1ST BROADCAST ON 09/09/1943... 09/09 HAPPENS TO BE THE MOST COMMON BIRTHDATE. ON THE 9TH DAY OF THE 9TH MONTH OF 1969: I TURNED 9 Y.O. AND MY 9 OLDER SIBLINGS WERE PRESENT. I REALLY LIKE THE PROGRAM, MISS GISH DOES HAVE A PLEASENT VOICE. THANX, LUV YOUR CHANNEL.
The final episode of the radio series, as heard on Thursdays at 8:30pm(et). However, WNBC-AM in New York *didn't* schedule it (and "TRUTH OR CONSEQUENCES", which followed) because they presented "MEET ME AT KAY'S", a music and "yak" program featuring popular singer Kay Armen and comedian Louis Nye {through August 1954}. Because WNBC wanted more local ad revenue from that program, they jeopardized any chances of "FATHER KNOWS BEST"- and "THE SIX SHOOTER", which replaced it on April 1st- finding any kind of sponsorship on the network {"why should we buy time on that show when it isn't even heard in New York?"}.
Am I the only one who thought the mother was being way too permissiv and working against her husband where Betty was concerned? Why didn't they ask her to start paying rent if she wanted to be treated like an adult?
These 1950 “Our Miss Brooks” radio shows had really amazing writers. They are so creative and have funny situations. The cast is perfect. Thanks for playing them. JIM
As heard on Thursday nights at 8:30pm(et). It was *NOT* heard on WNBC-AM in New York (and neither was 'TRUTH OR CONSEQUENCES"), as they presented a local music and interview program, "MEET ME AT KAY'S", featuring singer Kay Armen and comedian Louis Nye, instead. Several NBC affiliates also bypassed the series.
29:34. Andy Devine flubs and says "the new JELLY series" which causes long laughter all the way to the signoff. Good thing the quartet didn't sing "J-E-L-L-Y!"
As heard on Thursdays at 8:30pm(et). However, WNBC in New York did NOT schedule it- or "TRUTH OR CONSEQUENCES", which followed- because they presented an hour-long music and interview program, "MEET ME AT KAY'S", featuring vocalist Kay Armen and comedian Louis Nye {apparently, WNBC sold that show to local advertisers and made more money tham carrying a "sustaining" series like "FATHER KNOWS BEST"}.
Love THIS!! like reading a book...u must use ur imagination. May i suggest that you use a puc of old 30 to 40 radio in background. I had to cover TV with blanket way to bright. Love ur channel!! Love NIOR!! more of this radio stuff! NPR used to do a spot like this...thank you im disabled elderly. It means SO MUCH!❤
Me, neither. And, no, Leroy does not need to get a mother; he just needs to get rid of that sister! A boy’s worst enemy is his sister. I wish I was a boy. I think he’s already got a “mother”, after a fashion; I hate sisters who act like mothers!
Near the end… imagine an Easter message being included in a network program today! Religion would get poor Gildy (and the Kraft company) cancelled in a liberal heartbeat.
Great show! I was two when it came on. I might have heard it, because we didn’t have a T.V. Till I was five. I love these “Our Miss Brooks “. Shows. They remind me of my years in the Junior High class room. Thank You❤️
I like how this episode started with the perp getting caught. Then he climbed out and down several floors clinging to the outside wall. I don’t buy that the perp trained for the escape, I also don’t buy that a felon could be paroled into the army in 1950
Father knows best - well he doesn't does he? Telling his daughter the Magna Carta was signed in 1076. Only 139 years out. Shame on you Mr Anderson lol 😄
