The things you learn when you browse around the Internet! I know that you said you had searched with Google but I thought I might try my hand. In doing so I found – and you must have run across it too – was a Wikipedia page called Bathroom Singing. I never would have dreamed.
As for possible TV series, the Kraft Theatre ended in 1958. Most of the anthology shows – GE Theater, the Dick Powell Show, The Loretta Young Show, for example – were generally, as I remember them, pretty heavy on the dramatic side and most, like Kraft, are a bit too early for your time period. The comedy anthology came mostly in the 1970s and ‘80s. The earliest I can think of is “Love, American Style” an hour program (including commercials) that featured two or three stories each weekly hour. Its first season began in 1969. Others that I can think of came a decade later, “The Love Boat,” which premiered in 1977 and “Fantasy Island” which came a year later. These had two or more stories per episode but cut back and forth between them. Neither of their formats seem fit for the story you describe.
Sorry I couldn’t be of any help but maybe this may jog a memory or two as well as giving you a bump back to the top.
