"Meet the Meeks" was an 11 am, Saturday Morning, OTR Sitcom, originating from WMAQ Radio, Chicago (NBC 1947-1949). Meet the Meeks was a follow up sitcom for the 1940-1942 program "Meet Mr. Meek."

The show starred Forrest Lewis, who played poor old browbeaten Mortimer Meek. Who along with wife Agatha, daughter Peggy, and Uncle Louie made America laugh every Saturday Morning. This great old time radio show wasn't targeted to a younger audience, but this time slot insured that all families could listen together, and enjoy the antics. Meet The Meeks is actually a continuation or spinoff of an earlier old time radio comedy, Meet Mr. Meek. Each show was about 30 minutes long
