is unusual in this case is that NBC has no comedies on the schedule this fall, and all three renewed freshmen will return for their second seasons in midseason (January or later)."
