The Aldrich Family
Henry's Secret Admirer
by
Henry Aldrich is a well-meaning teenager whose plans and good intentions often lead him into comic trouble. At home, his parents, Sam and Alice, try to guide him through the everyday challenges of growing up, while his younger sister Mary adds to the lively family atmosphere.
The program is a domestic situation comedy built around Henry’s school life, friendships, and family relationships. Episodes bring the Aldriches into familiar predicaments, with Henry’s earnest attempts to manage them driving the humor. The story unfolds through dialogue and a cast of characters rather than a single narrator, giving the household and its neighborhood a lively radio presence.
Warm and gently exasperated, the series finds comedy in the gap between Henry’s confidence and the complications he creates. Its affectionate portrait of family life makes the characters’ small worries and misunderstandings easy to follow and enjoy.
