Better then Lucy
If you listen to the two shows on radio Eve Arden is wonderful and hands down better at her craft. My Favorite Husband , which became I Love Lucy, is and I hate to say this is annoying. I believe they had the same writers but Lucille Ball I found to be shrill and the show didn't work. I'm surprised they wanted to take it to TV. My hat is off to Desi they needed each other plus he filmed the show. Our Miss Brooks must have been on kinescope because the tv shows are grainy. If your a fan like I am read Eve Arden's autobiography that came out in the '80s. It's called The Three Faces Of Eve. The two women were in Stage Door and knew each other but were completely different. Eve loved her life, husband home children and there traveling all over the world. For Lucy it was about work. That came first before everything. Very different women. Listing to the radio shows are funny warm respectful. Wonderful mr boyton wouldn't have lasted so long today. People would have assumed he was gay as Connie Brooks was a babe! You'd think they would have gotten together. If you haven't heard The Magic Christmas Tree in a dream Mr Boyton touches the tree and kiss's Miss Brooks. The audience goes crazy! A great moment to a great radio show

So, I'm guessing I'm not the typical listener to this. I'm male, 39, and really like this show. There are parts of it that are really ahead of its time. She's like the Mary Tyler Moore of the 1940s. You should check it out.
