Gasoline Alley

Very sitcom-y. But it was good sitcom as a cast of former child actors open a diner. Rare lead role for Scotty Beckett, who was right in the middle of image breaking divorce and remarriage. Along with him he had Jimmy Lydon, who was a more likable sort of character, and Patti Brady had some really funny moments, even if that didn't stop her career from tanking that year. Regardless, this was a real uplifting post-war boom period comedy, where it's all about the young striking it lucky.
