My Little Margie



My Little Margie is an American situation comedy starring Gale Storm
and Charles Farrell that alternated between CBS and NBC from 1952 to 1955.
The series was created by Frank Fox and produced in Los Angeles,
California at Hal Roach Studios by Hal Roach, Jr. and Roland D. Reed.

My Little Margie premiered on CBS as the summer replacement for
I Love Lucy on June 16, 1952, under the sponsorship of Philip Morris
cigarettes (when the series moved to NBC for its third season in the
fall of 1953, Scott Paper Company became its sponsor). In an
unusual move, the series—with the same leads—aired original
episodes on CBS Radio, concurrently with the TV broadcasts,
from December 1952 through August 1955.

Only 23 radio broadcasts are known to exist in recorded form.

Set in New York City, the series stars Gale Storm as 21-year-old
Margie Albright and former silent film star Charles Farrell as her
widowed father, 50-year-old Vern Albright. They share an
apartment at the Carlton Arms Hotel. Vern Albright is the
vice-president of the investment firm of Honeywell and Todd,
where his bosses are George Honeywell (Clarence Kolb) and
Todd (George Meader). Roberta Townsend (Hillary Brooke) is
Vern's girlfriend, and Margie's boyfriend is Freddy Wilson (Don Hayden).
Mrs. Odetts (played by Gertrude Hoffmann on TV, Verna Felton on radio)
is the Albrights' next-door neighbor and Margie's sidekick in madcap
capers reminiscent of Lucy and Ethel in I Love Lucy. When Margie
realizes she has blundered or gotten into trouble, she makes an
odd trilling sound. Michael Richards of Seinfeld cites this as the
inspiration for the occasional odd vocal utterances of his character
on the program.
