A mash up of Barefoot in the Park, Love on the Rooftop (Owen Madden has the right idea) and the Doris Day/Rock Hudson sophisticated comedies of the day. If I had to guess why it didn't get picked up it would be because the scope of the subject was so limited. The minute they got together the sparks would have dissipated. The movie versions of this type of story had a one-shot sustainability.

Cool to see Hal Kanter outlining where he wanted the series to go.

Mr. Lockwood clearly showed that he had great range as a actor. I've always loved campy comedies.

Watch him in Model shop superb film.

Not sure why it was unsold. It’s watchable for the time it was made. I’m a bit surprised because most of these unsold pilots are dreadful.

If this show was picked up as a regular series , Gary Lockwood couldn't have played Frank Poole in 2001. I believe they started shooting that movie in early 1966. I'll say one thing,: he's a lot more lively and animated here than as Frank.

This was fun. Would have come between Gary's series for Gene Roddenberry, THE LIEUTENANT, and his role in Roddenberry's second STAR TREK pilot. Before he married Stefanie Powers, even. Some nice location footage, too. Vaguely reminds me of the later British series, NO, HONESTLY, where a married couple reminisce about their often rocky courtship. You know they get together eventually but every week you have to ask yourself how!
