Published 2 months, 1 week ago
Description
Christmas shows on a Sunday
First, a look at this day in History.
Then, Dragnet starring Jack Webb, originally broadcast December 21, 1950, 75 years ago, A .22 Rifle for Christmas. A young boy named Stanley Johnstone is missing, and so is the .22 caliber rifle he was going to get for Christmas.
Followed by the Burns and Allen Show, originally broadcast December 21, 1943, 82 years ago, Playing Santa Claus. George attempts to avoid playing Santa Claus at Gracie’s Christmas party, only to be roped in anyway as her well-meaning confusion turns a simple plan into chaos. Charles Laughton guest stars.
Then, Suspense, originally broadcast December 21, 1958, 67 years ago, Out for Christmas starring Raymond Burr. Santa Claus has a gun and is out for revenge. He's really an ex-con out to get the rat who testified against him, and his girl who ran off with the rat!
Followed by The Aldrich Family starring Bobby Ellis, originally broadcast December 21, 1952, 73 years ago, Christmas Eve. It's the day before Christmas and Eleanor Wentworth is giving Henry an expensive wallet. Henry tries to buy a battery-operated Christmas tree pin for Eleanor.
Finally, Lum and Abner, originally broadcast December 21, 1944, 81 years ago, Christmas Letter Gift Set. Lum would like a leather desk set for Christmas and drops several not-too-hints to Abner.
