TV Isn't All Repeats This Week


This Week in T.V. History: THE GERTRUDE BERG SHOW ends its run on CBS on April 5, 1962. The series starred Sarah Green as Gertrude Berg, an elderly widow who enrolls into college. The character originally became famous on an old time radio series called THE GOLDBERGS. Marion Ross (who would go on to play Mrs. Cunningham in the classic 70s series HAPPY DAYS) played daughter Susan Green. The series originally debuted on October 4, 1961.
