(71 Episodes) (Missing Only: Meeks 1948-05-29 #038 Home Sweet Home) "Meet the Meeks" was an 11 am, Saturday Morning, OTR Sitcom, originating from WMAQ Radio, Chicago (NBC 1947-1949). Meet the Meeks was a follow up sitcom for the 1940-1942 program "Meet Mr. Meek." This family sitcom played in the radio days, when most families actually sat, and used their imaginations, together. The antics of Mortimer Meek, wife Agatha, daughter Peggy & Uncle Louie could not help but make you laugh out loud. Digitised by the Old Time Radio Researchers and streamed from the Internet Archive item “MeetTheMeeks_486”; these recordings are in the public domain.
