Angel is an American
Synopsis
Angelique "Angel" Smith, a pretty, young, scatterbrained Frenchwoman, comes to the United States and marries a young architect, John Smith. With her distinct French accent, Angel gets into various problems with the culture, language, and procedures in her new country.[citation needed]
Background
Although it had much less slapstick comedy, Angel was somewhat akin to two other CBS sitcoms, I Love Lucy (already concluded) and Pete and Gladys, a spin-off of CBS's December Bride (also already concluded). The series co-starred Doris Singleton as Angel's sympathetic friend Susie and Don Keefer as Susie's husband George, roughly akin to the Ethel and Fred roles from I Love Lucy.[citation needed]

Reception and cancellation
Earlier, Time had commented that Fargé "triumphantly resists being merely Lucille Ball with a French accent. She is easily the brightest newcomer to situation comedy—small, pert, winsome, and somehow giving the impression of being attractively feathered."[1] Despite the good personal reviews, Fargé left U.S. television within a few years for a career in France, where she was often credited as "Annie Fargue".
