Our Miss Brooks, an American situation comedy, starred
Eve Arden as a sardonic high school English teacher. It began as
a radio show which lasted from 1948 to 1957.
Our Miss Brooks was a hit on radio from the outset;
within eight months of its launch as a regular series, the show
landed several honours including four for Eve Arden, who won polls
in four individual publications of the time.
Produced by Larry Berns and written by Al Lewis (who also directed
the show), Our Miss Brooks premiered on CBS on July 19th, 1948.
According to radio critic John Crosby, her lines were very "feline"
in dialogic scenes with principal Conklin and would-be boyfriend
Boynton, with sharp, witty comebacks. The interplay between the
cast---blustery Conklin, nebbish Denton, accommodating Harriet,
absentminded Mrs. Davis, clueless Boynton, scheming Miss Enright---also
received positive reviews. For its entire radio life, the show was
sponsored by Colgate-Palmolive-Peet (later shortened, simply, to
Colgate-Palmolive), promoting Palmolive soap, Lustre Creme shampoo,
and Toni hair care products.
The radio series continued until 1957, a year after its television
life ended.
