The Jimmy Stewart Show
James Stewart
made a rare sojourn into the world of Situation Comedy on NBC at the
dawn of the Seventies. His gift for comedy, on grand cinema display
since the dawn of his career, made him a congenial fit for the familial
world of episodic comedy. Stewart plays Professor James Howard, an
anthropologist struggling to make sense of the generation gap with his
college students and just plain struggling to make sense of his own
family. Jim and wife Martha are busy raising an eight-year-old, as is
their twenty-nine-year-old first born, Peter (James Daly) and his wife,
Wendy (Ellen Geer). And Uncle Teddy (Dennis Larson) is sure to demand
the proper respect from his five-day-older nephew, Jake (Kirby Furlong).
Its a good thing Jim has a Nobel Prize-winning best friend, chemistry
professor Dr. Luther Quince (John McGiver) to help make sense of the
chaos, especially after a house fire forces Peters family to move in
with Jims! 1971-72- BW – 24 Episodes. 3 DVD Set. The series only lasted
one season and 24 episodes. They are all included in this rare set. Available from
Nostalgia Merchant.
