This short-lived NBC sitcom – the last completely live prime-time sitcom – starred Donald Cook as attorney Tom Blake.
Rounding out the cast were Tom’s wife, Mary (Joan Bennett); their 14-year-old tomboy daughter Pamela (Brigid Bazlen), who had just discovered boys; her 17-year-old brother Johnny (Martin Huston), and Pamela’s best friend, Timmy Barnes (Lorna Gillam).
The principal of Pam’s school was Mr Woodman (Victor Thorley).
The black & white episodes were broadcast live from New York on Thursday nights. Sponsors included Oldsmobile and General Foods.
A blatant piece of network promotion was visible in the Blake household – an NBC peacock screen took pride of place in the living room fireplace!
