I was listening to to an episode of Fort Laramie titled The New Recruit, 4/22/56. At the end of the show there was a CBS promotion for a daily afternoon kids show called MY SON,JEEP.
I can't find any information on the show. Does anyone know anything about this show and if there are any shows available. Thanks in advance. |

| My Son Jeep was not a kids show, it was a radio version of a CBS-TV sitcom |

The NBC half-hour radio show began in January 1953 and went off the air that June. The NBC TV show started in July 53 but only ran until September. Cast was entirely different from the radio version, with one exception, Martin Huston played "Jeep" on TV and radio.
TV version did not return after that short run, however CBS radio brought it back in Oct 55 and it ran until Nov 56, all episodes were 15 minutes. It would be this show you heard mentioned on Ft. Laramie. Jack French
