If
there were ever a television sitcom whose story lines were always
fun and never stale, "My Little Margie" had to be it.
Through 126 episodes, Gale Storm and a peerless cast kept the audience
glued to their television screens. In fact, the audience was also
happily glued to their radios because "My Little Margie"
went from TV to radio beginning on December 7, 1952. The radio cast
consisted of Gale and Charlie (reprising their screen roles), Gill
Stratton Jr. as Freddie, Will Wright as Honeywell, and Verna Felton
as Mrs. Odetts. These radio plays were not merely simulcasts of
the TV show, but different original episodes.
Fans can track down comic books (''My Little Margie" and "Margie's
Boyfriends") and paper dolls. TV magazines of the time usually
featured an article on Gale Storm or on the series.
"My Little Margie" remains one of the best-loved television
shows of all time despite the fact that it isn't in wide circulation
on television these days. Collectors trade tapes of the shows-dealers
sell tapes of the shows and fans hold this series in their hearts
and cherish every precious moment. There are no longer shows like
My Little Margie and that's most unfortunate.
