Faithville

• Watchlist

This family series revolved around the trials and tribulations of the people of the small town of Faithville, Ontario ("The town that lives up to its name") around the mid-to-late (postwar)-1940's. Mayor Hope oversaw Faithville, assisted by his secretary, Miss Evidence, and Officer Wisdom was the town's police officer. Mr. and Mrs. Waterwell owned the local dairy farm, Mr. Cutwright was the barber, Mr. Up owned the gas station and garage, Miss Charity owned the local diner, Miss Correct was the schoolteacher, Miss Cordial ran the local inn, Mr. and Mrs. I. B. Lieve (get it?) ran the Miracle Grocery, Mr. Doubt ran the local hardware store, Mr. Loonie was the town banker, Miss Rosa Sharon (get that one, too?) was the local florist, and Pastor Shepherd was in charge of the local church. Each episode revolved around a spiritual theme tied in with a life lesson and how it applied to the people of Faithville. There were also three interstitial segments: "Proverb of the Week," in which Officer Wisdom imparted a quote from the Book of Proverbs to Freddie Fool - and later, his brother, Frankie - and how it applied to the Fools' wrongdoings; "Think About It," in which Miss Correct or one of the other Faithville residents applied a short object lesson to the theme of each show; and "Bible Story of the Week," in which Executive Producer Pastor Tom Collins related a Bible story to the theme of each show.
