Countdown to Christmas: American Bandstand's Christmas show (1969)

We've got a Christmas episode of American Bandstand from 1969. Yes, it was recorded in color, but this tape appears to have been a black & white kinescope. Anyway, the singer-songwriter team of Tommy Boyce & Bobby Hart and Family Affair's Kathy Garver (who later got into voice acting) are among the guests. Includes in-show ads by host Dick Clark for Certs and Neet, and is otherwise sponsored by Dr. Pepper. Bill Woodson narrates an ad for The FBI.


Update, 2/6/24: Had to change the video, as Times Past Television lost its YouTube account (which sucks).
