Back in the day when shows went into reruns while new episodes were being produced, they would sometimes re-name them. I have seen episodes of Andy Griffith retitled " Andy In Mayberry", Bonanza as " Ponderosa" etc...

On this series there is an episode with the Righteous Brothers, so maybe the record company is giving them a problem.

This short lived sitcom has not been seen in reruns for years. There was talk about a DVD release at one point, but nothing came of it. I think I read somewhere Warner Archive has the rights to the series.

I remember watching those lineups on those networks back then too. If we knew then what we know now, we would have had the VCR running constantly. TBS & USA also produced some original sitcoms and soaps. Those will never see the light of day again unless grainy home video recordings make it to...

That was kind of my point with this thread. There are lots of shows that have fallen to the status of what you referred to as the" death of the forgotten rerun" while there are series that oldies channels purchase and all seem to run for years on end and in big blocks. It's crazy when there are...

What shows are you sick of being run to death in syndication ? My List: Gunsmoke........it airs multiple times a day on multiple channels. Every time an oldies channel shows up, they will purchase this show along with Bonanza. Bonanza.............see above. MASH.................I'm so sick...

That's surprising to hear about the masters to Room 222 being lost. You would think that would be a show to get archived properly. I remember reading the original negatives to B.J. and The Bear were lost in a fire. They have never released that series to home video/DVD. I couldn't tell you the...

Only certain people back then could afford that type equipment. Like actor Bob Crane, but I think he was more into making home videos instead of off air recordings.

I know. It's been a constant burden that I can't afford to spend money to travel to view a TV series from 50 plus years ago that hardly anyone remembers. Not to mention being attacked by snarky anonymous posters on a entertainment forum. I wonder if there's a support group for that ?

Good for you. I guess I'm strange...I have to use most of the money I make for heating and eating.

John Fink's co-star Renne Jarrett in Nancy was married to actor Jack Stauffer who played the role of Lieutenant Bojay in Battlestar Galactia. They had 1 son and divorced in 1979. She later remarried to Director/Producer Bruce Bilson in 1981.

It looks like there would an interest from studios to create a streaming platform where short lived series go to be saved and viewed for historical purposes. I know UCLA, Library Of Congress, Paley Center etc...have tons of stuff archived that is not able to be viewed due to lack of funding to...

When I look at the photo I posted above of Nancy & Adam sitting in front of the fireplace, I imagine a Carpenters record playing softly in the background on a console stereo.....LOL

It was very short lived and only aired for 12 episodes in 1970. The series was rerun on TVLand in the 90's.

Thanks for the research and info. Maybe the story has gotten mixed up over the years and everyone assumes Nixon gave it the thumbs down and had it cancelled. It's also interesting that the Nixon family was shown the pilot for approval. Unfortunately Nancy will never see the light of day again...

I did find some articles online that the series was cancelled in January 1971. The Nixon angle was discussed at length on YouTube at one point by several posters. There was a book that was supposed to be released on short lived sitcoms and was going to detail the Nixon administration involvement...

The last time I saw them was in the late 90's on TVLand with LAS. I was surprised to see this series as I was born a few years after it had ended and never knew it existed. I tuned into watch Love American Style one morning and Barefoot came on and I thought what's this show ? It turned out to...

Did you have them transferred to a different format ? I assume Sony may have the original 35mm negatives in their archives since they have the rights to other Screen Gems shows.

That's great you were able to acquire episodes of this series.I wish episodes would be made available to view or buy. I have only seen the opening credits and a short NBC promo. Was this show ever rerun in syndication ?

Yes, I saw the first pilot on LAS. Jane Wyatt from Father Knows Best played the mother of Corrie. Skye Aubrey who played Corrie was the daughter of the infamous Jim Aubrey who was once the president of CBS. They referred to him as the smiling cobra.

Back in the late 90's I remember this short lived series based on the film and play by Neil Simon airing on TVLand (when they aired classics and before the channel became a joke). It was part of the syndication package of Love American Style that would air in the early morning hours of 8 or 9...

For years I have only seen the opening credits and a promo for this short lived NBC sitcom that ran 1970-1971. The show was produced by Screen Gems and was created and written by Sidney Sheldon. Nancy was played by Renne Jarrett who was the presidents daughter. She meets and marries country...
