My Little Margie (771 words)
My Little Margie presented 21 year-old Margie Albright, who lived with her widowed father Vernon in a New York City penthouse.
The title My Little Margie can certainly be taken in such a way as to be demeaning to women: "my" indicating the possession of someone as if they were a thing, and "little" a somewhat inaccurate and condescending term for a twenty-one year-old woman.
Margie was always too busy for her own romance, usually busy launching schemes to keep gold diggers away from her single dad.
Thrilling Days of Yesteryear : Thrilling Days of Yesteryear (767 words)
My Little Margie began on television as a summer replacement series for I Love Lucy (columnist Walter Winchell once remarked that while he “loved Lucy” he was “just mild about Marg”), but it moved to NBC in the fall of 1952 for a three-year run.
Margie was pretty cute, with a pair of crinkly eyes and a habit of trilling “Gr-r-r-r-r-r-r-r” when ever she was in hot water.
Margie had a boyfriend named Freddie Wilson—played on TV by Don Hayden and radio by Gil Stratton, Jr.—who didn’t seem to contribute much to society outside of providing carbon dioxide for trees and plants.
