Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Tonight's comedy sketch is titled "George's Band." Ordered by his wife Clara (Mary Beth Hughes to rent their spare room, henpecked George Appleby obliges by welcoming a pretty female tenant. Vetoing George's shapely selection, Clara chooses instead a beatnik musician named Bugs (Mickey Rooney) and his hipster pals Strings (Alan Ruess) and Windy (Dick Winslow). First shown on March 31, 1959, this videotaped episode was rerun on April 26, 1960.
