Thanks. Pure delight. I’d never seen this show. A shame it only lasted one season. Terrific cast. I recall the earlier hit, The Goldbergs.

Absolutely extraordinary ... we've always adored brilliant, wonderful Gertrude Berg, born Tillie Edelstein (1899-1966)
Thank you very much indeed.

William Windom was such a good actor. Gertrude and Mary needed more screen time. ❤ Oh, Ken Berry... a talented cast 😊

The precursor naming of Mr. Thurston Howell, III, of “Gillian’s Island,” a couple seasons later, on CBS-TV! One of those life and TV “coincidences!” 🙂👍

Are you pointing out the comma, or am I missing something ?

William Windom later went on to become doctor Seth Hazlitt on murder she wrote

Loosely based on the 1949 film "Mother is a Freshman" starring Loretta Young.

Andy Griffith's girlfriend (?), Seth Hazlit, and Ken Berry. Interesting mix of across!

I wonder what Six 1961 Dollars is in today's money? Didn't teachers in college get paid ANYTHING?
