How awesome that we can watch these old shows from way back. I can remember watching these shows as a young kid. It’s a damn shame that they just don’t do tv like this anymore, now everything seems to be “reality shows.” Love that I can watch this on KZread, brings back great memories.

They definitely do not make shows like this anymore. Danny Thomas was terrific and I loved to hear him sing.

"Make Room for Daddy" was produced at Desilu, although not by Desilu. Despite all this, it was Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz who engaged Danny Thomas for the show and it was Desilu that promoted the show to audiences. Ball and Arnaz considered it their third show. even though they didn't produce it. Danny Thomas was publicly ever-grateful to Ball and Arnaz for taking a chance on his show. That was evident in the crossover shows that Danny Thomas' tv family and thr Ricardos made on each other's shows.

Her death was just discussed on the show, and barely, at that. Having a major character die was considered a risky move for the 1950's. Divorce was never an option in an era where the word 'pregnant' was taboo and couples slept in twin beds. They were going to have Danny Williams as a single parent but the ratings slipped, so Marjorie Lord was brought on board as Kathy O'Hara, as well as her daughter, Linda.

daddies little girl ! Thanks

Despite being older than my old grey grandmother ,the comedy is streets ahead of the complete rubbish produced today

“Marvelous Mrs Maisel”, season 5, episode 7. Short scene “The Danny Stevens Show” at the end based on this episode of “Make Room for Daddy”.

The Danny Thomas Show on www.metv.com/videos/ is high def for an old B&W show. Much better than it could have ever looked on the TV's we had back then.

I have been trying to get this, on DVD, but to no avail. Omg, 70 years have passed, not the same country. These people wouldn't recognize it.

Randolph certainly did the best she could with the material given her.

Jean Hagen died of throat cancer in 1977. Make Room for Daddy turned out to be quite successful and Ms Hagen continued to star in this TV show for 3 seasons running until she left, reasons not explained but various rumors abounded that she was too tempermental to work with the cast, had several rows with her leading co-star Danny Thomas, wasn't happy the way the producers portrayed her character as being too ineffectual for her liking or was a closet alcoholic, a fact which would blight her TV/film career so her character was killed off until Marjorie Lord took over, being cast as the 2nd wife.

After a year a look alike actress replaced her, she eventually left the series too when they married her off to Pat Harrington. Sherry wanted to break out of being typecast as sweet little Terry, by her late teens she had blossomed into a great beauty and roles as an ingenue on such shows as 77 Sunset Strip awaited. She was great as a gun moll in one episode! Unfortunately, and ironically it being Hollywood, her incredible curves held her back as producers took one look at her and didn't take her seriously as a legit actress capable of dramatic roles. They might have had a small point, in one 77 Sunset Strip episode she played a mountain girl in pants so tight they looked painted on, she was so distracting you lost sight of the plot. That was par for the course on 77, they had the most starlets appearing in Hollywood history, but Jackson wanted a serious career. She didn't get it, but she is a fine person and you won't find negative thing said about her in Hollywood, which is rare.

@pkspalding

She left the show after five years. Was very close to Jean Hagen, who had a three year contract and left then. Jackson wanted to leave but was held to her five year contract. In the show, she went off to college, after making a few appearances to set up an 'off to college' storyline. Penny Parker replaced her later, in order to marry her off and move to the West Coast.

Too bad these TV shows are a thing of the past. I will say that I liked Marjorie Lord better. I HATE living in the 21st century!
