A precursor of today's domestic TV sitcoms, and the first of 28 popular comedies made between 1938 and 1950 about the small-town Bumstead family. This one and Blondie on a Budget (1940) are generally regarded as the best. Other highlights are said to be Blondie Plays Cupid (1940), Blondie Goes Latin (1941) and Blondie Has Servant Trouble (1940). |

"Light fare, but universal in appeal... could be clicko series." |
