Life With Luigi was a radio comedy-drama series which began September 21, 1948 on CBS Radio, with the final episode broadcast on March 3, 1953. The story concerned Italian immigrant Luigi Basco, and his experiences as an immigrant in Chicago. Many of the shows take place at the English classes that Luigi attends with other immigrants from different countries, as well as trying to fend off the repeated advances of the morbidly-obese daughter of his landlord/sponsor. Luigi was played by J. Carrol Naish, an Irish-American actor. Beginning on September 22, 1952, Naish continued the role on the short-lived CBS Television version and was later replaced by Vito Scotti when the series was briefly revived in the spring of 1953. With a working title of The Little Immigrant, the TV version of Life with Luigi was created by Cy Howard, who earlier had created the hit radio comedy, My Friend Irma. Other characters on the radio show included Pasquale (Alan Reed), another Italian-American SHOWS LIST ***CD 1 50-08-15 Luigi Has a Fire in the Store 50-08-22 Business Trip to Buffalo ***CD 2 50-09-05 Luigi Sells Ice Cream 50-09-12 Luigi Is Lonely ***CD 3 50-09-19 Crusade for Freedom Speech 50-09-26 Trolley Transfer ***CD 4 50-10-03 Luigi Gives Blood 50-10-10 A Day In New York With Frank Sinatra ***CD 5 50-10-17 Pasquale Hires A Tutor 50-10-24 Antique Dealers of America Association ***CD 6 50-10-31 Right To Vote Taken Away 50-11-07 Luigi Opens His Barber Shop ***CD 7 50-11-14 Headaches or Heartaches 50-11-24 Moonlighting At The Daisy Pie Factory ***CD 8 50-11-28 Not Counted In The Census 50-12-05 Lost In Chicago ***CD 9 50-12-12 Luigi Joins The Record Collector's Club 50-12-19 A Christmas Present For Pasquale ***CD 10 50-12-26 A Visit From The Immigration Service 51-01-02 Ice Skating At The Lake ***CD 11 51-01-09 Queen Sheba's Iceberg 51-01-16 Luigi Deposits A California Check ***CD 12 51-01-23 (114) Luigi Refuses To Talk To Pasquale 51-01-30 (115) Graduating From 1A To 1B
