saw the mention of this 'new' show at the end of an old Twilight Zone episode. Always wondered what this show was like. Amazing that it is even on RUclips. Thanks for uploading!
Glad to find this show with Elaine Stritch. Too bad there aren't more episodes on RUclips. Really got into her acting watching "Two's Company" with Sir Donald Sindon.
0:39 - The Colgate billboard sounds like it was done by none other than Johnny Olson, whose voice was more identified with game shows from "What's My Line?" and "To Tell the Truth" to "Match Game" and "Price is Right". And from 1962-70, Johnny O. also had a lucrative non-game show announcing gig with CBS' "Jackie Gleason Show".
I never heard of this show. It must have been made either when I was not born yet or was a baby. It is weird that there were some really good sitcoms on tv during the 1950s-1970s but only lasted 1 or 2 seasons. Now days there are shows that reek but last 10 years, if not more.
Anne Maddy, I like the opening music (by Earle Hagen) and animation, too! Since this is a Screen Gems presentation from 1960, this is probably early Hanna-Barbera work. (SG was the national H-B program distribuitor from 1958-mid 1970s.) And the music has a Broadway fanfare feel to it...RIP, Elaine Stritch!
That's because Colgate-Palmolive also co-sponsored "THE TWLIGHT ZONE" in 1960-'61, and used their "sponsor tag" at the end of the show to remind viewers about "MY SISTER EILEEN" on Wednesday nights...
Maybe it's just me but it felt like Rose Marie ' s character was suggesting that Ruth sleep her way to a promotion. Of course they couldn't say that so they used the term" flattery". Reminds me of Joan and Peggy in the first season of Mad Men. Also the nudie magazine plot was a surprisingly racy for 1960. Fun.
All she was suggesting was "the old Magoo" as described in Christmas in CT from the male side. Rose Marie's character wasn't suggesting her friend prostitute herself! Surely even in this day and age people know terms like buttering up and flattering someone. Schmaltz. Soft-soap. Fawn. Toady. Spreading it on thick. Telling people what they want to hear. Crawling. Boot licking. (I won't use any of the cruder terms employed today.) It's a form of manipulation that some people think is necessary and other people think is nauseating and demeaning for everyone involved. This was the heyday of Playboy magazine. Everybody knew what a centerfold was. :) Of course the joke was the contrast between the ladies' small town upbringing and what they had innocently gotten mixed up in. It wasn't racy for 1960. It was merely funny. Censorship increased dramatically after the start of the 1960s to the point where every tv show before the evening news was supposed to be for all ages, which provoked a backlash. There were still shows in the late 50s-very early 60s that were for adults. The best of the comedies came directly from radio which wasn't heavily censored. You had moralistic kid shows like the Lone Ranger and you had the adult shows. The surreal Ernie Kovacs' sketch show was experimental and self-consciously strange. I saw a Jack Benny Christmas episode where the harassed store clerk finally shot himself out of sight in the back room as the punchline of the sketch! Yeah...Merry Christmas. George Burns and Gracie Allen's show was innovative and used adult themes, including the mistaken idea of adultery and the possibility of divorce for two people we knew were married in real life. Red Skelton did sketches that were adult, too, including one where the wife tried to frighten her alcoholic husband straight by nailing all the items in his bedroom to the ceiling, and vice versa. There was Uncle Miltie in drag. There was Danny Thomas having a dream about meeting with his old school mates and being humiliated repeatedly because he didn't have a high school diploma, with the stated expectation that someone from his background probably would have ended up in prison or dead. Not to forget the Goldbergs, which even mentioned Kristallnacht on the radio version and in the tv version dealt with first and second generation Jewish Americans trying to integrate into the very Christian suburbs. The Brady Bunch era it was not! :) People need to realize that censorship didn't go from being more repressive to more open. It went back and forth through the years. :)
He starred in the one season run of The Hathaways the very next season. As a kid, I really liked it. Had chimps on the show ! He made many guest appearances on tv shows.
I guess this t.v show probably lasted only one or two seasons. Probably by the same producers of the Donna reed show , Columbia. Since they did the movie.that boss of Eileen don't look like Clark gable but more like President Drysdale of the Beverly hill Bank from the t.v show the Beverly hill billies
This looks like this was a great sitcom for its time. Too bad it only lasted only one season. Rest in peace strichy!
Wow
love the opening animation, too. So full of the early sixties style that I adore!
I ADORE MAMBO MUSIC AND YO SISTERS
Loved the movie too ! Cute tv show ♥️ Rose Marie there's no one like her sooo talented and funny rip sweetheart we miss you .
RIP Elaine Stritch. 25 straight minutes she goes without saying the "F" word. Must be in the Guinness Book.
Rusty Gordon I thought the same 😂

This series lasted one season (1960-'61) on CBS' Wednesday night schedule [9pm(et)], under the primary sponsorship of Colgate-Palmolive.
Pillsbury was the show's co-sponsor.

huge fan of elaine stritch, love her attitude and mojo.
Who's the random jerk in the comments who keeps commenting insulting things?
I think his name is Random Jerk!
Milburn Drysdale almost unrecognizable without the rug.
Now I want to see more episodes, but there aren't any on RUclips.
RIP, Elaine Stritch.
Love this show
Cute show with a lot of familiar faces. Wish picture quality was better...
It is a nice show
The show that replaced The Millionaire which had replaced Strike It Rich . All sponsored by Colgate Palmolive on CBS on Wednesday at 9 pm.

Strich did the role in Wonderful Town as well.
Yikes! I remember this upbeat theme and television program. Thank you for posting.

Great video. Do you have the 1960 episode , Ebenezer Scrooge Appopolous ? love to see it

Ahh. Mr. Drsydale! Bad guy Milton From, and Jack what’s his name, Weston? Sweet looking girl.
Ahh 😵YO MOTHER ➡️🦍
No ending credits?
Hai
Always liked Jack Weston, interesting he was in a TV show-
He starred in the one season run of The Hathaways the very next season. As a kid, I really liked it. Had chimps on the show ! He made many guest appearances on tv shows.
The beautiful Shirley Bonne (not Boone, okay?)
I guess this t.v show probably lasted only one or two seasons. Probably by the same producers of the Donna reed show , Columbia. Since they did the movie.that boss of Eileen don't look like Clark gable but more like President Drysdale of the Beverly hill Bank from the t.v show the Beverly hill billies
Jim Kirk's first love = Shirley Bonne aka Ruth
Elaine Stritch was Ruth. Shirley was Eileen.
They sure took a backward look at this material compared to the musical.
I hate the fact that they are spying on her and ogling her
