The show began when Rudy Vallee saw it
as a play and encouraged Clifford Goldsmith, the writer, to perform it on The Rudy Vallee Show. After rave
reviews, The Aldrich Family went on to perform for 39 weeks on The Kate Smith Hour.In 1939, it became
so popular that The Aldrich Family took their own prime time slot on
Sunday evenings. The show was a big success. By 1941, it rated in the top ten
with Jack Benny, Bob Hope, and Fibber McGee and Molly.
In the show, Ezra Stone starred as 16-year old Henry Aldrich, also known as
"Penrod of the '40's." In his 13 years, Henry Aldrich had more disasters, chaos,
and craziness than a closet full of squirrels let loose in a glass house. Henry
accidentally managed to create hilariously disastrous situations out of anything
he could get his hands on, whether it be a telephone or a flat tire. So put on
your hard hat and get ready for the punchline, because Henry is "Coming
Mother!" |
