Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

dgaither89 Like I said I have seen a lot of 1950s TV shows this one is the least funniest of them all. Our Miss Brooks started in 1952 and ran to 1956. This show comes on early in the morning where I live so I watch it before I go to work while I am getting dressed I have seen maybe about 15 to 18 episodes and the show is not funny. Bad enough the theme music sounds like I Love Lucy she wears that same hairstyle as Lucille Ball but she is a blonde. She's always chasing after some school teacher want him to like her she doesn't make enough money to live on her own evidently and she has a school student drive her to work I have seen enough episodes to make this judgement. As time went on I'd watch it maybe it was just that one episode that wasn't funny but the next episode wasn't funny and the next one wasn't funny so after about 15 episodes than I made the judgement that said the show wasn't funny and just let it go but as I read more about the show people love it and I just don't see why. Some people seem to think that old 1950s TV shows are classic and they are funny that is not true. This is a prime example of that. I Love Lucy was funny Phil Silvers show was funny. This show has a laugh track or it was filmed before a live studio audience but you can tell the audience is being told to laugh. Sad. Maybe the audience was paid to sit through this 30 minutes dreaded television I know I would have to be paid.

edwagreen Absolutely, an outstanding television show fully realizing the comedic talents of Eve Arden and Gale Gordon-English teacher and principal of Madison H.S. The exchanges between those two are memorable. Teachers of yesteryear may have even had some of those challenges as well.When the show was first being casted, Miss Brooks was supposed to be a gym teacher. When Arden was cast for the starring role, the writers and director correctly saw that her diction merited the part being changed to an English teacher. How right they were.With a support like landlady Davis and biology teacher, Mr. Boynton, who Brooks wanted and would go miles to get, a perfect comic imagery of high school life was depicted. Of course, Walter Denton, our favorite student, etched an unforgettable character as played by an excellent Richard Crenna. This show was certainly indicative of the lay-back 1950s era.

hybucket OUR MISS BROOKS was one of the funniest shows on radio and TV, and, amazingly, both the radio and TV show hold up well even today. In an item above, it is mentioned that the show was "one camera." It was not. It was filmed the same way that I LOVE LUCY was, and that is, with three-cameras and a "live" studio audience. I believe the poster above was thinking of the movie version, which was nothing like the TV show, in that there was little interaction with the students. There are bootlegged collections of the series available on DVD, obviously taped on someone's VCR when they were re-run somewhere or other, and the quality is poor, but they're better than nothing at all. Try to avoid collections that have 4th season episodes when Connie moved from Madison High to a private school.

Chris Morrow (morrowman2) I've seen a good many episodes of Our Miss Brooks and they are excellent, a not so everyday school with an English teacher and her strong crush on the bashful biology teacher Mr. Boynton. My favorite was Mr. Conklin, the crusty no nonsense Pricipal who always clashed with Miss Brooks as well as the nerdy Walter Denton who had a crush on Conklin's daughter, Harriet. But, in the 4th season the show show was not as good at all because Miss Brooks transfers to a private school along with Mr. Conklin who also gets a job there as principal and so then the show just just kind of sunk. I never liked it as well. The 1st 3 seasons were the best when the cast was at Madison High school. Those are the episodes worth watching, after that the 4th season isn't worth seeing because it just wasn't as funny.
