Tom, Dick and Mary was one of three situation comedies that collectively made up the NBC series 90 Bristol Court. The other two were Karen and Harris Against the World.
Young intern Dr Tom Gentry (Don Galloway) and his recent bride, medical secretary Mary (Joyce Bulifant), rented an apartment at 90 Bristol Court but their combined income did not quite stretch far enough to afford their rent.
So Tom’s best friend, Dick (Steve Franken) – also an intern – moved in with the Gentrys to share the costs of the apartment. The newlyweds were not thrilled having an extra person around, except when the rent was due.
Tom and Dick’s boss, the chief of staff at the hospital, was Dr Krevoy (John Hoyt), and as on Harris Against the World and Karen, Cliff Murdock (Guy Raymond) was also their handyman.
The series aired on Monday nights at 8.30 pm but – up against The Andy Griffith Show – Tom, Dick and Mary didn’t really have a chance and disappeared after 13 weeks.
Steve Franken died on 24 August 2012 at the age of 80.
