I enjoyed shows like “Private Secretary” with Ann Sothern, “Our Miss Brooks”, “Mr. Peepers”, “The People’s Choice,” and “My Little Margie” with Gale Storm. There were also the comedy/variety shows featuring: Red Skelton, Red Buttons, Ed Wynn, Jack Benny, Spike Jones and Ernie Kovacs. One we usually always watched was “Show of Shows” with Sid Caesar and Imogene Coco. There was also the George Goebel Show.
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.
