(ABC Primetime, 1964 - 1965) [This sitcom was an attempt to take the man who defined the word "crooner" and turn his personal life into a comedy alá "Burns & Allen", "Father Knows Best" or perhaps more like "Ozzie and Harriet"; The situation was that a former singer (played by Bing of course) decided to retire from show business and become (of all things) an electrical engineer; The role of his wife was played by Barbara Garland; The characters also had two daughters; Somehow, between managing the predictable domestic crises, Bing's character managed to work a song into every episode -- something not even band singer Ozzie Nelson dared to try on his TV show (although son Ricky was indulged); This far-fetched contrivance was put out of its misery after a single season; Too bad, since Bing Crosby Productions had produced many other successful series; But the one for the boss bombed]
