    Then George Burns and Gracie Allen, originally broadcast December 15, 1942, 82 years ago, The Swami’s Predictions. After having their tea leaves read by a fortune teller, George thinks Gracie is leaving him for guest Herbert Marshall.

    Followed by Jack Benny, originally broadcast December 15, 1946, 78 years ago, Exchanging Shoelaces. Babe Marks, Mary's sister in real life, appears on the show. Mary does not appear, she was sick at the last minute. The Sportsmen sing the commercial to the music of The Dance Of The Hours. Jack returns to the department store to exchange the metal-tipped shoe laces that he previously bought. The opening of the first of a solid ongoing story.

    Then My Friend Irma starring Marie Wilson, originally broadcast December 15, 1947, 77 years ago, Dancing Fools. Al has to take Rhumba lessons to take Irma out to a nightclub. Al's own version of the rhumba proves to be a success.

    Then Jonathan Thomas and His Christmas On The Moon, originally broadcast December 15, 1938, 86 years ago, The Wall of Doors. The grateful king presents Jonathan with a golden key, which will come in very useful when dealing with The Wall Of Doors.
