1954 ''I Married Joan'' - ''The Clothes Budget' - (NBC-TV, Light Comedy) (1954)

A 1954 episode of the NBC Television Network sitcom "I Married Joan" entitled "The Clothes Budget". Possibly the most jumpy, confusing, and at times sloppy episode of this series, though it's still funny. The series is very similar to "I Love Lucy" (1951-1957), which itself is similar to "Mary Kay and Johnny" (1947-1950). A moderate success, it lasted 3 seasons but never made the Top 20. Annoyingly, this is an edited print.

I uploaded this, since although the script is a bit jumpy, Joan Davis is simply a delightful actress, just as funny as other popular female comedians of the 1950's, such as Lucille Ball ("I Love Lucy"), Gale Storm ("My Little Margie") and Gracie Allen ("Burns & Allen"). "I Married Joan" always seemed to have weaker writing than those shows, but it rarely was bad, and this episode, while feeling a little rushed, is quite enjoyable.
