The Gale Storm Show was a sitcom co-produced by ITC Entertainment and Hal Roach Studios. It ran between 1956 and 1960 for 126 half-hour monochrome episodes across 4 seasons, initially on CBS and in its last year on ABC. In syndication, it was retitled Oh, Susanna.
The series was based on a cruise director, Susanna Pomeroy, on a ship travelling around the world. A cast of regular characters inhabited the ship and new situations were created by the ship mooring in ports.
The show was nominated for a Best Supporting Actress (Continuing Character) in a Comedy Series Emmy Award in 1959.
