Welcome to a new Wildcard Wednesday! Just as I’ve done the past few months, this week I’m offering another brief update regarding my new book, GREAT AMERICAN SITCOMS OF THE 1950s, which you can always purchase from me here, on Amazon here, or anywhere online that books are sold — including from the publisher itself, McFarland.

One of the perks in buying from me — aside from getting a signed (or even personalized) copy — is that I’ll also send you info on how to access a special Dropbox folder where you can view some of the rarer, hard-to-find episodes discussed in the book. In fact, every month since the February release, I’ve been rotating episodes into that folder, and this week I just put in new selections from Our Miss Brooks, The Jack Benny Program, Date With The Angels, and The George Burns And Gracie Allen Show. They join previously featured installments of I Married Joan, The Bob Cummings Show, and The Ann Sothern Show. Interested? Purchase the book from me here!

In that vein, here’s something I’ve shared on this blog before — it’s “Where There Is A Will” (February 22, 1953), an early episode of Ann Sothern’s first TV sitcom, Private Secretary, which features a guest appearance by the great Jack Benny. I mention it briefly in my book. Enjoy!

Come back next week for another Wildcard! And stay tuned Tuesday for more Parks And Rec!
