Love this lineup tonight...Mr. and Mrs. Blandings, never heard of this, cool...loving Halls of Ivy...my favorite OTR comedy Phil Harris and Alice Faye...and an interesting Screen Guild Theater with Bachelor Mother...
How's it around you way?
It looks like a fairly bland lineup, because I'm not wild about the comedies.
