Boxcars711 Old Time Radio Pod - Aldrich Family "Sam Aldrich Is Sick" (11-30-52)
b'The Aldrich Family, a popular radio teenage situation comedy\\n(1939-1953), is remembered first and foremost for its unforgettable\\nintroduction: awkward teen Henry\'s mother calling, "Hen-reeeeeeeeeeeee!\\nHen-ree Al-drich!" A top-ten ratings hit within two years of its\\nbirth (in 1941, the showm carried a 33.4 Crossley rating, landing it solidly\\nalongside Jack Benny and Bob Hope), the show is considered a prototype for\\nteen-oriented situation comedies to follow on radio and television and is a\\nfavourite if dated find for old-time radio collectors today. The Aldrich\\nFamily as a separate radio show was born as a summer replacement for Jack\\nBenny in NBC\'s Sunday night lineup, July 2, 1939, and it stayed there until\\nOctober 1, 1939, when it moved to Tuesday nights at 8 p.m., sponsored by\\nGeneral Foods\'s popular gelatin dessert Jell-O---which also sponsored Jack\\nBenny at the time.
