The Crosby kids were well into their teens by 1976 and this special, broadcast on CBS on December 1, acknowledges that. Mary (age 17) seeks career advice from Tony Award nominee Bernadette Peters (who was then starring in the sitcom All’s Fair). Eighteen-year-old Harry dreams of a record deal. Future pro golfer Nathaniel (age 15) focuses on his golf game. And the kids take center stage for a Disco variation on “Jingle Bells.” There’s also a tribute to lyricist and songwriter Johnny Mercer, who died just days before the show was taped. But the highlight of this show is Jackie Gleason, who sings, dances and tells jokes like only The Great One can.
