For the past few months, I’ve been exploring what I used to dismissively call “the old people stations.”  These are television stations like MeTV, Antenna TV, Cozi TV, and TVLand which specialize in showing episodes of old television shows.  Of the old shows that I’ve recently discovered, The Jack Benny Program is one of my favorites.

Each episode featured comedian Jack Benny playing himself and being cheap, egocentric, and annoying.  In many ways, the show feels like a forerunner for shows like Curb Your Enthusiasm.

With this being the holiday season, what better time than to feature a Christmas episode of the Jack Benny Show.  In this episode, Jack attempts to buy a Christmas present.

This episode originally aired on December 15th, 1957.

Enjoy!
