As far as cute 1960s-style family sitcoms go, one of my favorites was Please Don't Eat the Daisies, which ran from 1965-1967. It starred Patricia Crowley and Mark Miller as the parents of four young sons, who all lived in an old oversized house with their sheepdog, Ladadog (named after the title of a then-famous dog novel, Lad: A Dog). The fun thing about the show was that the mother was not simply a cookie-cutter housewife who wore a dress and pearls at all times and kept a perfect house; she was a working writer who often overlooked the housework while concentrating on her writing. The husband was a professor and the kids were rambunctious without being obnoxious. The show had a cute theme song, too. I remember seeing it in reruns in the early 1970s, but since then, it seems to have been overlooked by retro TV cable stations. I wish a station such as Antenna or Me TV would pick it up and show it now and then, instead of the reruns of such drivel as Small Wonder and Three's a Crowd that they've been showing.
