The Mickey Rooney Show: “Hey Mulligan” was a half-hour NBC-TV sitcom that
ran from April 28,1954 to June 4,1955. It starred, then 34-year-old, Mickey Rooney (above) as Mickey Mulligan, an Irish American television studio page at the mythical International Broadcasting Company in Hollywood. This was Mickey’s first television series. The former child actor was previously known for his starring role in the many Andy Hardy films between 1937 and 1958.

Actress Eve Arden (April 30, 1908 – November 12, 1990). Her almost 60-year
career included many supporting and leading roles in film, radio and television, but
she is perhaps best remembered for playing a high school teacher in the classic
sitcom Our Miss Brooks. It began as a radio show broadcast on CBS from 1948
to 1957. When the show was adapted to television (1952–56), it became one of the medium’s earliest hits. In 1956, the sitcom was adapted for the big screen with the
same name. Arden also has special guest appearances as Rydell High School
principal McGee in the films Grease (1978) and Grease 2 (1982). She was
inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame in 1995.
