Our Miss Brooks, starred Eve Arden as a sardonic high school english teacher. It began as a radio show which lasted from 1948 to 1957. The show migrated to TV (1952-1956) and quickly became one of the still-new medium's earliest hits. It was one of the few shows that was popular on both radio AND television at the same time.
Our story:
Miss Brooks has plenty of teacher troubles and her "escape" is in dreaming about her vacation. She has travel folders on several Caribbean cruises which she discusses with the athletic coach who owns his own little sailboat. Miss Brooks suddenly sees that perhaps he's "the man" for her. She's glad she isn't putting on the school play this year so she won't have to fight him for use of the gym. Then the ax falls. The play is thrust upon her! A battle royal develops. The coach's star athlete Ted gives up the team to play the leading boy's part. The daughter of the school board president is determined to play opposite him but she reads her lines so poorly that Miss Brooks gives the role to an attractive nobody with real talent. A hilarious romp through 1950's TV situation comedy. Bobbie Sox and crewcuts and petticoats....oh my!!
