I was 7 years old when I first watched this - thought it was hysterical. Watching it again, it still is.
So well written and perfectly cast. Also, in retrospect, pretty groundbreaking in being racially integrated and offering Jewish story lines. Comedy, but at no one's expense.
Fantastic cast - with two future Munsters, Nipsey Russell and Charlotte Rae. One character who I didn't appreciate then was Paul Reed as Captain Block. Oh those eye rolls when it came to Gunther Toody. Priceless!
Toody - with his "ooh ooh" and "Do you mind? DO. YOU. MIND?" may be the funniest character of all time. The hammy portrayal by Joe E. Ross was PERFECT - only Don Knotts as Barney Fife compares in the 60s comedies.
Too bad it was cancelled after two seasons - to give an extra half hour to the 90 minute The Virginians, of all things. Great show...
