Hey, I Don't Remember This Show: I Married Joan

I may seem like an old-timer at times but I'm not old enough to remember this show when it was in prime time. And since one of my relatives is named Joan, it is probably just as well I never watched it in syndication since I feel weird enough about the title as it is.

I am a little surprised that the announcer felt compelled to add that it was also The Joan Davis Show when they obviously chose not to call it that. Was that their way of keeping Ms. Davis happy or what?

Movie Song of the Week: “What Do I Want with Money?”

Apparently January is going to be Eddie Cantor Month here on this site.

This week, I post a little tune by Eddie Cantor and Joan Davis from 1948's If You Knew Susie. And yes, it seems like an apt candidate for being the new American anthem. (Unless, of course, you prefer this one, which is unfortunately also an apt candidate.)

Anyway, I happen to like that bit with Ms. Davis' chair. And the singing ain't bad either. I hope you all enjoy it.
