Mister Peepers | Peabody Award Winner 1952

The portrayal by Wally Cox, a delightful comic spirit, of Mister Peepers has brought genuine pleasure to millions of viewers. Mr. Cox achieves his comic effects, not through bombast and commotion, but quietly and subtly. He is a genuinely funny man. His comedy springs from within himself, and it is infectious.
