Four Classics on December 19th!

 

12/19/1960 - "The Andy Griffith Show" sees cantankerous business owner Ben Weaver (the late Will Wright) learn a lesson about the holiday spirit.  "The Christmas Story" was the only Christmas episode that the series produced during its eight season run.  It is hard to believe that this episode turns sixty this year.  

12/19/1962 - "Home for the Holidays" was a Christmas episode during the first season of the series which quite honestly just saw the family going home for the holidays.

12/19/1970 - "Christmas and the Hard-Luck Kid II" first airs on this date fifty years ago.  In this season one episode Mary Richards (the late Mary Tyler Moore) is crushed to learn that she has to work on Christmas Day.  She tries to cope with the news and then finds herself committing to work Christmas Eve as well.  Will Mary Richards have a happy holiday?    

12/19/1984 - "Dynasty" the 1980's mega hit had a lot going on in its fifth season.  Fallon was presumed dead, Dominique claimed to be Blake's half-sister, Amanda appeared apparently she was Blake and Alexis' youngest child, Krystle met horse breeder Daniel Reece who was really the ex-lover of her late sister Iris and so much more...luckily though everyone did come together in this episode "The Holiday Spirit."
