(I am reserving most of my commentary for that later date.)Ġ1) Episode 11: “The Gigolo” (Aired: 12/06/54 | Filmed: 10/23/54)
PETE AND GLADYS FULL
In the meantime, here are a few FULL LENGTH offerings from December Bride, chosen here for Felton’s unique contributions. My intention is to one day cover the series and its strongest installments, but I’m currently missing too many episodes to make that a possibility at the moment. Although the show is mediocre, I am fascinated by the strong cast, the Desilu format, and its relative obscurity. Harry Morgan played next-door neighbor Pete Porter, who eventually joined Cara Williams (whose character remained unseen on December Bride) in a fondly recalled two-season spin-off, Pete And Gladys (1960-1962, CBS).ġ57 episodes were produced over five years (the first four of which were filmed in front of a live audience), and I have approximately 124 episodes in my personal collection. Felton played Hilda Crocker, the best friend of jovial Lily Ruskin (Spring Byington), who lived with her daughter (Frances Rafferty) and son-in-law (Dean Miller).
Sitcom fans may remember Felton for her five-year stint on the Desilu sitcom, December Bride (1954-1959, CBS), which was based on a 1952 radio comedy and aired on Monday nights after Ball and Arnaz’s iconic sitcom.
Welcome to a new Wildcard Wednesday! Today’s post is in tribute to character actress Verna Felton, best known today for her unforgettable voice work in several classic Disney films, whose 125th birthday anniversary (on the 20th) we’re belatedly celebrating.
