    Blondie

    Blondie is the first of two TV series based on the comic strip of the same name. It first aired on January 4, 1957, on NBC. Although Penny Singleton had starred in most of the Blondie movies, producers chose Pamela Britton for the title role, with Arthur Lake playing the role of Dagwood Bumstead as he had in the Blondie movie series.

    A pilot episode was filmed in 1954 with Hal Le Roy as Dagwood opposite Britton’s Blondie. The DVD for the 1957 version of Blondie was later released but only includes the first three episodes.

    Blondie’s Lucky Day (1946)

    Blondie’s Lucky Day is the 17th entry in the long-running Blondie film series based on the comic strip by Chic Young.
    Blondie’s Lucky Day, indeed! Not only must Blondie Bumstead (Penny Singleton) put on a brave face when her husband Dagwood (Arthur Lake) is fired for the umpteenth time by Mr. Dithers (Jonathan Hale), but she must also tolerate the attentions paid to Dagwood by pretty WAC Mary Jane McDermott (Angelyn Orr). A whiz in business matters, Mary Jane sets up Dag in his own business, which replenishes the Bumstead coffers but which drives Blondie into a jealous frenzy. The film’s highlight occurs early on, when Dagwood assumes Dithers’ responsibilities for a single day–and makes a proper mess of things within five minutes.[

    It’s a Great Life (1943)

    When the profits of their various film series began slumping in the mid-1940s, Columbia Pictures tried to broaden the appeal of these films by disguing the fact that they were indeed series entries. Thus it was that Columbia’s 13th “Blondie” picture was shipped out as It’s a Great Life. The comic confusion begins when Dagwood Bumstead (Arthur Lake), intending to buy a house, buys a horse instead. Before the film’s 75 minutes have run their course, Dagwood gets mixed up in a fox hunt. But Blondie (Penny Singleton) saves the day as usual, with the help of eccentric millionaire Timothy Brewster (Hugh Herbert). After It’s a Great Life and #14 “Footlight Glamour”, Columbia restored the name “Blondie” to the titles of all subesequent installments in this long-running comedy series.

    Blondie Goes to College (1942)

    Number 10 in the Blondie series, Blondie Goes to College is predicated on the notion that Dagwood Bumstead (Arthur Lake) must receive a college diploma or lose his job with the Dithers Construction Company. Not wishing to be separated from her husband, Blondie (Penny Singleton) enrolls in college as well. But Leighton College rules stipulate “No Married Couples”, forcing Blondie and Dagwood to pretend that they’re not married. This causes quite a dilemma when coed Laura Wadsworth (Janet Blair) begins flirting with Dagwood and Rusty Bryant (Larry Parks) does same with Blondie. And Blondie’s discovery of a very pleasant secret threatens to expose her and Dagwood’s marital status too. The student body at this particular seat of learning is comprised of quite a few familiar faces, including Lloyd Bridges, Sid Melton, and Adele Mara.
