The Billie Burke Show


The Billie Burke Show was a delightful program that aired on Saturday mornings, captivating audiences from April 3, 1943, to September 21, 1946. The title character, portrayed by Billie Burke, was a charmingly flaky lady known for her distinct high voice and her generous spirit towards her community.

In each episode, Billie navigated humorous situations, often mixing up proverbs and misjudging characters, such as mistaking a homeless man for a traveling salesman. Her kind-hearted nature led her to feed him all the food from her kitchen, much to the dismay of her scheming brother, Julius. Each story concluded with valuable lessons of optimism and compassion.

Sponsored by Listerine, the show encouraged listeners to maintain their smiles with bright, shining teeth. With Billie Burke's enchanting voice and heart of gold, it's hard not to smile while listening to her adventures.
