The Fabulous Dr. Tweedy is an American radio situation comedy that was broadcast on NBC from June 2, 1946, through March 26, 1947.
[1] Episodes dealt with the school and home activities of Thaddeus Q. Tweedy,[2] the absent-minded dean of men at Potts College[1] who regularly found himself in difficulties.
After September 22, 1946, it was heard on Wednesdays at 10 p.m. E. T.[1] The fall program replaced the first half of Kay Kyser's Kollege of Musical Knowledge, which was shortened from an hour to 30 minutes.
[3] Paul Ackerman, in the trade publication Billboard, referred to the program's "so-called comical situations" and said that the October 16, 1946, episode was "singularly lacking" in laughs.
[7] Ackerman cited "a basic lack of strong comedy material" in the script, which he described as "just a routine effort" by the writers.
