THESE ARE MY CHILDREN

USA / NBC / x15 minute episodes / Broadcast 31 January - 25 February 1949. Made in black and white

Creator: Irna Phillips

Very early (and short lived) soap opera These Are My Children told stories of the Hehehan family in post war Chicago, the family owned a boarding house, ruled over by Mrs Henehan. Other characters included son John and his wife Jean as well as one of the chief boarders Katherine.

Broadcast live from Chicago and running only four weeks this was the first networked daytime soap and was apparently cancelled because AT & T could no longer supply the cable required to transmit the show!
