The show centers on Joan, a scatterbrained housewife, and her
husband, Bradley Stevens, who was a staid and settled domestic court judge.
Beverly Wills, Joan Davis' real-life daughter, also co-starred on the show
playing the part of her sister. The show was cut from the same mold as the I
LOVE LUCY series, with Joan Davis' comedy antics derived from the
physical school of humor.
