This episode was lifted from the old movie series, which was familiar material. Dagwood gets himself fired so Blondie takes over his job. Pamela Britton is fun to watch as Blondie, but she will always be remembered as goofy and lovesick Mrs. Brown on the iconic MY FAVORITE MARTIAN tv series. Blondie proves herself a valuable asset to the company while Dagwood blunders around the household, the usual antics. Arthur Lake was a terrific comedian and is just so much fun to watch, bringing back lots of fond memories from the movie series. The dishes in the kitchen cupboard gag and the ironing board scene is classic Dagwood. Arthur also aged gracefully through the years and retained that aloof, juvenile quality that made him so popular. It was said during his tenure with the movie series he would have been the perfect "fourth" Stooge had he joined the Three Stooges! To note, Simon "Stuffy" Singer who played Alexander, became a national handball sports champion in the 1960s. He was one of a few juvenile actors who had a truly gifted life as there were so many child actors who faded into obscurity or worse. Again, Dagwood is the whole show and saves the day in his own lopsided way. An interesting observation is that the tv show's introduction was lifted from the CBS radio show that starred the original Blondie (Penny Singleton) and Arthur Lake as Dagwood. Finally on dvd.
