The Gertude Berg Show aired from October 1961 until April 1962 on CBS.
Gertrude Berg had become famous on radio and television in a series called The Goldbergs. In this half-hour sitcom she starred as Sarah Green who was in many ways an older version of her inimitable Molly Goldberg. Sarah was a matronly widow whose thirst for knowledge led her to enroll in college, despite her advancing years. Her English teacher, Professor Crayton ( Sir Cedric Hardwicke), was an exchange teacher from Cambridge University , Maxfield ( Mary Wickes) ran the boardinghouse where Mrs. Green lived and Joe Caldwell ( Skip Ward) was an 18 yera old freshman in her class
Also appearing on the show were Marion Ross ( later to star in Happy Days) as Sarah's daughter Susan; Leo Penn as Sarah's son , Jerry; Paul Smith as George Howell; Aneta Corsaut as Irma Howell; and Karyn Kupcinet as Carol.
The program was originally titled Mrs. G Goes to College , but this was changed to The Gertrude Berg Show in January 1962. Hy Averback produced the series.
