Mr. Peepers is a shy science teacher at Jefferson Junior High. He is always faced with problems but is never outwitted.
I have found a DVD containing a rare episode of Mr Peepers starring Wally Cox. Classic TV Hits, comedy volumn 2 has this series along with Jackie Gleason's Life of Riley, Trouble With Father, and I Remember Mama. Cox is brilliant in the lead role. Tony Randall shines in a supporting role. The show was filmed live and it is rather grainy today but thank goodness it still exists. One can easily see why this series was so popular in it's day. It is a sweet and tender show. It is very well acted and well written. Thanks to the Classic TV Hits series this show is available to us all to cherish for years to come. The actress who plays the elderly teacher later went on to play Aunt Clara on Bewitched. As with all the show's performers she is excellent!
