The titular setting for the show was "a seedy bar and grille on New York's Third Avenue". The cast had Ed Gardner as Archie, Alan Reed as Finnegan, Pattee Chapman as Miss Duffy, Jimmy Conlin as Charlie, Veda Ann Borg as Peaches La Tour, and Herb Vigran as Second Story Jackson.
The radio version of Duffy's Tavern ended in 1952. When the TV version began two years later, Gardner's involvement was limited to acting. He said, "In radio, I was the producer and the director and half the time the writer and also Archie." The TV version had Hal Roach Jr. as producer and Harve Foster as director.[6]This program was the second effort to have a TV version of Duffy's Tavern. An earlier, hour-long version was filmed for showing as part of the All Star Revue series. It was never broadcast because the Revue was sponsored by a milk company, and the barroom setting conflicted with the company's image.

(17:04):
character. How you want testing,We'll clap him in a poker game.

on it. Oh no, no, I just stand around and make suggestions.
Ik cah, that's huh. Well, Archie, it's all right if
the suggestions are good ones, isn'tit well? Suchash well, suchas ladies
and gentlemen. If on a daywhen you have special plans, you wake
up with a miserable headache because youneed a laxative, it may seem as
though those plans of yours make itnecessary to put off taking that laxative till
(17:48):
bedtime. Well if just isn't so, Or if you take shopatka right away.
Then this famous sailing brings quick,gentle relief, usually within an hour,
so you can see you don't haveto wait till night to take laxative
needed in the morning, don't haveto go through the whole day feeling out
of sorts. And remember salhapatka hasthis additional advantage. Sparkling salapatica also helps
(18:10):
sweeten an upset stomach by helping toreduce excess gastric acidity. So tonight,
our first thing tomorrow, get yourselfan economical bottle of sal hapatica, remembering
this caution, use only as directed. Then, anytime you need a laxative,
whether morning, noon, or night, see if you don't feel better
faster when you take gentle, speedysalhapatica. Look funny, and that he

the suggestions are good ones, isn'tit well? Suchash well, suchas ladies

up with a miserable headache because youneed a laxative, it may seem as
though those plans of yours make itnecessary to put off taking that laxative till
(17:48):
bedtime. Well if just isn't so, Or if you take shopatka right away.
Then this famous sailing brings quick,gentle relief, usually within an hour,
so you can see you don't haveto wait till night to take laxative
needed in the morning, don't haveto go through the whole day feeling out
of sorts. And remember salhapatka hasthis additional advantage. Sparkling salapatica also helps
(18:10):
sweeten an upset stomach by helping toreduce excess gastric acidity. So tonight,
our first thing tomorrow, get yourselfan economical bottle of sal hapatica, remembering
this caution, use only as directed. Then, anytime you need a laxative,
whether morning, noon, or night, see if you don't feel better
faster when you take gentle, speedysalhapatica. Look funny, and that he
