I think I have seen every Doris Day movies made but I swear I can't remember ever hearing of (or watching) this show when it ran on TV. I found the Disc 1 from season 1 DVD and love it.
It's way past time for Doris to receive that special Oscar everyone has been predicting.
I was a child of 7 yrs old when it first aired but dont remember the early seasons. I vaguely remember the last 2. I cant recall episodes. I just remember I didnt like Mr. Jarvis and I remember her coming down the spiral staircase in the opening and Jackie Joseph, I remember her working with her at the office and also Kaye Ballard. I remember those items but not specifics. I never saw the ones with the kids until now. I have been watching the first season and I love it and the kids too. The youngest kid was born the same yr as me.
shareI'm sort of like you; I have a vague memory of watching it but not of any particular episodes (watching some YouTube clips now may explain that; it was a pretty benign show).
I remember "Que Sera Sera" being sung in the opening credits, and I remember Rose Marie and Jackie Joseph, and the Cy character (mainly her saying "Cy"). And I recall wondering one year what happened to her kids. That's about it.
I just watched a bit of a clip (from season 3, I think) where she's the secretary at the magazine and McLean Stevenson sends her to try and get serialization rights from a body builder (not by today's standards)/health food nut who wrote a book. It's pretty thinly written and silly, as I guess most sitcoms were then.

(I was a big fan of Doris Day in movies, and of her music; this show, I guess, not so much. There just wasn't much there to remember.)
I'm watching a Christmas episode tonight on MeTV what surprised me was the cast is so full of familiar names, pretty impressive.
shareI was 8 when the show went off the air, yet I never saw any first-run episodes. Guess my parents were watching something else at the time. First time I saw the show was during the mid-'80s. Of course, it was hard not seeing one of her movies on television as a kid during the '70s, so her name was one that seems like I have always known of.
No blah, blah, blah!
My theory on that (I don't really remember it either) is that it never went into syndication like a lot of other series of the 60's and early 70's. I probably wouldn't have even known to watch The Brady Bunch as a kid if reruns didn't also play on TV after school.
