Music Brings Riley and Peg Together

Welcome back. I'm Stan Freeberg. Time now for the life of Riley starring William Bendix as Riley, Paula Winslow as Pig and John Brown in the dual roles of Riley's pal Gillis and the undertaker Digby Odell.

Irving Brecker, the show's creator and producer often use flashbacks to the Riley's early days as settings for the show. This episode from November 16th, 1946 is just such an example. So let's have some fun now on the life of Riley.

Feel for a beautiful smile, the life of Riley for laughs. Feel, T-E-E-L, teal, the amazing liquid dendafress. That's it. T-E-E-L. The amazing liquid dendafress brings you the life of Riley with William Bendix as Riley.

And for beautiful smiles, it's taking the old teal. And right now, it's the life of Riley. Riley! It's no laughing matter when you're the father of a teenage son, Ask Chester Riley Sr. And it's no laughing matter when you're the teenage son of a father, Ask Chester Riley Jr.

Press since the other day. Who's there? It's me, Captain. The Lord and Monster is home. Oh, hello, Riley dear. Here, let me take your coat. Thanks, pig. This is the only consolation I get for slaving away eight hours a day in that plant.

When I come home, I get a nice warm greeting for my family. Hello, Junior. Hello, Pop. Goodbye, Pop. Nice warm greeting. What's eating Junior? Oh, he's been like that all day. He just mokes around his room.

He won't eat. He won't talk. When I ask him what's the matter, he says he's thinking. Thinking? We better call a doctor. Oh. He's not sick. He's got something on his mind. You see, Riley, Junior is becoming an adolescent.
