Show Notes
Our Miss Brooks presents “Twin Orphans” (AFRS), originally broadcast on May 8, 1955. This is episode 288, also known in some listings as “Orphan Twins” or “Two Little Orphans.”
At overcrowded Madison High, English teacher Connie Brooks faces an unexpected classroom challenge when eight-year-old twins Mike and Danny insist they belong in high school. Eve Arden stars as Miss Brooks, with Gale Gordon as principal Osgood Conklin and Richard Crenna as Walter Denton. Originally heard on CBS, this surviving AFRS transcription preserves a classic schoolroom comedy built around the boys’ unlikely ambition to become policemen.
Old Time Retro Radio presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned/mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
