"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."

The antics of Mortimer Meek, wife Agatha, daughter Peggy & Uncle Louie could not help but make you laugh out loud. Those were the days, when you could actually visualize what carried on!
