Claudia (also known as Claudia, the Story of a Marriage) is an American television program that was broadcast live on NBC January 6, 1952 - March 23, 1952 and on CBS March 31, 1952 - June 30, 1952. The situation comedy was based on Rose Franken's short stories and novels about a young woman's romance.[1]
Joan McCracken portrayed Claudia Brown in Claudia.
At age 18, Claudia Brown, a somewhat naive teenage girl, married David Naughton, an architect. Adapted from the radio series Claudia and David, episodes focused on their lives, especially Claudia's struggles as she adjusted to married life.[2] The concept was also adapted into the Broadway play Claudia (1941) and the films Claudia (1943) and Claudia and David (1946).[3] In addition to Claudia and David, story lines involved David's brother and sister (Harley and Julia) and Claudia's mother (Mrs. Brown).[4]
