ANN SOUTHERN always a joy to see should be remembered
I'm so happy for that woman because she was cured.
Thank you for sharing this! I was five when Susie/ Private Secretary came out and I loved Ann Sothern from that day on...Such class! I had forgotten that Don Porter played her boss. Watching the TV series Gidget, as a teen, I knew I had seen him somewhere...I noticed the Ballerina print on the wall in the office scene here, oddly enough. I believe, is the same print that was on the wall in Gidgets bedroom years later...but alas, no Google, or TH-cam back in 65, to check things out... just The Beatles!
Heck...I remember watching this when it was first run on tv!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Me too. (I'm 75.) I loved it!
Ginny Lorenz It was my favorite show! My Mom and I never missed it.
Excellent show !
Really enjoyed thanks
Thank you for this treasure
I remember this show In those days Shows had moral Value Thanks for posting c];-D
Ann Sothern also played Susie MacNamara, Lucy Magillicutty's friend in the "Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour" episode telling how Lucy and Ricky first met in Cuba. With Caesar Romero as Ricky's friend.
Love those 50's sitcoms. Ann Sothern didn't star in "Oh! Susanna" or "My Little Margie" although she might have made guest appearances on them. Those two shows starred Gale Storm (1922-2009). Timeline: My Little Margie ran from 1952-1955 on NBC and CBS. "The Gale Storm Show" aka "Oh! Susanna" ran from 1956-1960 on CBS. Storm played Susanna Pomeroy, cruise director on an ocean liner. ZaSu Pitts co-starred. "Private Secretary" aka "Susie" starring Ann Sothern (1909-2001) ran from 1953-1957 on CBS.
I watched My Little Margie everyday that it airedback in the day. I loved the 1950's Television shows! Gale Storm, what a name!
Thanks so much for posting this lost gem. Love that theme music.
Omigosh - thanks for posting this. I watched this when Nick at Nite ran it in the 80's......... such a hoot.
The first episode is Cat in the Hot Tin File and the second episode is Old Dogs, New Tricks.
"Mr." Pym is a calico, therefore it is a "Ms." Pym-- they are always female.
last seen was Nick at nite in the mid 80s
I used to watch this on Nick at Nite
Is there any more?? Loved it, thank you.
I can't remember if Private Secretary aired before the show she was in with Zazu Pitts, when she was a Hostess on a cruise ship and Zazu played a nail polish gal in the hair salon. There was a third show which she lived at home - I think that one was called "My Little Margie" The boat show could have been "Oh, Suzanna" - too lazy to look it up on imdb.com at the moment. She really was funny. And gad, I am that old, even though I was a little munchkin at the time. Gasp.
berrygoodstuff You are confusing Ann Southern with Gale Storm. Southern was also a movie star, famous for the Maizie movies.
If you noticed that Ann, who ate pretty good those days, didn't have a double chin, the makeup man in the credits is Gene Hibbs, master of the face pull. You put a thin line of sheer fabric under the chin, tug it back sharply, then glue it in the back of the neck under the hair or wig. Hibbs worked for Judy Garland and Eva Gabor, among others.
+A Krenwinkle Thats why A Southern always wore black on the show ...you'll notice. Black is slimming, especially on television
+A Krenwinkle also,,is their Vaseline on A Southern's closeups?
+Ronald Davis I don't know but Rex Reed accused Lucille Ball of having chicken fat used on her Mame close-ups.
This is a GREAT episode making a great point!....Landlords against cats............And for the money they charge!
First part telecasted: 1956.03.08 - Cat in the Hot Tin File, second perhaps 1956.04.01 - The Little Caesar of Bleeker Street.
Hey Mark you must be a kid. I watched these on B&W TV on original airings...65 and still alive...AMAZING...Ed
+Ed Halfen-Same here-I'm 66.
Waitaminit, she starred in two different series under the same premise with the SAME CAST? Weird.
Ann Sothern and Lucille Ball were best friends from their movie-making days. Desilu bought out Jack Chertok Films and the rights to the "Private Secretary" show, which Chertok was allowed to keep syndicating. (Legal rules then prevented producers from syndicating some shows.) Desilu semi-flipped the script, so to speak, turning Susie-now Katie-McNamara (Sothern) into a luxury New York hotel manager, Vi-now Olive-Praskins (Ann Tyrell) as her assistant manager, and Peter Devery (Don Porter, later "Gidget's" widower dad) as the hotel owner. Lucille Ball played Lucy Ricardo in the second season opener "Ann Sothern Show'' in September, 1959...it's on TH-cam.
After producer Jack Chertok fought with Ann Sothern, the cast of Private Secretary/Susie (1953-57) moved to The Ann Sothern Show (1958-61) in very similar roles that the fans enjoyed, but they couldn't use the same character names because Jack Chertok withheld the rights.
AHH!
Wow! I guess you are older than I am because I remember this show. Without 'Private Secretary', there would not have been a 'Nine to Five'.
Seems a nice series! 40s/50s female fashion is always a turn on for a guy like me
