Christmas episodes

Postby Frank Nelson » Fri Dec 30, 2005 1:19 pm

The TV Christmas episode seems to get funnier each year. I almost found myself rolling like Jack on the floor watching it this year. Was there more than one TV Christmas episode? I know his radio program had annual Christmas shows.

Here's what I've been able to find out about Christmas shows of his regular TV series - specials unknown....
12/15/57 Script available Christmas shopping. This has so far been always mis-dated and is not known to be circulating. Best clue is Rechard Deacon is NOT in this show. It opens with Don and Lois.
12/18/60 This is the shopping show widely avialbale, although some versions have Don Wilson's state farm comercial on Santa's lap complete, some have it edited, and some don't have any portion of it all atll. This is what you get from mst places that advertise 12/15/57 thoough some places are beginning to date it correctly now.
12/24/61 Not known to be available possibly outside of museums Description is Jack goes into the audience.

and while some sources list 12/12/54 as another shopping show (script available) in fact it's a Jack goes FOOD shoping for Rochester as result of bet.
