MARGIE "The Sheik" Cynthia Pepper & Jimmy Hawkins

This show was supposed to have been set in the 1920s, but it sure looks like the 1950s. Thanks for posting, though.

This episode originally aired on November 9, 1961. Even though this was originally scheduled after "MY THREE SONS", "MARGIE" was forced off Thursday nights by April 1962 because of its competition: NBC's "HAZEL", which (following "DR. KILDARE") was #1 its its time period. A move to Fridays at 7:30pm(et) also met with viewer indifference- how'd you like to be opposite CBS's "RAWHIDE" and NBC's "INTERNATIONAL SHOWTIME", with Don Ameche?

Can anyone, anywhere, put more of this show on You Tube? I remember it from my childhood. Would also like to see "Hank," if anyone has that.

So would I....Jimmy Hawkins was on that show too....

It is great to see this. I remember this show when I was little. It only lasted one year but it was one of my favorites. Another short lived series I would love to see is Bringing Up Buddy.

If you look carefully - you can see Yvonne Craig in the group scene at about the 2:30 mark. She was also appearing on Dobie Gillis around that time. She of course later became known at Batgirl!

I also enjoyed seeing the Margie clip. It was one of my favorite shows when I was in 8th grade, I had been playing cornet for only 6 months then but could play Margie and other 1920's songs like Black Bottom, Charleston and The Shiek Of Araby.

"After all is said and done, there is really only one

Oh Margie, Margie,

It's Youuuuuu!"

I still remember the opening theme after all these years. God bless you Youtubers!!

I remember this series from the early '60's and had been hoping to find it so that I could enjoy it again. I've thought of this series often over the ensuing years, and I am so very grateful that you showed this clip. I now find myself wanting to see the rest of this episode as well as all of them! It was such a little jewel, you don't find such shows in today's tv. Again, thank you!!!

[wilmoer]

I agree totally....nobody even seems to remember this program. I'm glad to know at least some video still exists!

[Juliaflo]

So am I. Those of you who love forgotten television programs, raise your hand.

I waited forty seven years to see this show again. Even as young as I was, I throughly enjoyed Margie that year. Dave Willock (the father) was my favorite in the show. Why can't You Tube post two entire episodes of this show? I am sure there are others who remember it and would like to see it again

You mirrored my thoughts about "Margie"almost exactly. I wanted to see it again since 1962( even looked for it on a VHS video years ago) The idea of a family sitcom in the 1920's was brilliant.

But, the show was perhaps a year too late to be sucessful as the "Untouchables" and "Some Like it Hot"

craze that created it was fading by the end of 1961.
