Margie

I last saw it 37 years ago (!) but I still remember it as a funny and pleasant comedy with a delightful star. Maybe it didn't catch on due to it being set in the 1920's - fewer years removed from 1961 than 1999! Too bad it was never rerun. Wish it was on video.

Hello reviewers. I wasn't sure how to answer folks reviews that are already here, but this is the best way I could think of.

I also enjoyed the TV show. I grew up with TV being one of my best friends. I did want to share with you the fact that Cynthia Pepper has a new book out called "Pigtails,Presley & Pepper". A Hollywood Memoir. It's available on line at all the usual outlets. She even has a website. I think that all your questions could be answered there. :-) I hope that these reviewers get to read this posting. I know the other posts are from 10 or 15 years ago. Her work with Elvis Presley was impressive too.

I had a minor crush on Margie when I was 12. I couldn't get enough of the roaring 20's at the time, the Untouchables had triggered that. I remember the boy (Jim Hawkins) who played "The Shiek"-a Valentino wannabe. He had been Annie Oakley's kid brother. That was another good show that didn't get re-run. We could use a 1950's TV station. Maybe three stations. Will there ever be a TV land for these cute but short lived series? My brothers and I got a kick out of the 1920's cars and costumes they had. Not to mention the hairstyles. Maybe there will be DVD compilations soon of shows. like Margie that were only broadcast a few times.

There are a lot of sitcoms out there and none of them as far as I am concerned are much worth watching. You have to go back many years to find really good sitcoms and this one set in the Roaring Twenties was one of them. I used to love watching it and only after two seasons, it was gone! I thought It might have been some mistake taking this show off the air. But it wasn't. I wish they would show this again as re-runs just to show how to make a good sitcom.

A few weeks ago, for some reason, I started thinking about this show and couldn't remember the name of it. Without the power of the internet, I wouldn't have found it. But now that I have, I want everyone to know what a great show it was. The show is too far in the past to ever bring back the original actors, some of whom have passed on, but maybe it would be possible to recreate the show from the formula of the original. Hopefully, the old shows are still around in some vault.
