Jeep is Smitten With Sub Teacher Mrs Miller #1

The premiere performance of the new comedy series My Son Jeep. But before we began, there's a gentleman standing beside me that I'd like all of you to meet, Dr. Robert Allison of Grove Falls. There's nothing very unusual about being a doctor in a small town, even if you're a widower with two children and a housekeeper running your life for you.

But when one of your youngsters is a boy and a ten-year-old boy at that, things sometimes get a little confused. For instance, who would think that I'd get involved with a substitute teacher of grade B?

Well, I didn't actually get involved, but come to think that we both did. Me and my son Jeep. Yes, it's my son Jeep, the warm hearted adventures of the Allison family of Grove Falls, starring Donald Cook as Doc, and introducing young Martin Houston as wonderful, unpredictable, 10-year-old Jeep Allison.

It started one Friday afternoon. Of course I didn't know that at the time. I was in my office which actually is part of our house. It was a nice quiet afternoon which meant that Jeep wasn't home from school yet.

And my last patient had just gone and then somebody knocked on the door. Come in. Oh hi Peggy, come on in, huh? Are you busy, Father? Oh, just writing out this prescription from Mrs. Perry's indigestion.

Oh, hi, is this a professional visit? Stick out your tongue and say, Eenie, Meenie, Meenie, Mo. Oh, honestly, Father, may I remind you that I'm 13 years old? Well, thanks for the reminder. You couldn't knock off a couple of years, could you?

The way you and Jeep are growing up, they're going to start calling me Oodok Allison. Don't bother. Hey, what's this, Father Business? Don't you call me Pop anymore? It is not dignified. And from now on, I want to be called Marguerite.
