The first series consisted of plays introduced by, and, as often as not, starring Miss Young. According to the best-selling book "The Complete Directory of Prime Time Network TV Shows", "The period and location varied, the story may have been serious, amusing, or touching, but all of the tales told on The Loretta Young Show were uplifting. They portrayed the nobler side of the human spirit and were designed to teach as well as entertain."
On the New Loretta Young Show , Loretta had a continuing role as a writer and widowed mother of seven children.
