The Aldrich Family
Robert Farrell
"The Aldrich Family" is one of those really GREAT and TIMELESS Old Time Radio sitcoms that make you laugh every time you listen to it. The main characters, created by Clifford Goldsmith, never age. Henry Aldrich, portrayed by Ezra Stone, Vic Jones, and Bobby Ellis, is one of those types of teenagers everyone has met at some time during life, as is his best buddy, Homer Brown, played by Jackie Kelk, Jack Grimes, and Johnny Fieldler.
More characters include Mary (Henry's sister), Alice and Sam Aldrich (his parents, played by House Jamieson, Katherine Ross, and Barbara Robbins), Aunt Harriet, Dizzy & Herbert (Henry's buddies), Joe Graham (Mary's boyfriend), and Homer's girlfriend Agnes. Henry's girlfriends include Constance Marshall, Barbara Pearson (played by Betty Field), Nancy Adams, Eleanore Wentworth, Cynthia, Kathleen, and Gladys.
The words: "Hen - Reeeeeeeeeey! HEN - REEEEY ALD - rich!!!! - "COM - miiiiing Moth - er!!" immediately bring to mind a pimply-faced, squeaky-voiced teenage boy - the junior high school science nerd who wants to be everyone's best friend, often ending up with a whole heap of people upset with him over something he has done.
