Run on Television
"Our Miss Brooks" ran for 130 episodes on television and won an Emmy Award before it was canceled in 1956.

During the 1954–55 season, it overpowered "Dear Phoebe" its Syndication competition, starring Peter Lawford and Charles Lane (which failed to be renewed for a second season).

The show finished in Nielsen ratings that season at number 15 overall after previously ranking at number 23 in 1952–1953 and #14 in 1953–1954

For the 1955–56 season, with the format change and Rockwell (as Boynton) replaced by Gene Barry, the ratings fell. To rectify their mistake, the producers brought back Rockwell as Boynton in midseason, but it did not help and the show was canceled in the spring of 1956.
