One scene that stands out follows: One of the Parker's neighbors orders an entire house by mail from Sears. It arrives in railroad boxcars on a siding in town. All the fathers go down with the premise of helping unload the house kit from the cars. The beer starts to flow and it becomes a drunken ballet of opening hundreds of crates of house parts. Then it begins to rain and the hapless home buyer is abandoned by his inebriated friends.

There are youtube channels that have a good deal of the episodes, thinning out in the earlier years.

“By the same creative genius who wrote Christmas Story, this is a hysterical sendup of Ralphie’s life as a teenager. James Broderick plays “the old man” in this episode. Haven’t seen this since a PBS showing over 30 years ago. One scene that stands out follows: One of the Parker’s neighbors orders an entire house by mail from Sears.
