What Are The Best St. Patrick's Day TV Episodes?

There are so many great movies made about Ireland and the Irish people that I watch on St. Patrick's Day. But this year, I wanted to do something a little different.

I decided to go through some of the best TV episodes about the holiday and list them here for you to check out

Let's dive in.

Sabrina the Teenage Witch: "Salem and Juliette" (Season 4, Episode 17)

In a magical twist on the holiday, Sabrina has to deal with the fallout of a leprechaun's curse. And Salem the cat is the star.

Beverly Hills, 90210: "The Leprechaun" (Season 9, Episode 19)

This episode features a fake leprechaun at the Peach Pit, a knife fight, and a surprisingly touching subplot about communal charity. It's all chaos!

Bewitched: "The Leprechaun" (Season 2, Episode 27)

A classic choice for fans of vintage TV. Darrin discovers he has a leprechaun relative named Brian O’Brian who has lost his pot of gold. It’s a whimsical, lighthearted take on the folklore associated with the day.

9-1-1: "Boston" (Season 5, Episode 12)

This episode takes the celebration to Boston, one of the most famous cities for the holiday. It follows Chimney as he searches for Maddie during the height of the city's parade and festivities, capturing the massive scale of the public celebration.

Boardwalk Empire: "Nights in Ballygran" (Season 1, Episode 5)

For a more dramatic and historical take, this episode explores the holiday during the Prohibition era. It highlights the political and social tensions within the Irish community in Atlantic City during their annual St. Patrick’s Day dinner.

30 Rock: "The Funcooker" (Season 3, Episode 14)

Liz Lemon deals with the chaos of Tracy and Jenna hosting the St. Patrick’s Day parade while she desperately tries to get out of jury duty.

The Office: "St. Patrick's Day" (Season 6, Episode 19)

There's something about a show in its later seasons committing to the things it's planted all along. The Office did a great job with this, showing Michael really come into his own and embrace everyone in the spirit of the holiday.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia: "Charlie Catches a Leprechaun" (Season 11, Episode 8)

This show is all about chaos, and what's more chaotic than Charlie chasing around someone he thinks is a Leprechaun? It also has the funniest paint-drinking scene ever.

Bob's Burgers: "Flat-Top O' the Morning to Ya" (Season 10, Episode 16)

Watching Linda and Teddy get carried away with St. Patrick's Day festivities is an actual joy as they go buck wild. The other Belchers join in, and the spirit of the season is on full display.

How I Met Your Mother: "No Tomorrow" (Season 3, Episode 12)

My wife and I just completed a rewatch of this series, and thus, the episode sort of works as the moral compass for the entire series. It's when we see Ted try not to be Ted, and it sends the series toward the heartfelt stories that stick with us.

30 Rock: "St. Patrick's Day" (Season 6, Episode 12)

When I think about the hardest I've laughed watching TV, I think about this show. And this episode plays the hits, with Jenna and Tracy feuding and everyone else being stirred in their wake.

2 Broke Girls: "And the Kilt Trip" (Season 3, Episode 19)

St. Patrick's Day is a party holiday, so getting an episode centered around a fun party group is essential. this show always delivers those hijinks.
