Sorry Lucille Ball fans - but Joan Davis should be getting all the fame that Lucille Ball does. Ms. Davis is a true comedy talent for all generations!!

I remember this show as a small child and was excited to see it on Amazon. I have watched it several times. It is all I remember.

CBS had Lucy, but NBC had Joan Davis and her wonderful brand of physical, knock-about comedy from 1952-1953. Each week, kindly Judge Bradley Stevens counsels folks in domestic court by using examples from his own married life. Joan Davis, a comedic veteran of vaudeville and a long career in films, brings her inimitable comic timing and charm to each of their wonderful misadventures!

The Jailbird - a scavenging crow steals a pearl necklace from Joan's friend Janet, and Judge Stevens suspects his wife is the culprit!
Home Movies - Returning home exhausted and quarrelsome from a Hawaiian vacation, the Stevens invite friends over to watch their home movies with disastrous results.
Wall Safe - The day she discovers an old map hidden in the living room, nothing is safe from treasure-seeking Joan - especially Brad's sanity.
Dreams - Joan goes to her high school reunion and discovers that all her friends have exciting careers and that all she has is Brad.
Changing Houses - Joan and Brad trade spaces with their neighbors' "modern functional house" for a week, and after a night of push-button convenience, discover there's no place like home.

I love the I married Joan shows. I now own 5 DVD'S. I first saw Joan Davis on the old NICK AT NIGHT. They showed one episode that I really wanted and was not able to find so far. It was were Joan opened Brad's package in the closet and it was a blow up boat. it was just hilerious and much funnier then when Dick Van Dyke did it in the 60's. I wish that the episodes were included with the discription.

I remember loving "I Married Joan" as a kid. Unfortunately, this sitcom doesn't hold up well over time. The comedy is lack-luster at best. Buy "The Honeymooners" and "Amos 'n' Andy" instead. They are both delights that pass the test of time, and I watch them over with great appreciation. But "I Married Joan" just leaves you thinking the 50's were dorky.
