Dennis the Menace was a television series based on the popular comic strip, which aired from 1959 to 1963 on CBS. It starred Jay North as Dennis Mitchell, Herbert Anderson as his father Henry, Gloria Henry as his mother Alice, Joseph Kearns as George Wilson and Sylvia Field as Martha Wilson.

Dennis' best friend Tommy Anderson was played by Billy Booth and Jeannie Russell was chosen at the suggestion of Jay North to play his nemesis, Margaret Wade. There was no Joey or Gina in the TV show (as there was in the comics). Instead of Dennis' big pooch Ruff, there was a smaller breed named Fremont, who belonged to The Wilsons.

When Joseph Kearns died in 1962, Gale Gordon joined the cast as Mr. Wilson's brother John. The following year, Sara Seegar joined the cast (as John's wife, Eloise), and Sylvia Field left the show.
