Beulah is an American situation-comedy series that centers around the character Beulah Brown, a housekeeper and cook for the Henderson family. Beginning as a spin-off from the Fibber McGee and Molly radio series, Beulah is known for her unique ability to solve problems that her employers struggle with, earning her the title "the queen of the kitchen." The series features a cast of diverse characters, including Beulah's handyman boyfriend Bill Jackson, who constantly proposes marriage to her, and Oriole, a befuddled maid who works for the family next door. The comedy in the series is derived from the interactions between these characters and their humorous antics.

The radio show was broadcast on CBS Radio from 1945 to 1954, with the television adaptation airing on ABC Television from 1950 to 1953. A total of 87 episodes of the television program were filmed and produced, with only seven episodes currently known to exist on 16mm format and circulating among collectors. The radio series has fared better in preservation, with 21 episodes and an audition tape surviving to the present day. The Beulah show has a rich history, with four personalities playing the titular character, beginning with the original portrayal by white male actor Marlin Hurt and later transitioning to African-American actresses Hattie McDaniel, Lillian Randolph, and Amanda Randolph. Beulah was notable as the first sitcom to star an African-American actress, and it has been both praised and criticized for its representation of African-American characters.

Performers: Marlin Hurt, Hattie McDaniel, Lillian Randolph, Amanda Randolph, Bob Corley, Ethel Waters, Louise Beavers
