Our Miss Brooks -- Mr Boyntons Barbecue

Our Miss Brooks was radio's best-loved schoolroom comedy, starring Eve Arden as the dry-witted English teacher forever pining for bashful biology teacher Mr. Boynton. In this May 7, 1950 episode, Mr. Boynton plans a barbecue -- and Connie Brooks pulls out every trick in the book to wangle an invitation and a spot at his side. Cue misread signals, good intentions gone sideways, and the meddling Madison High regulars, all served up over a backyard grill with Eve Arden's perfect comic timing.
