Don't know if it's just me, but none of the show links seem to be working. They get to a blank page... with an address ending in .mp3... but nothing loads.

Holy crap... What a depressing Christmas show Dragnet was... about a 9 year old kid who opens his present early... after finding it hidden in the closet... and... well... I'll let you listen to it. No spoilers. Dum da dum dum... this is the city. :neutral: They sure did the show well though... compared with others of the era.

I remember the first time I heard that show ... probably Christmas of 1970 or 71 when Jack Cullen played it. I believe that was the only Christmas Dragnet show. It repeated for several years from the late 40s to mid 50s.

This Dragnet show is somewhat more uplifting ....
Here are two links for the Dragnet Christmas show "Big Little Jesus"... Link 1 is for the OTR show from Internet Archive....

https://archive.org/download/OTRR_Dragn ... _Jesus.mp3

Link 2 is for the TV Version of the same show from YouTube
