Loved the show. Even would watch the reruns in the afternoon after school.

[@milliesmith5068]

Love the show.

[@dma124]

Still better than ANYTHING on the air today, hands down.

[@freddyfurrah3789]

Wish we had a show like this today. 😢

[@braininjuredbabe]

Its why I buy all these classics on dvd 👍

[@michellelansky4490]

And don't these make you feel so good and happy to watch as opposed to coming away feeling all sullied and depressed.

[@leah6820-y9v]

Measles definitely makes me feel good.

It's back on the air, Catchy Comedy channel.

[@gailchypyha3587]

I agree!

[@Celluloidwatcher]

Thank you for the episode, Danny Meets Kathy, of The Danny Thomas Show from Season 4 in early 1957 on ABC-TV. Saw how it how began for the two of them. Knock on wood... 🙂

I love that apartment, the brick walls, the furniture, the staircase, art, I would not change a thing.

[@akrenwinkle]

In NY, you'd had to have been a multi-millionaire then, a billionaire now, to have that apartment. Not so realistic, but, well, it's television.

[@breckrichardson390]

And curiously, every season they made modifications to the apartment, without explanation. Sometimes they were slight changes, sometimes sigificant.

[@akrenwinkle]

@@breckrichardson390 I think they were completely different apartments because, for one thing, the front door was sometimes on the left, the right, or in the center.

Haven't seen this show in years forgot how great it is. This and That Girl are great nostalgic shows of substance.. Thanks for sharing!

[@EricLehner]

Great scripts in this era! Wholesome "natural" comedy.

Originally telecast on April 4, 1957. Marjorie Lord's first appearance- and she and Danny hit it off right from the start. He *KNEW* from the audience's reaction she'd eventually become his co-star for the next seven years.

Wow !!!

I had the Measles, the Chicken Pox and the Mumps. Couldn't forget I had them because they all made me miserable. This is a funny episode.

ABC cancelled the series after this season ending four parter. Danny had been made aware that ABC was going to cancel the series prior to them informing him Lucille Ball had told Danny that her series was done and CBS was looking for a series to replace it. Danny's show was filmed at Desilu. The show moved to CBS in the Fall of 1957 taking the Lucy timeslot. Danny's show finished at number two in the ratings that season ( 1957-58) . It only finished out of the top ten once in 7 seasons on CBS. At the end of season 11 Danny pulled the plug. It could've easily lasted another 2 or 3 seasons at least. But Danny was done.

A nurse in high heels, I don't think so.

[@thelastjohnwayne]

She looked Great

[@saran3214]

I sold nurse's shoes, no nurse would ever wear those and now they wear tennis shoes. The low heeled oxford from the 40s were what she would have worn, they were comfortable.

[@saran3214]

@@Skedawg88 This TV show existed. The actors existed. The costuming existed. The actor performing had the wrong shoes on, those would never have been worn as they are not professional. She would not have worn a medieval costume for the same reason. You are here commenting on something you don't consider reality, so why are you here?

[@beegood14]

@@saran3214. You’re so right. A nurse would never, ever wear high heels. I know it’s just a tv show, but she still would have looked nice with real nurses’s shoes and not heels.

What happened to girls like this nurse!!? So famine and beautiful!

The nurses decided they'd rather wear scrubs and look like the female janitors

[@saran3214]

@@WayneMarion You are right. They used to look professional and respectable.

[@beegood14]

Except real nurses wore white, clean nurses shoes and not high heels. My mother was a nurse.

[@sherryhook9066]

My mom was a practical nurse, wore white stocking, sensible flat shoes, white dress uniform and the cap. These was in the 60s and 70s.

[@beegood14]

I don’t know of any nurse, who would wear high heels. The director of the show could have had her wear real nurse’s shoes that were white and normal for a real nurse. The beginning of Danny trying to go upstairs was too long and drawn out.

[@EricLehner]

Proof that you'll never be able to please "everyone". There's always a party pooper around to throw cold water on a situation.

[@beep7]

The end of her lines about degrees and service would've been followed by lively applause just a few years later. Silence from audience. My goodness.

[@alexandriabaroque937]

Maybe in 1957 the audience considered the nurse's accomplishments to be a simple fact that spoke for itself, not something calling for a virtue-signaling response.
