context_page_description: The Joan Davis Show is a title applied — in some cases specifically and in other cases generically — to several old-time radio comedy programs in the United States, some of which had other distinct titles as indicated below. Comedian Joan Davis starred in the programs, all but one version of which were broadcast on CBS.
context_section_description: After Swan Soap ended its contract with Davis midway through the original four-year span, Joan Davis Time debuted on October 11, 1947, as a revised version of Joanie's Tea Room, with Davis still owner of the tea shop. The program focused on "Joan's efforts to improve her life and find a steady boyfriend" -- a premise that was reinforced by the show's theme song, "Nobody's Sweetheart". Humorous incidents arose from Davis' interactions with the tea shop's regular customers as well as with other people she met.
  Other than Davis, the main characters were her friend Mabel, played by Sharon Douglas, and tea shop manager Lionel, played by Lionel Stander. Other regulars were Hans Conried, Verna Felton, and Andy Russell. The Choraleers provided vocal music, while Lud Gluskin, John Rarig, and Paul Weston led their orchestras. Announcers were Ben Gage, Bob LeMond, and Harry von Zell. The producer was Dick Mack.
  The program ended on July 3, 1948.
