A Date with Judy is a comedy radio series aimed at a teenage audience. The show revolves around the life of Judy, a teenager who spends her days on the telephone, arranging, discussing, and lamenting the lack of dates. This teenage situation comedy is full of infectious giggling and teenage slang, capturing the excitement and drama of navigating adolescence. The series was co-created by Jerome Lawrence and Aleen Leslie, based on Leslie's “One Girl Chorus” column in the Pittsburgh Press.

First airing on June 24, 1941, A Date with Judy ran for nearly a decade, wrapping up its successful run on May 4, 1950. Over the years, the show appeared on both NBC and ABC radio networks and was sponsored by well-known brands such as Pepsodent, Bristol Myers, Tums, Ford Motors, and Revere Cameras. Throughout its run, A Date with Judy had a rotating cast, with notable actors like Ann Gillis, Paul McGrath, Margaret Brayton, and Richard Crenna. The popularity of the radio series led to the creation of a 1948 film starring Jane Powell, as well as a television adaptation that aired from 1951 to 1953. Additionally, A Date with Judy had a long run as a comic book, with 79 issues published from 1947 to 1960.
