This Is Alice is an American situation comedy starring nine-year-old Patty Ann Gerrity. The program aired in first-run syndication from October 1958 to August 1959, distributed by the NTA Film Network.
Alice Holliday is a precocious nine-year-old girl who lives in the fictional town of River Glen, Georgia (although some sources say the show was set in River Glen, New Jersey).[1] [2] Alice is bright and bubbly and she means well, but no matter how well-intentioned she is, her efforts always seem to backfire, leading to comic adventures and making her the female equivalent and precursor of Dennis the Menace.[1] [2]
Alice's father, Chet Holliday, is a newspaperman. Her mother is Clarissa Mae Holliday, and her grandfather, a former Georgia peanut farmer, is known as "The Colonel."[1] [2] Alice attends River Glen Elementary School, where her best friend is Sally and she also is friends with "Soapy" Weaver — a frequent co-conspirator in her adventures — and Susan Gray.[1] [2]
This Is Alice was produced by National Telefilm Associates and filmed at Desilu Productions.[1] Sidney Salkow created, produced, and directed the series.[1] Production of the series halted in mid-1959.[1]
Kathy Garver, who played Sally, later appeared on Family Affair.[1]
Thirty-nine episodes were produced.[1] The series ran in first-run syndication from October 1958 to August 1959.[1] Previously broadcast episodes continued to air as late as July 1961.[1]
All 39 episodes are held by the UCLA Film and Television Archive.[3]
