Aldrich Family part 1

"The Aldrich Family' TV series, June 18. 1950-part 1 of 2 includes original commercial at end and jello commercial voice over with the opening credits.

[@fordlandau]

I remember the opening lines "Henry... Henry Aldrich!" from TV when I was a kid in the 60s. Very good to see it here. Actually stands up quite well 64 years later.

[@KJ06682]

Awesome to hear from someone from that times perspective. Anything else you remember well? I'd love to hear some stories if you don't mind 😁

[@shawnmalone9711]

The Henry Aldrich TV show sounds like the Henry Aldrich old time radio show. I bet people used to close their eyes and said , We gave up radio for this? Lol!

[@pgh45rpms]

When this aired, actor Robert Casey, who plays Henry Aldrich, was a week shy of his 23rd birthday.

[@patsirianni7984]

When life was simple and wholesome and Family was important.

[@powerist209]

Well, the source of old Merry Melodies jokes of "Henry".

[@APOCALYPSE_X-MEN]

Henry! Henry Fonda!! Coming Mother!

[@TonyHickschick]

This is great. I have CD's of the old radio program and it is cool to see it on TV

[@kathyoneill8113]

Have you checked "Old Time Radio" Web site? They have a lot of episodes. Maybe you haven't heard one or two

[@liamroberts9047]

Hello Tony, How are you doing?

[@DomenicDee]

The really early days of television when there was no laugh track on a sitcom!

[@mpee9564]

damn I'm 32 and love this show so much

[@almason253]

Another fine COVID-19 free production.

[@GeorgeVreelandHill]

Nothing like these old shows. Thank you.

[@chevy266nova]

Another wonderful old TV show. we never missed it. Thank you for the memories.

[@liamroberts9047]

Hello Jean, How are you doing?

[@garyandleslied]

wish there were more of these available from tv of this series. I never knew it was on tv besides the radio and movies.

[@charlesramos4294]

I love Lois Wilson as “Mrs.Aldrich”❤️🌹🌹💕 She began in silent films for Lois Weber in the mid 1910’s. Her surviving silent films ‘The End of the Game’ (1919) ‘Miss Lulu Bett’ (1922) ‘Manslaughter’ (1922) ‘The Covered Wagon’ (1923) along with talking films ‘Deluge’ (1933) ‘The Secrets of Wu Sin’ (1932) and as Shirley Temple’s Mother In ‘Bright Eyes’ (1934) and as Virginia Mayo’s mother in ‘The Girl From Jones Beach’ (1949) with Ronald Reagan are among my favorites!

[@stevemallibull]

Thanks for putting this on KZbin - now my kids can see why I often call them with -- "Henry--- henry Aldridge' and reply with . ' Coming mother ". They now know where I got it from . Goes with 'The Nelsons' ';Dobie Gillis', Fred McMurray, 'Leave it to Beaver' ,'The Honeymooners' and all those 50s and 60s classics

[@susiebear3316]

yes now I know why my grandma always says it's not funny McGee from Fibber McGee LOL

[@itiswhatitaintanditaintwha1427]

steve mallibull I was going to say "Don't forget about Lucy!" .But EVERYONE knows about that one!

[@debbiesmith792]

Reminds me of Father Knows Best. Didn't an old cartoon parody the Henry call? Sounds familiar.

[@armenian_nightmare33]

It's much better on radio!

[@desertrose7058]

thanks for putting this up. love the old shows

[@monkfan72]

It sounds like the same people as on the radio program.

[@tesspeelz]

Makes me feel at home

[@fromthesidelines]

This appeared during the first season of the TV series, on NBC's Sunday night schedule at 7:30pm(et), while the original radio edition {starring Ezra Stone} aired on NBC's Thursday night schedule, for the same sponsor. House Jameson also played "Sam Aldrich" on the radio show...

[@michellepost1016]

I was born 1960 so this was before my time and it's never been on any TV channel in my area during my lifetime.However, I was always aware of it, and have listened to the old radio show of it on cassette before.It's funny.The father looks kinda old to be Henry's dad.

[@liamroberts9047]

Hello Michelle, How are you doing?

[@thatjpwing]

Henry is “Alexander Phipps” in the electric appliance sitcom “Young Man’s Fancy”.

[@onionhat745]

I recall that from MST3K.

[@TheNighthawk66]

Thanks so much for uploading this. I think The Aldrich Family is the most obscure hit show show out there. I can't even find a cast photo on the internet.

[@Novalarke]

Porgie! Porgie Tirebiter!" C-c-c COMING MOTHER!

[@rmelin13231]

You got it. He's so good with the servants.

[@Novalarke]

@@rmelin13231 - stop torturing me Ethel.

[@ferociousgumby]

The ads sung by a chorus are always the best part.

[@BrandonKohout]

Coming, mother!

