The Gale Storm Show was a sitcom co-produced by ITC Entertainment and Hal Roach Studios. It premiered on September 29, 1956, and ran until 1960 for 143 half-hour black-and-white episodes, initially on CBS and in its last year on ABC. In syndication, it was retitled Oh, Susanna.

The series was based on a cruise director, Susanna Pomeroy, on a ship travelling around the world. A cast of regular characters inhabited the ship and new situations were created by the ship mooring in ports.

The show was nominated for a Best Supporting Actress (Continuing Character) in a Comedy Series Emmy Award in 1959. Gale Storm had previously starred with Charles Farrell in My Little Margie which ran for 126 episodes from 1952-1955.
