Loved Ann Sothern as Private Secretary. Mr Sands was another of my little girl “crushees”! *Swoon*
Gale Storm’s sister was my 4th grade teacher and I had loved My little Margie - but I *think* we were into Oh Susanna by that time. Would have to look it up - but Gale was still “big” on TV then, so that was kinda fun. We didn’t have many (like, *not any*) celebs or celeb kinfolk in Houston then.
Wow, The People’s Choice! Had not thought of that “since then,” I don’t believe. Wasn’t that Jackie Cooper? He was with the SAG or something? They lived in a ranch-style house and had sonic booms, IIRC. Have to look that one up, too - I know there was an OKla connection at the time.
Didn’t like Mr Peepers at all.
Well, I looked up The People’s Choice and it wasn’t at all what I remembered. I must not have watched it very much.
I distinctly remember Cleo, the Basset hound, and her “voice” and a lot of the episode synopses sound very familiar, but I’m not getting it completely in my mind’s eye.
I was thinking he was with the SAC (I wrote SAG earlier, oops) - Strategic Air Command. Seems like his house was out in a wide open space, just like Jimmy Stewart’s and June Allyson’s house in the movie about the SAC - so it must have been a pretend “Nebraska” scene. I thought it was Oklahoma.
Oh, I know - I think Jackie Cooper (Sock) was a real estate salesman or something with a tract house development - and that’s where they lived! Maybe in AZ. Memory is fuzzy on this, but I know I liked the show.
