My Little Margie: The Complete First Season<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

This hit series ran from 1952 to 1955 and featured Gale Storm as Margie Albright, the 21-year-old daughter of widowed investment banker Vern (Charles Farrell). How the two of them tried to get each other to “settle down” and act their age led to comical complications. Don Hayden, Hillary Brooke, and Willie Best also star. All 13 episodes from the first season are included in this two-disc set.<\/p>\n

Your Show of Shows: Volume 1<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Airing Saturday nights on NBC over 1950-1954–and regarded as the benchmark for TV variety programming for a generation after that–this 90-minute live showcase offered up musical performances, special guest hosts, and, always, the classic comedy sketches rendered by the remarkable house company of Sid Caesar, Imogene Coca, Carl Reiner, and Howard Morris. Two episodes of the series are included in this release.<\/p>\n

The Best of Everglades!<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

First airing in syndication in 1961, this location-shot adventure series starred Ron Hayes as Southern Florida county constable Lincoln Vail, who used an airboat to patrol the wetlands as he kept the peace and kept an eye out for the preservation of the local wildlife. Gordon Cassell, Steve Brodie, Dan Chandler, and a young Burt Reynolds had recurring roles. Includes three episodes.<\/p>\n

Cowboy in Africa<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Spun off from the 1967 family adventure film Africa–Texas Style<\/em>, this season-lived ABC series starred Chuck Connors as champion rodeo rider Jim Sinclair, enticed to Kenya by retired RAF officer Howard Hayes (Ronald Howard) to bring modern-day American sensibilities to the operation of his game ranch. Tom Nardini, Gerald Edwards also starred. The episode “The Time of the Predator” plus three bonus episodes from The Rifleman<\/em> are featured in this release.<\/p>\n

The George Burns Show<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

After Gracie Allen called it a career in 1958, husband George Burns stuck it out for one more season on CBS with this reformatted sitcom, as a theatrical producer juggling assorted aggravations from staff and stars. The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show<\/em> regulars Bea Benaderet, Larry Keating, Harry Von Zell, Ronnie Burns, and Judi Meredith were back on board. Three episodes are featured in this release.<\/p>\n

Beat the Clock\/Truth or Consequences<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Installments of two of TV\u2019s most fondly remembered game shows are featured on this disc. First, contestants are required to complete wacky tasks before time runs out, on Beat the Clock<\/em>. Bud Collyer hosts. And, Bob Barker\u2019s first game show hosting gig was Truth or Consequences<\/em>, which found players being given crazy stunts to perform if they failed to answer a question correctly.<\/p>\n

One Happy Family: Volume 1<\/em><\/p>\n

Unable to afford a place of their own, meteorologist Dick Cooper (Dick Sargent) and his new bride, Penny (Jody Warner), move in with her parents (Chick Chandler and Elisabeth Fraser) and grandparents (Jack Kirkwood and Cheerio Meredith). What could possibly go wrong? Watch the generations clash in the most hilarious ways possible in this sitcom that ran for just one season in 1961.

Mack and Myer for Hire: Volume 1<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

In 1963, vaudeville veterans Mickey Deems and Joey Faye (creator of the “Slowly I Turn” routine made popular by Abbott and Costello and The Three Stooges) cranked out over a hundred 15-minute, old-school slapstick comedy shorts for TV syndication, respectively starring as itinerant handymen Mack and Myer, who always left a situation more broken than they found it.<\/p>\n

Accidental Family: Volume 1<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Airing from September, 1967 to January, 1968, this NBC sitcom focused on comedian and widower Jerry Webster (Jerry Van Dyke) as he raised his son, Sandy (Teddy Quinn), on their farm in the San Fernando Valley. Lois Nettleton also starred as Sue Kramer, a divorced mother–and Jerry\u2019s would-be love interest–who managed the farm and took care of Sandy when his dad was away on tour. Susan Benjamin co-starred. Includes the episodes \u201cWhat Is This–Thanksgiving or a Nightmare\u201d and \u201cThe Woodsman.\u201d<\/p>\n
