Our Miss Brooks - "Thanksgiving Dinner" (11-19-50)

Thanksgiving Dinner (Aired November 19, 1950)

 

 

 INTRO: Bob Celebrates Thanksgiving With Bing Crosby "Iv'e Got Plenty to Be Thankful For" (1942)

Our Miss Brooks, an American situation comedy, began as a radio hit in 1948 and migrated to television in 1952, becoming one of the earlier hits of the so-called Golden Age of Television, and making a star out of Eve Arden (1908-1990) as comely, wisecracking, but humane high school English teacher Connie Brooks. The show hooked around Connie's daily relationships with Madison High School students, colleagues, and pompous principal Osgood Conklin (Gale Gordon), not to mention favourite student Walter Denton (future television and Rambo co-star Richard Crenna, who fashioned a higher-pitched voice to play the role) and biology teacher Philip Boynton ( Jeff Chandler), the latter Connie's all-but-unrequited love interest, who saw science everywhere and little else anywhere.

Straight Arrow - The Big Pow Wow (6-21-50)

Straight Arrow - The Big Pow Wow ( Aired June 21, 1950)


Straight Arrow was a favorite thriller for kids and, like The Lone Ranger, was a show that held their interest. The dialogue was great, with many Indian phrases and ideas, and the actor Howard Culver did the part with a perfect balance of essentially two roles, that of Steve Adams and that of Straight Arrow. The show was sponsored by Nabisco Shredded Wheat.
