THE GREAT GILDERSLEEVE & X-MINUS ONE

For Father’s Day, we start off with “The Great Gildersleeve.” He’s only an uncle, but he’s been like a father to his niece and nephew, so they decide to get him a great, big, stuffed club chair. They aren’t the only ones. This episode is a classically-structured farce with people and chairs coming and going to beat the band. Then on the science fiction anthology program “X Minus One,” a couple of lab rats find themselves caught up in government bureaucracy.
