The Fabulous Dr. Tweedy 07 Eps


(3 stars; 1 reviews)

(07 Episodes) "The Fabulous Dr. Tweedy" NBC's 30 minute sitcom, "The Fabulous Dr. Tweedy," was heard (43 Eps from June 02,1946 thru March 03, 1947) on KVOA Radio every Sunday at 4 PM, changing at a later date to Wednesday. "The Fabulous Dr. Tweedy" (played by Frank Morgan) was the absent-minded Doctor of Philosphy, Thaddeus Q. Tweedy. A tenured Professor of Philosophy at his previous college, Dr. Tweedy got the boot for repeatedly flunking star players of the school's football team. The last straw was his flunking the entire backfield of Willowitz, Mankiewitz, Horowitz and Stinkowitz. The president of the college suggested that Dr. Tweedy pursue a recent opening with Potts College, in Pottsfield. Mr. Potts, Chairman of the Board of Trustees was played by Allen Bridge, then Gale Gordon, Mr. Mooney on TV's "THE LUCY SHOW." At one point, a feature film version of The Fabulous Dr. Tweedy had been considered; it never panned out. SPONSOR: Pall Mall Cigarettes (with Don Hancock as their spokesperson) sponsored "The Doctor" for its full (short) run. * SOURCE: The Digital Deli Too OTR * def gp ddh
