Aldrich Family
The Aldrich Family is a teenage situation comedy centered on awkward Henry Aldrich, whose radio catchphrase with his mother became one of the series' signatures.
The Aldrich Family, a popular radio teenage situation comedy, was also presented in films, television and comic books. In the radio series' opening exchange, awkward teen Henry's mother called, "Hen-ry-y-y-y! Hen-ry Al-drich!", and he responded with a breaking adolescent voice, "Com-ing, Mother!"
