LOVE, AMERICAN STYLE - Love and the Legend

Air Date/Released Friday, January 5, 1973
Station/Studio ABC / Paramount Studios
Featuring Joe Besser (Solo)

A one-hour comedy anthology series, each episode featured three to four playlets, all dealing in the subject of love. Short comedy blackout sequences, starring a regular roster of actors including Bernie Kopell, Stuart Margolin, Tracy Reed and James Hampton, were interspersed between the playlets.

A man and his wife leave New York and purchase a southern mansion. Overnight, her usual overbearing, nagging manner is replaced with an endearing and loving personality. Harley (Joe Besser), the duck pond caretaker, informs Lee that Agnes has been possessed by the 18th century spirit of Claire Whitman, who once owned the mansion, but was murdered by her husband for an unconsummated affair with the butler. But if Turner makes love to the sensuous 'Claire,' her spirit will finally find rest, and Agnes will return... something Lee doesn't necessarily want.


The show was syndicated in a re-edited 1/2-hour format, which is how it is usually seen on television; home video releases are the original 1-hour format.

Cast: David White (Lee Turner), Joanna Barnes (Agnes Turner), Joe Besser (Harley)

Crew: Jim Parker, Arnold Margolin (Executive Producers), William P. D'Angelo (Producer), Charles R. Rondeau (Director), Lloyd Garver, Ken Hecht (Writers)
