Air Date/Released Saturday, April 4, 1964

Featuring Joe Besser (Solo)

Joey Barnes hosts a network, late-night New York talk show. Episodes revolve around his professional and personal life, with celebrities appearing as themselves. At home are Joey's beautiful wife Abby, and maid Hilda. Joe Besser costars as Mr. Jillson, the barely competent apartment building superintendent, a high-strung man with a heart of gold. Rounding out the main characters is Larry Corbett, Joey's best friend, head writer and manager.

Joey and Ellie head to a Catskills lodge reunion with his old performing partners. In flashback Joey tells, how 10 years earlier, they spent a rain-soaked month entertaining an increasingly frustrated group of guests, and a hostile hotel manager.


In the series' 2nd and 3rd seasons it aired in color, one of the first situation comedies to do so.
