Same author Max Shulman.<br /><br />Its hilarious and although set in the sixties its kinda timeless about what it says about academia, big tobacco, TV and politics. It would make a great movie.

As a HS kid I never missed an episode of "Many Loves"--It aired just prior to the Dick Van Dyke show, iirc..<br /><br />(PS--I have a rich friend of mine in N.O. who STILL drolly calls his still living even richer Mother "Mumsey," LOL--And she playes the role to the hilt, too!)virgil xenophonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11491836830352263438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-71344786489067083642012-08-31T16:18:43.988-05:002012-08-31T16:18:43.988-05:00Zelda was in my law school class (1978).

Thalia Menninger, played by Tuesday Weld, was a great character, as was Dobie's father, played by long-time character actor Frank Faylen. And I loved Mumsey. <br /><br />--gpmgpmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12070901832220457927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-54021627808392898952012-08-31T16:10:11.149-05:002012-08-31T16:10:11.149-05:00That scene was brilliantly funny, it was reminisce...That scene was brilliantly funny, it was reminiscent of a Pink Panther movie.rick rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04542621463442558590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-34919857043534890592012-08-31T15:57:02.668-05:002012-08-31T15:57:02.668-05:00RIP Mr. Franken.

It started out as great tv but really ran out of steam the final season. Maynard G.
