Published 1 month, 4 weeks ago
Description
Comedy on New Year's Eve
First, a look at this day in History.
Then, The Phil Harris and Alice Faye Show, originally broadcast December 31, 1950, 75 years ago, Mr. Scott's New Year's Party. Phil and Alice haven't been invited to the sponsor's New Year's Eve party, so Phil plans to take Alice to Ciro's.
Followed by The Lucky Strike Program starring Jack Benny, originally broadcast December 31, 1944, 81 years ago, Jack Resolves to Be Friends With Fred Allen. Jack's New Year's resolution is to be friendly with Fred Allen. The cast does their annual New Year's allegory: "The New Tenant." "1944" listens to the radio and hears Adolph Hitler on "Double Or Nothing" and Emperor Hirohito asking advice from "Mr. Anthony!"
Then, Fibber McGee and Molly, originally broadcast December 31, 1940, 85 years ago, Fibber Finds A Gold Watch. Fibber finds a gold watch at the corner of 14th and Oak. Who lost it?
Followed by Father Knows Best starring Robert Young, originally broadcast December 31, 1953, 72 years ago, New Year's Sitter. New Year's Eve turns out to be "a mixed-up scramble." A good-looking babysitter makes the Andersons change plans...several times!
Finally, Claudia, originally broadcast December 31, 1947, 78 years ago, New Year's Eve. Happy 1948 Claudia! Kathryn Bard and Paul Crabtree star.
