My Little Margie is a comedy series from the early days of Television. At that time comedies went really over the top because TV was trying to prove itself. The show is about wealthy conservative people pulling crazy stunts on each other. Margie is strong funny and can be scary the same way Tweedy Bird is scary. Lucy and Topper are of the same genre but for me My Little Margie was the best.

Usually you look back at old programs like the Lone Ranger and think how hokey they were. Then you realize that you, being a kid at the time could enjoy them as they were. Then there is "Topper" the TV show. It was one big smoking commercial. Well I sort of counted on this happening with "My Little Margie." Boy was I surprised. The plots are complex for the small period of time they have to execute in. Hokey or not they had me laughing. And Price per pound, you get twelve episodes. I am working my way through for a second time. When I get tired, I will put them on the shelf and they look good in the box set.

Gale Storm was a very interesting person, and she seemed to have something special that endeared her to others.

I was quite surprised to learn that Gale Storm had a drinking problem. She revealed this herself in an interview. I thought that was courageous of her,and I admired her honesty. I always thought that she was so beautiful, and I loved to hear her sing "Dark Moon". Can't believe that was so long ago!

I like this, because it brings back memories from my past that were happy days.
