The Bob Cummings Show: Bob Judges a Beauty PageantNBC

This episode, the twelfth of the fifth season, has a title that's again a misnomer. (He wants to judge but doesn't get the chance.) The Henning & Wesson script is definitely sexist and looksist even by the standards of the series, but the guest stars almost redeem it:
- Madge Blake (pre-Batman) as Florence Patterson,
- Peter Lawford as himself (referencing his wife Pat),
- Rose Marie in her recurring role of Martha Randolph,
- future That Girl director (two episodes) Sidney Miller as Roscoe Dewitt (he also did the voice of Francis Church in the TV-movie Yes, Virginia, There Is a Santa Claus),
- and best of all, Nancy Kulp (pre-Beverly-Hillbillies) in her recurring role as Pamela Livingstone
Dorothy Johnson again appears as Harriet Wyle. Cummings directed again. I have to say that Hickman isn't given much do on any of these three episodes, but Ann B. always works with what she gets.
