The Mel Blanc Show — 1946

Opening night at the fix-it shop: Mel drums up trade with custom birthday cards and 'novelty' boxes of candy.

An efficiency man reorganizes the shop into pure chaos -- now nobody can find a thing, least of all a burlesque dancer's missing zipper.

Mel's entry in the fair is a gorgeous cake for the YWCA -- until word gets out that he mixed putty into the batter.

Juggling a busted fishing rod and a motorboat repair leaves Betty feeling thoroughly ignored, and thoroughly jealous.

Mel angles to squire Betty to the Postman's Ball, with a checkers game somehow tangled up in a Portuguese sardine crisis.

Mr. Colby's shiny new console radio meets Mel's repair skills -- which is to say, it doesn't stand a chance.

Mel gets stuck babysitting on the very night his lodge holds its solemn initiation.

Betty's father means to sell the market and leave town, and the would-be buyer runs his life by the stars.

It's no Thanksgiving without a turkey, and Mr. Colby is distinctly unimpressed by Mel's threadbare holiday spread.

Mel scrambles to scrape together the cash for Betty's Christmas gift.

Betty can't decide what she wants for Christmas, and her father is sure Mel has taken up shoplifting; the recording keeps the pre-show warm-up, Mel singing his own praises.

Betty is convinced Mel has another woman, when his real secret is moonlighting in a Santa suit for the widowed Mrs. Bradley.

On New Year's Eve the Order of Zebras crowns its Zebra of the Year while Mel plays every part in a one-man pageant, 'Blanc Marches On.'
