It’s Fall Preview Week at Television Obscurities. The 2014-2015 season is getting underway and to mark the occasion I’ll be posting fall previews for shows from the 1960s and 1970s all week long.
Here’s a fall preview for short-lived CBS sitcom Glynis, which starred Glynis Johns and ran for 13 episodes from September to December 1963. The CBS fall preview special for the 1963-1964 season was called “The Stars’ Address” and aired as an affiliates special in September 1963. It featured a wide variety of CBS stars including Lucille Ball, Jack Benny, Alfred Hitchcock, Walter Cronkite and the cast of The Beverly Hillbillies, who introduced Glynis in character.
The clip reminds me a lot of The Thin Man series, although this series doesn’t seem to be dumbed down.
I meant this series seem to be dumbed down.
Johns rebounded from this, from playing Mrs. Banks in MARY POPPINS, to introducing Stephen Sondheim’s “Send In The Clowns” in A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC
I would have watched any program that had Keith Andes taking his shirt off. :)
