The Patti Page Show


The Patti Page Show is an American television series which aired from 1955 to 1956. It aired in a 15-minute time-slot, with two commercial breaks for sponsor Oldsmobile. In the series, Patti Page lip-synced pop songs, mostly standards, with additional songs by the Page Five singers, a vocal group of three men and two women. The series aired in first-run-syndication. It was produced was Screen Gems. There were 78 quarter-hour episodes, which circa 1958 were edited into 31 half-hour episodes. The half-hour re-edit episodes run about 25-26 minutes excluding the commercials, as can be seen on episodes on the Internet Archive.

In its quarter-hour form, it was among the first American series to be shown in Australia. In Melbourne it aired at 7:15PM on Mondays, preceded by the evening news.

The Pattie Page Show began at least in December 1953. Les Paul and Mary Ford were guests that month.

Very unusually for Screen Gems, the series does not seem to have had its copyright renewed. Four half-hour episodes appear on the Internet Archive: [1], [2], [3], and [4].

A copy of a 15-minute episode, with poor sound and the original commercials, also appears on the website: The Patti Page Show: First song "Goody Goody"
