The Stu Erwin Show

American sitcom

The Stu Erwin Show (also known as Trouble with Father) is an American sitcom which aired on ABC from 1950 to 1955. Only four of the series’ five seasons on the network included new episodes; the 1953–54 season consisted entirely of reruns.

Synopsis

The series' star, Stuart Erwin, played a bumbling high school principal named Stu Erwin. His wife, film ingenue from the late silent and early sound period, June Collyer, played the principal's wife, June Erwin.[1] Although Erwin and Collyer, who were married in 1931, had a son and a daughter, the series presented them as parents of two adolescent daughters played by Sheila James and Ann Todd who was replaced by Merry Anders in the series' final season.[2][3] One notable aspect of the show was that it featured black actor Willie Best in a regular supporting role.[4]

Predating modern single-camera sitcoms, The Stu Erwin Show originally aired without a laugh track (one was added in its final season), and each episode was around 26 minutes

Stuart Erwin, Biography of ’30s “Comic Valentine” Turned Early TV Star

Stuart Erwin was born in Squaw Valley, California, February 14, 1903, the second son of Samuel and Martha Erwin. Stu’s birthday and the nature of the parts he usually played saw him dubbed a “Comic Valentine” early in his career.

Erwin’s father operated a 1,200 acre cattle ranch in Squaw Valley that the future actor grew up on. Young Stuart Erwin wanted to be a newspaperman, a part he would play on screen several times, and he majored in journalism while attending the University of California. After a year there he entered a dramatic school in Los Angeles and soon made his stage debut on the West Coast in The Open Gates at the Morosco Theatre in Los Angeles. From there he hitched on with White Collars and spent 48 weeks on tour with the show.
