Welcome to Week 3--3!--of the Countdown to Christmas. Today I share a local treat from my hometown of Philadelphia.
This is a Christmas episode of Al Alberts Showcase, a local Philly variety show hosted by Al Alberts, who had been a member of the vocal group The Four Aces decades before. He hosted this series in Philly for decades, featuring children and teen performers singing, dancing, and telling jokes. As corny as the show was, it was beloved here in Philadelphia. I previously shared an hour-long Christmas special from Alberts from 1979; here is a half-hour special from 1988. If you love kitchy local TV like I do, you'll love this.
Enjoy!
