| "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet" 1956 Christmas episode
1956 episode of "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet", the 2nd longest running American sitcom of all time. This is a Christmas-themed episode.

In this episode, David wants to get a job as a law clerk, but a series of coincidences may result in him losing the job before he gets it. Although reasonably popular, the show rarely ranked in the Top 20 in the ratings, perhaps since ABC-TV was a minor network at the time.
