Well, I'm not a fan of the show, but I DID catch the TNG's finale. And I thought the Christmas set decorations (falling snow, red sleigh), were quite appealing. I'm not
sure, but weren't they also playing some sort of Christmas music in the background as Bob was speaking? I think they were. Either way, the decorations alone were nice. . .

I agree, Richard Dawson's "farewell" speech from Feud  was indeed touching!

Leroy Anderson's "Sleigh Ride" (personal favorite of mine).  Not necessarily recorded by the Boston Pops.  :)

It would have been easy to put up a graphic, or have the host say "enjoy our best episodes from the last year over the summer...however..."

Which I identify its usage in the old Christmas spots run by the then-WOR-TV in New York.

ObGameShows: (W)WOR was a reliable source for many syndicated game shows in its time, including the Barry-Enright Two and more.

It's only in Vegas. But you have to pay Louie to keep quiet.

I'll be here all year.

I'd gladly pay him. His voice goes right through me, I can't imagine how the man would sound *singing*...I couldn't watch FF: The Louie Years because of his voice.

At least three of the B&E shows, PtP, TJW, and TTD, had their host say when it was the last show of the season or series, and to enjoy the "choice shows" that would be seen in the summer months.
