Alpha releases 4 more classic episodes from Ann Sothern's delightful sitcom PRIVATE SECRETARY. PRIVATE SECRETARY featured Ann Sothern as Susie Camille MacNamara, the secretary to New York talent mogul Peter Sands (Don Porter). However, Susie often gets confused as to the limitations of her job and gets frequently entangled in the lives of Peter and his clients. Snappy dialogue and great comic support is provided by Ann Tyrrell as Susie's workmate Vi Praskins. When the series later went into syndication, the title of the show was inexplicably changed to SUSIE.
With the following episodes (presented under the SUSIE title):
"Cat in a Hot Tin File" - Vi and Susie attempt to keep a stray cat in the office, despite Peter's important new client being allergic.
"Dollars and Sense" - Susie begs Vi and Peter to help her in curbing her spendthrift habits.
"Old Dogs, New Tricks" - Susie talks sense to a big-headed child star.
"That's No Lady, That's an Agent" - Peter becomes infatuated with a rival talent agency boss (guest star Hillary Brooke). It's up to Susie to set Peter straight!
Hopefully Alpha may release more eps from this delightful show. A must for fans of vintage TV.

I just finished watching this DVD set and was pretty impressed. There was only one problem, one of the shows on the first disc had the words not matching the mouths for the last 10 minutes of the program. Otherwise, it was a great set, might have to order Set 1 even though I have most of those programs on VHS. Joan was a great comedian, on par with Lucy with her slapstick antics!

Usually you look back at old programs like the Lone Ranger and think how hokey they were. Then you realize that you, being a kid at the time could enjoy them as they were.
Then there is "Topper" the TV show. It was one big smoking commercial.
Well I sort of counted on this happening with "My Little Margie" (Gale Storm.) Boy was I surprised. The plots are complex for the small period of time they have to execute in. Hokey or not they had me laughing. And Price per pound, you get so many episodes. I am working my way through them all and find some how they are comforting like an old friend. It is fun t spot the different actors in movies and say I saw that person on "My Little Margie."
After viewing, I will put them on the shelf and they look... More Info about this DVD Director(s): Hal Yates - Nate Watt DVD Release Date: Released the 19 December 2000 Usually ships in 24 hours
