The Ruggles is an early American family-oriented sitcom television series broadcast live on ABC.

[1] The series began October 23, 1949 — a couple of weeks after the radio hit The Life of Riley had moved to television on NBC — and ended on June 19, 1952.

The television family also had four children: college student Sharon Ruggles (Margaret Kerry), high school student Chuck Ruggles (Tom Bernard), and the young twins, Donna and Donald, played by Judy Nugent and Jimmy Hawkins.

During the second season (1950–51), Lonnie Burr played an occasional recurring character named Oliver Quimby, a know-it-all neighbor kid.

His boss, Mr. Williams, and his secretary Miss Peabody were seldom seen, and the exact nature of the firm's business was never clearly stated.
