Jess Oppenheimer was a brilliant producer and writer and has never gotten the credit he rightfully deserves.

The humor is clever, clean and fun. Love the mid-century decor and clothes, too.

[@BETTERWORLDSGT]

Very nice show! I want to watch all the Episodes

The actress who played Angel is SO cute!

"ANGEL" appeared on CBS' Thursday night schedule during the 1960-'61 season, 'fuzzy'- and lasted just one season. In those days, commercial breaks were about a minute apiece, and featured at the beginning, middle and end of a program [a holdover from radio's "golden days"], representing one or- at the most- two sponsors. Today, there's almost six minutes of commercials (and promos) per half-hour, with numerous "sponsors"...and excessive "clutter"..

Looks like the basic set from the Dick VanDyke Show.

THey filmed at Desilu, too.

such a cute show.

The dust cloth in the commercial sounds like Lamb Chop.

[@fromthesidelines]

General Foods [Post] was the primary sponsor of the series (as well as "THE DANNY THOMAS SHOW"), with S.C. Johnson {Johnson's Wax}, the makers of "Pledge", as their "alternate sponsor"; both had the right to flash their logo and/or products in a corner of the closing credits. Eliot Daniel also wrote the original "I LOVE LUCY" theme as well.

The funny blonde actress Doris Singleton from the I Love Lucy TV show I think she played Caroline Applebee one of Lucy's friends on that original TV show.??

[@fromthesidelines]

Yes.

Does Anyone Know if Annie Farge is still Alive ? I really like The Angel show she was in. Her and Marshall Thompson made a great couple like Lucy And Desi . A great funny show But only ran for about a year . A big fan !

I Just LITTERALLY discovered this wonderful show this very morning, any chance the you have the episode entitled the maid

[@spazzcat03]

Are you sure ? I'm so sad , I love her from the Tv show called Angel from 1960 , That is such a funny show the Characters were so good on the show also . All these years I wondered if she is still alive , And now I hear she just died ? I'm just so shocked about this , Thank you sir for Telling me . now i know , Do you Know How she died ? And how old she was ?

[@licxstar]

It's actually quite charming if you can get into it. Reminds me so much of Lucy in the production sense. Even one of the wives was on the I love lucy show. Not as dynamic a couple but it does go to show you that Oppenhiemer was the "brains behind the I love lucy show" at times Elliot Daniels backround music and exit trax seem identical to Lucy. I love everything old so I dig it and will watch some more. what year was this produced?? Thx for posting :)

[@MacPherson100000]
