Our Miss Brooks was successfully transferred to television beginning in 1952 (it had begun as a radio program in 1948). It had a total of 154 episodes and ran on CBS from 1953-1962.
Between gentle wisecracks, Miss Brooks (Eve Arden) doted on nerdish student Walter Denton (Richard Crenna) and frequently locked horns with crusty, cranky principal Mr. Conklin (Gale Gordon) Many of the program's episodes, however, revolved around Miss Brook's unrequited desire for Philip Boynton(Robert Rockwell) the school's biology teacher. In this way Miss Brooks was the beginning of a long list of TV spinsters, to be followed by Sally Rogers (Rose Marie) on The Dick Van Dyke Show and Jane Hathaway (Nancy Kulp) on The Beverly Hillbillies.
