Great things were expected of The Adventures of Hiram Holliday, a half hour sitcom that aired on NBC in the mid-1950s. Wally Cox, the star of the show, was just coming off a long run as the remarkably popular Mister Peepers whilst it’s show runner, Phil Rapp had a couple of hit radio shows to his name and had written and directed for the popular TV show Topper.
But within six months it was off the air - he show’s sponsor deciding to take a sizeable financial hit rather than continue to support the show. Whilst the show sold internationally—to the likes of the BBC in Great Britain—NBC didn’t even air all the episodes they had made.
In the 21st century it remains nothing but a fond memory for a generation - very hard to find on DVD or on a streaming service. Until now.
Come now and read the scripts for another six of the original adventures of Hiram Holliday, a surprisingly talented, mild-mannered newspaper proofreader.
