STORYLINE
Bob Collins (Bob Cummings) is a hip bachelor fashion photographer in swinging Hollywood CA. His womanizing with his models was the bane of his widowed sister Margaret MacDonald (Rosemary DeCamp) who was constantly trying to get him to settle down with a "nice girl". Also in the mix was his eccentric assistant "Schultzy" (Ann B. Davis )who, not so secretly wanted him for herself.He had a nephew, Chuck MacDonald (Dwayne Hickman) who became so popular with the young viewers that he got his own series (The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis) after The Bob Cummings show shut down.
Ann B Davis also went on to another successful sitcom, she would become Alice in "The Brady Bunch" for five seasons and Nancy Kulp played Miss Hathaway on The Beverly Hillbillies for nine years.
This was Paul Henning's first production but certainly not his last. he would also have such hits as The Beverly Hillbillies, Green Acres and Petticoat Junction.