[@ericsamuelson5656]

The Aldrich Family TV series ran on NBC for 4 years from 1949-53

[@gabriellesinclair971]

After listening to the radio show I thought they would be younger 😂 but then again tv came after radio programs so they obviously aged 😂

[@chevy266nova]

I remember this show.

[@russianbear4959]

Just give the man butter lol

[@curiosity6320]

watching in 2016 :)

[@mwatts-riley2688]

How could any one give this a thumbs DOWN? M. IL.

[@Boogetyboo]

Henryyyyyyyyyyyyy!

[@craigsmith157]

The same year my mother was born and now she's the Great-grandmother of a 9 year old.

[@craigsmith157]

Now stick that in your pipe and smoke it!

[@PASBGR]

+Heisenberg White Little dude, you have some serious issues...

[@hunkosaurusrex]

HAHA! Excellent choice of vernacular Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham, excellent.

[@nathanwatson6826]

Pretty sure this was on television from 1949 to 1954 and even placed in the top 15 in the ratings for its 2nd season yet this is the only episode I've ever seen. Where'd you get this episode? Why is there nothing else available? Is it all lost or is it a rights issue? Anyone have a clue?

[@IzludeTingel]

what scene in what episode does the lady yell HENRYYYYY! (famous for being in a lot of pop media including tom and jerry)

[@josephnewberry9290]

+Izlude Tingel It was always part of the radio show opening. Henry's mother yells "HEEENRY, Henry Aldrich!" and he responds, "Coming mother!" just like he does at the beginning of this TV episode. She does sometimes do it during the actual show as a callback to the opening.

[@shawnmalone9711]

Boy , Homer looks like a dork ,lol! I pictured him looking like Dizzy ( Charles Smith ) from the 1940s Henry Aldrich movies.

[@smileysatanson3404]

Immediatly got looney tunes flashbacks

[@eddielopezfett]

Veeery Nice.

[@michellepost5232]

This show was funny, but before my time.I was born 1960, but I saw some old movies on TV of that family, during my childhood. Henry and Homer both have shrill voices. I don't know why this show was never on tv, like anytime since 1980, as old reruns. I've listened to some of the radio shows of it before.The father kinda looks like Jack Cassidy.

[@fanfilmtvcritic2848]

Does anyone happen to know the title of this episode? It's very hard to find information on the episodes for TV. I thought someone might know. Ta :)

[@brianarbenz7206]

Why do I get the feeling we saw Homer with a different last name in a series that began 40 years later?

[@a1diemus]

is this episode the only one on KZbin? I enjoyed matching Homer's voice to the actor's face (kelk).

[@tmphil5777]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXqzeX5rrNalmaM Maybe the ILed3LivesFan channel has more, but I didn't look.

[@rr7firefly]

Poor Henry Aldrich was portrayed as a twit with a high-pitched nasal voice.

[@mwatts-riley2688]

Who is homer brown played by? M. Il.

[@russianbear4959]

Listens to Henry's friend.....holy crap......how old are you haha sees Jimmy......normal voice? What dimension is this????

[@christiansgrandma6812]

Were these the same actors used on the radio?

[@Beatlejoose56]

He directed the Munsters, and some Love American Styles , he was killed in a car accident in 1995.

[@joshua7426]

Henry's voice doesnt really match his look lol

[@TheFutureLooksGrimm]

That’s what I was thinking! None of them look as I pictured them from listening to the radio show except maybe the father. Henry and Homer don’t match at all. I thought Henry had glasses.

[@aartmark]

Georgie Tirebiter and the groat cakes.

[@itiswhatitaintanditaintwha1427]

Rice pudding? Yuck!😝 Make mine Butterscotch!

[@allenharper2928]

Hennnnryyyy! Henry Fonda! Coming mother!

[@eugenekozma2697]

I saw this on videotape back in 1993.i heard that this is the only episode that exists.too bad.such a waste.i hear that a lot of live TV shows do not exist.too bad.an utter waste.

[@Whomper27]

it is

[@SWORDYJINKERO]

Swerve in the back

[@ottomorris8007]

Cute show, but the acting is…um…well it’s definitely something alright. Why did the young actors feel the need to sound like they were 6 yrs old and like they had some developmental issues?

[@jamesfernandez3627]

I'm watching this because of the Merrie Melodies satire.

[@jamesfernandez3627]

Henry!!!

[@jamesfernandez3627]

Slim Pickens millennials don't watch Merrie Melodies

[@jamesfernandez3627]

Slim Pickens you sound a jackass yourself. Stop sniffing those solvent!

[@ferociousgumby]

Unsold pilot?

[@BrandonKohout]

Henry Cavill’s mom: HENRY!!!!!!! HENRY CAVILL!!!!!!!!!!! Henry Cavill: Coming, mother!

[@user-pp1on4fk7d]

The son and his friends were gay!

[@danielstanwyck2812]

Bloody awful Those 23 kids, henry, mary and homer were lkike 10 years too old to be playing these parts. Theiur voices were atrocious - completely out of synch with what they looked like. it was like watching a borung nightnare.
