MARY KAY AND JOHNNY (TV)

Summary

One in this live comedy series -- one of network television's earliest domestic sitcoms -- featuring young married couple Mary Kay and Johnny Stearns as themselves. In this episode, Mary Kay buys a whisk broom from "Eager Beaver" salesman Mr. Gardner. Although Johnny berates Mary Kay for her lack of "sales resistance," he is less than stalwart when Gardner returns with the Jim Dandy vacuum cleaner with multiple attachments.
