I Married Joan S1-04 "Jitterbug" 11/05/1952

[@pkihu9910]

I never heard of Joan Davis or this series. Thank you for posting!! 😂 She is wonderful

[@youyong28]

As should be very apparent here, Joan Davis was a talented dancer as well as the funniest comedienne ever to grace the screen. She could also sing.

[@DottyGale8]

I am so glad you have these online. About 6 or 7 years ago, this show was on about 1am here every night. That's how I discovered it - I'd stay up every night to watch it. I was saddened when they took it off the air. So I'm excited to be about to find it on KZbin! Jim is great in his role. It's sad that most people only know him as Mr. Howell and don't realize just what a talented, accomplished actor he really was. Thank you for sharing these with us!

[@krell2130]

Hello Dotty, I hope you are well.

[@robertfiller8634]

Yes, Lovie! Jim Backus also did some great vocal characterizations on Merrie Melodies/Looney Tunes cartoons, and, of course, was famous as the voice of Mr. Magoo!

[@upthedownescalator630]

He was even in Charlie's Angels

[@janetlieb2507]

First saw the show in the early 80s when Nickelodeon channel ran the show. They also ran the jack benny's show and Burns and allen.

[@eugenekozma2697]

Yes Jim Backus needs to be credited for his work on I married joan.sadly I married joan is seldom seen on TV unlike Gilligan's Island which is why he has suffered an unjust fate to be remembered for solely Gilligan's Island

[@uncjim]

I remember the show. It’s a grey memory for, having been a little boy of 5 years. Seeing them today is like finding buried treasure. Thank you.

[@jackriggs1805]

I was nine years old watching this on tv. Can't stop laughing till it hurts. Such great TV. Lucy had nothing on Joan.

[@JoanDavisChannel]

+Jack Riggs Wow! Thanks for your comments. It makes what we do worthwhile. Joan gave me lots of enjoyment growing up. So happy to share that now and do what we can to keep her great work alive. Please stay tuned! and thanks again.

Nice show. I really like her very much. She was great in physical comedy.

[@pammcwhorter877]

I wish kids could watch more shows like this. They have role models watching this.

[@paulcaron400]

I loved Joan Davis her sitcom and the movies she appeared in. She was remarkably talented💜

[@scotnick59]

Very much a poor man's version of I LOVE LUCY

[@dudley5533]

That jitterbug dancing Joan does in this episode is just another one of her acrobatic and comedy dances she has done in her career over the years which can be seen is many of her old films......she's the best!

[@ciroandsteven2407]

Thanks so much for all your support. Have you looked at our Joan retrospective on the Joan Davis Channel page? It chronicles her very first appearance in "Way Up Thar" to almost her last in the Pilot "Joan of Arkansas." There was an additional pilot "The Joan Davis Show" which is available for viewing at UCLA Film/TV Library. Thanks again.

[@dudley5533]

@@ciroandsteven2407 The famous Joan Davis "skid routine" she has done in films and TV episodes has to be the most clever and funny piece of comedy I've ever seen. In the Joan Davis "My Swiss Hilly Billy" number from a film in 1937 shows her remarkable ability at humorous acrobatics doing the routine several times. PRICELESS!

[@dr.sheilaharper6015]

I Love Lucy first aired June 15, 1951 and finished on May 6th, 1957. I Married Joan first aired on Oct. 15th,1952, and ended on April 6th,1957. ( I love watching both them!)

[@jimmyflanagan5938]

Was on in the morning during the 60s. As a teenager I loved watching this show

[@sissytacsiat548]

It's A Great Show😄 I'm sad to say I never saw until Now!! I've been married 31 Years!! Married@ 18& No!! I wasn't pregnant!! We both went to College!! My Husband & Family Drives Me Crazy!!!

To Say Thank You For These Episodes!! While , Husband & Family Are Into Actions Movies!! It's Great Now!! I Can Just Watch A Episode That Can Make Me Laugh!! The Way This Women Does😂😂 Thank You For Sharing 😄

[@Master_Blackthorne]

You know guys, whenever I see these gems my eyes get moist at what inflation has done to us. When I was in 7th grade back in 1964, lunch in the school cafeteria was 35 cents, a cone of ice cream was 5 cents, an Aurora monster model was 89 cents a jar of peanut butter was 59 cents and a trip to the movies (lodges!) was 75 cents. Would anyone like to join me in a good cry?

[@JoanDavisChannel]

Master Blackthorne Thanks so much for your comments, always. Yes I would. Anybody have a tissue?

[@davemanning8204]

Yeah, & I was born in 57. But I remember when. Ain't these great post? Just to remind you of how simple & cool things were. MyDaMnWoRd❗😎🔫

[@DJK-cq2uy]

Thanks to RepubliCONs

[@allison9090]

That was actually pretty funny

[@JoanDavisChannel]

When originally broadcast, IMJ had a few different openings, some were like what you see in "Career," some had a bird's eye view of Joan through the kitchen window going into the refrigerator (sponsor GE), and others had a few scenes from the particular episode the titles preceded. Look at "Model," and you'll see an actual original of this type. We have recreated this type of opening to perhaps spark a memory of the episode's content. The "Wedding Cake" titles came later, in syndication.

[@XX-gy7ue]

I LOVE HER

[@m1k3ywestley7]

$.85 for a steak dinner?! WOW!

joan was better than lucy and i love the way brad got her back

[@bobbeaumont324]

I agree. Jim & Joan were better together than Lucy & Desi. It was nice how Brad allowed Joan to try her schemes and held her accountable while Ricky seemed more controlling.

I remember this show, The Donna Reed Show etc. on the early day's of Nick at Nite. You could let your kids watch. Now, except for a couple shows it's getting nasty.... Not that I'm a prude but kids need something besides cartoons.

[@JoanDavisChannel]

Agree. Thanks for watching.

[@jeprice08]

Hey, hey, hey! Take it easy, will you, boys? There's only ONE cook, ONE waitress and she just happens to be both! You can't expect her to work the way you expect her to work if you're going to be jerks about it and not give her the time she actually needs! Wait! Or would you boys like to get up off of your bony rear ends and fix the rest of your meals yourselves? Now give her a break! And as for you, Judge Stevens, don't you think you're overdoing it? Your wife is dying in there and she needs help, YOUR help! And you know she needs help! Don't just stand there, help her! Either tell the boys to lay off of her or put on an apron and pitch in! I don't care which, but do something! Drop...the damn...act! I know this is only a sitcom, but that's how I feel. I'm on Joan's side.

[@robertfiller8634]

I felt like that watching it; however, afterwards I thought about it and realize it was done to highlight Joan Davis' comedic talents which are beautifully on display as she is worn to a frazzle trying to keep up with the demands put upon her.....something like Lucille Ball stomping grapes or at the chocolate factory.

[@markbarret6836]

Joanne was a trouper.

Joan would die from a heart attack at 53 in 1961. Her daughter Beverly in 1963 would die in a house fire along with her 2 sons, and Joan's mother. Beverly who was 30 was, smoking in bed. Her sons were 7 and 4

Sally was Joan's daughter and she and her two sons and Joan's mother were killed in a house fire just a couple of years after Joan's death. Why not show some respect ?

@@terryowensby5690 That was not Joan's daughter, Beverley Wills, who played Joan's younger sister on the show.
