What a loss. She could melt a fathers heart with “Dad-dy”. I thought she was the daughter on a few shows like The Great Gildersleeve but no.

Thanks Gloria, I’m still listening...

Osgood Conklin was exactly like the Principal I had in High School - no nonsense allowed.

We used to watch this show when we were kids. We also watched Father Knows Best with Robert Young, Ozzie & Harriet, Mr. Peepers with Wally Cox, My Little Margie with Gale Storm, The Bob Cummings Show, Private Secretary with Ann Sothern, and after that she had The Ann Sothern Show. There were so many good TV shows back then. Today’s programming is $hit.

It seems like he allowed a lot of nonsense.

My friend Irma? That's another one that jumped from radio to TV. And a lot of detectives shows did to. Did you ever see/listen to Dangerous Assignment?

Love the radio show. Walter and Harriet, two likable wholesome teens. They are in an other universe compared to what we today label as "teens". I prefer that universe. Think of of Walter Denton as the skipper of the San Pablo in The Sand Pebbles.

"Did you ever see/listen to Dangerous Assignment?"

I had to look it up. I was 3 years old in 1950. I don't believe we had a TV at the time, and being so young, I don't even know if we had a radio then either. I was the baby. My oldest sister was born in 1940.

I am a huge Perfect Stangers fan with Bronson Pinchot and Mark Linn-Baker. Does anyone know which episode she was in?

Wow, an almost young Gale Gordon. My dad could not stand Eve Arden, too much lip from that woman.

Arden’s an actress playing a part.

Richard crenna was so handsome.

Gloria said she had a realtime crush on him.....aside from the part she played.

I watched Captain Video back as a kid back then. I remember the evil robot Tobor. I didn’t figure it out until last year that Tobor is robot spelled backwards. Slow learner here, lol
