For Better Or Worse is an American soap opera that aired on CBS from June 29, 1959, to June 24, 1960.[1][2] The show was atypical for its genre in that episodes were grouped into distinct storylines or "cases", each following a different fictional couple, with the cast changing along with the storyline. The only permanent cast members were the narrator Dr. James A. Peterson and the series host Jim Bannon.[3]
