The Anderson Family

The Anderson Family is a fairly typical Family Situation Comedy, featuring a noble but semi-inept father, a loving and sometimes acid wife, and a precocious scamp who seems to have more on the ball than his parents. In this case, the program is a showcase for one of radio's longest lasting scamps, Walter Tetley, also known for playing nephew Leroy on The Great Gildersleeve and the delivery boy Julius who had a crush on Alice Faye on the Phil Harris-Alice Faye Show.

Comedy

Mr. Walter Tetley"Uh oh! Here we go again folks!" Junior Anderson begins the show with this proclamation as one of the Andersons causes some sort of trouble. An organ rips away as we learn of this week's troubles. What will happen on this show? Will Junior kick Butch's rare $11 football through Mr. Delancy's greenhouse windows? Will Mrs. Anderson want to take singing lessons from J.J. Tuttle, teacher of voice and big game hunter while Mr. Anderson vows that that man won't bring his "moose call" in their house?

Tetley later performed as the voice artist for many animated cartoons including the voice of Mr. Peabody's Orange- haired boy, Sherman.The Anderson Family is a Hollywood Broadcaster's Production, written by Howard Swartz and directed by Herb Litton. This hilarious situational comedy centers around the comedic situations of Mr. Oliver Anderson (played by Dick Oliver), sourpuss and general disagreer, Mrs. Mary Anderson (played by Louise Arthur), who often knows best, and their son Junior (played by Walter Tetley). Tetley was a well-known voice artist who created a strong following impersonating children in old time radio shows. He also appeared as Leroy on The Great Gildersleeve and Julius Abbruzio on the Phil Harris & Alice Faye Show. He later went on to do the voice of Andy Panda as well as Mr. Peabody's orange-haired boy, Sherman, in the animated tv series, "Rocky and Bullwinkle."

    Very fun show! Walter Tetley is great as always. He also played Leroy on the Great Gildersleeve and Julius on the Phil Harris show. The first episode is unusual! Why not listen?
