Angel is a 33-episode CBS sitcom in the 1960-1961 season about a pretty young scatterbrained Frenchwoman, Angelique "Angel" Smith, played by Annie Fargé (pronounced far-ZHAY), who comes to the United States and marries a young architect, John Smith, portrayed by Marshall Thompson (1925-1992). Angel, with her distinct French accent, gets into various problems with the culture, language, and procedures in her new country.Angel on CBS, TV Guide, accessed March 30, 2008 Though it had much less slapstick comedy, Angel was somewhat akin to two other CBS sitcoms, the already concluded Lucille Ball's I Love Lucy and the then newly-premiered Cara Williams and Harry Morgan series Pete and Gladys, a spin-off of CBS's successful December Bride, starring Spring Byington.

Angel was broadcast at 9 p.m. Eastern on Thursday evenings between October 6, 1960, and May 10, 1961. It switched to Wednesdays at the same time for the summer reruns. Segments included "Voting Can Be Fun" (when the Smith home was turned into a voter precinct), "Angel's Temper", "The Valedictorian", "The Dowry", "The Joint Bank Account", "The Driving Lesson", "The French Lesson", "The Trusting Wife", and the concluding episode, "The Trailer". In the latter, Angel thinks that she has won a house trailer but was instead agreeing to make payments on the vehicle. John tries to get out of the contract, and then the company sends a model more extravagant than Angel had unwittingly agreed to purchase.CTVA Comedy - "Angel" (CBS)(1960-61) Annie Fargé, Marshall Thompson, Doris Singleton
