Television Q&A: What were name and rank of service academy shows?

Q: I remember from the early ‘60s two half-hour shows. One was called, I think, “West Point” and had stories about the cadets. The other had stories about the Naval Academy. Any other info would be appreciated.

A: The shows you remember are anthology dramas “West Point” and “Men of Annapolis.” “West Point” originally aired from 1956 to 1957 and “dramatized actual events and persons from the files of West Point,” says “The Complete Directory to Prime Time Network and Cable TV Shows.” “Names and dates … were changed, but the events were real.” “Men of Annapolis,” in 1957-58, was a syndicated series from the same production company as “West Point.”

Q: I recall a sitcom from the ‘70s called “The Mothers-In-Law.” Who starred in it?

A: The NBC comedy, which aired in 1967-69, starred Eve Arden
