It’s Episode 200 of “Presenting the Transcription Feature” and Christmas in the land of Old Time Radio.  On “The Jack Benny Program,” Jack and company are visiting New York in December.  This allows him to try shopping in a Manhattan department store, which provides a little variety.  Then, on “The Great Gildersleeve,” will the members of the Jolly Boys Club turn a charitable project into an exercise in egos, or will the true spirit of Christmas win out?
