I liked this show better than other sitcoms: Lucy, I Married Joan. There's a great movie called Stage Door, with Katherine Hepburn, but Even Arden's the best thing in it. She was also good in Anatomy of a Murder, as the wise-cracking secy. desperate for a new typewriter: "--Arty of the --irst --art!"
This Al Lewis was a writer/director (long associated with the radio show, along with producer Larry Berns), who also produced the initial episodes of Arden's "THE MOTHERS-IN-LAW" for Desi Arnaz [before Elliott Lewis succeeded him]. These titles are the "reissue" edition, first seen on CBS' daytime schedule in 1956 before it was syndicated: the original titles featured sponsor I.D.'s {and logos} for General Foods.
Our Miss Brooks, also has Gale Gordon & Mary Jane Croft, of The Lucy Show , As well as a young Col. Trautman himself Richard Crenna of the Rambo movies fame.
I always think of this show with great affection, because Miss Brooks reminds me a lot of my mother, who was also a tall, classy (and clever) high school English teacher.
It was a different Al Lewis. I hear the name on many old radio shows on XM/Sirius classic radio channel. This Al Lewis was a writer of many, many classic radio comedies, and not the "Grandpa" on the Munsters.

Can anyone confirm if the "Al Lewis" listed in the credits was "Grandpa" Al Lewis from The Munsters?
