Our Miss Brooks - Boynton s Barbecue

·30 min·3 clips
Connie Brooks describes her date as "spare ribs and romance, moonlight and mustard."
Connie Brooks plans a romantic backyard barbecue with biology teacher Philip Boynton, but misunderstandings, rival teacher Daisy Enright, and uninvited guests including Principal Conklin and students Walter and Harriet threaten to turn her intimate evening into a crowded comedy of errors. The episode features classic 1950s radio sitcom humor with witty dialogue and escalating social awkwardness.

As heard by us
