Some time ago here, we had some postings about My Living Doll, a one-season (1964) CBS sitcom that starred Bob Cummings and Julie Newmar. It was intended to replicate the recent success of the same producer's My Favorite Martian on the same network. The formula went kind of like this: Here's this normal-but-excitable person and they suddenly have in their life this alien, inhuman creature who looks normal but whose very presence and odd powers creates all sorts of problems. And then each week is about the normal-but-excitable person trying to deal with one such problem while keeping the inhuman creature's secret a secret.
In this case, the normal-but-excitable person was a swinging bachelor played by Mr. Cummings. The inhuman creature was a lifelike female robot played by Ms. Newmar. Given Mr. Cummings' age at the time, I thought she was more believable as a robot than he was as a swinging bachelor but what do I know? The series, which was picked up by CBS without a pilot, didn't catch on and there was much sturm und drang on the set…so much so that after 21 of its 26 episodes, Cummings abruptly departed. Was he fired or did he quit? Reportedly, it was a little of each but since he'd been carrying the bulk of the storylines, that was not a minor change. By that point, they probably all knew it was over and were just filling out the order.
Eleven episodes have been put out on a DVD set you can purchase here. It's Volume One but a Volume Two does not appear likely. The negatives of the show were reportedly destroyed and so the assemblers of the DVD were limited to using 16mm prints in the hands of collectors, and could only find eleven. There have been rumors that other episodes have been located — or may soon be located — but last I heard, they were just rumors.
Here's the first part of the first episode and I doubt you'll make it all the way through…
