The Gale Storm Show is an American sitcom starring Gale Storm. The series premiered on September 29, 1956, and ran until 1960 for 125 half-hour black-and-white episodes,[1] initially on CBS and in its last year on ABC. Its title is also seen as The Gale Storm Show: Oh, Susanna.[2]
The Gale Storm Show was produced initially by Hal Roach Studios. The Roach company later sold the program to Independent Television Corporation.
The series was aired under the title Oh, Susanna in syndication.[3]
The series is based on a cruise director, Susanna Pomeroy (Storm), on a ship traveling around the world. A cast of regular characters inhabits the ship and new situations are created as the ship moors in ports. Unlike her previous role on My Little Margie, Storm's character emits a shrill, two-fingered whistle to get people's attention. On her previous show, she would make a Trilling sound when in trouble.
The series finished at No. 16 in the Nielsen ratings for the 1957–1958 season.[4]
