BACHELOR FATHER (CBS 1957-1959, NBC 1959-1961, ABC 1961-1962) John Forsythe, Noreen Corcoran, Sammee Tong
Join distinguished Beverly Hills attorney Bentley Gregg (John Forsythe) as he takes on the unexpected challenge of raising his young orphaned niece, Kelly (Noreen Corcoran), after the tragic loss of her parents. With the assistance of his loyal houseboy Peter (Sammee Tong), Bentley learns that balancing a successful legal career, an active social life, and the responsibilities of parenthood is no easy task.
As Kelly grows from a little girl into a spirited teenager, Bentley faces new challenges involving dating, friendships, and the many adventures that come with adolescence. Filled with warmth, humor, and heart, Bachelor Father became one of television's most beloved family comedies.
The series featured an impressive lineup of guest stars, including Barbara Eden, Jack Albertson, Donna Douglas, Edgar Bergen, Bill Bixby, Billy Gray, Ryan O'Neal, Frankie Laine, Mary Tyler Moore, Patti Page, and many others. Notably, Eddie "Rochester" Anderson reprised his famous role from The Jack Benny Show in the fifth-season episode "Pinch That Penny." A young Linda Evans also appeared as one of Kelly's friends—years before she reunited with John Forsythe as his daughter Krystle's rival on Dynasty.
Based on the General Electric Theater presentation "A New Girl in His Life" (which is not available and therefore not included in this collection), Bachelor Father holds the unique distinction of being the only primetime television series to air on all three major networks—ABC, CBS, and NBC—in consecutive years.
This complete 16-DVD collection contains all 156 episodes of the classic television favorite, offering hours of timeless family entertainment.
Relive the charm, laughter, and memorable moments of one of television's most enduring sitcoms—a must-have for every classic TV collection.
