The Tammy Grimes Show (3 of 3) ABC Thursday 8:30 PM Premiered:September 8, 1966 Last Aired:September 29, 1966 This sitcom was canceled after only four weeks.
Resolve the Superseltzer might have had more pain reliever and three antacids, but Alka-Seltzer had better advertising...that's why today Resolve is a carpet cleaner.
@fromthesidelines Since they used the cartoon Tammy blowing up the title balloon in the end credits, it looks like even by its debut they hadn't found a sponsor willing to make a commitment meriting an on-screen logo in the corner.
Because this is a black and white print, 'zibbyzubb'. Apparently, this was sent to one of ABC's affiliates for "delayed broadcast" purposes...that was NOT telecasting anything in color [very few ABC stations in the '60s had color broadcasting facilities, even after they finally started to program "all-color" prime-time schedules in the fall of 1966].
Notice during the closing credits that the show is "A Greenway Production." A number of the same crew members, such as Music Supervisor Lionel Newman, Production Supervisor Jack Sonntag, and Exec. Producer Assistant Charles FitzSimons also worked on William Dozier's other TV series: Batman and The Green Hornet. 'Tammy Grimes' was, unfortunately, Greenway's shortest-lived show. But one could say that Dozier's company was the Miller-Boyett of its day, when it came to ABC programs.
Radar indicates unidentified vessel, 100 yards ahead. Kinda late isn't it? Radar must be by Hasbro. Funny how some shows just grind on you. The Lucy Show was one. And anything with Dick Sargeant. This is the first time I've seen this one. Glad I did. Even the theme song would have had me running for the channel changer knob. The acting was positively atrocious, as well as the writing. Tammy is easy to look at though. Did any of William Dozier's shows actually have good scripts and acting? Thanks
Her full character name was "Tamantha" as an homage to the name "Samantha" the character she would have played had she accepted the role on "Bewitched"-

@Cindylover1969 When you've got a bunch of Oscars on the mantle, you can downplay your youthful indiscretions.

John(ny) Williams also wrote the theme for Irwin Allen's "THE TIME TUNNEL" that season, 'Cindy'.

Color? In the credits at the end it credits Color by Deluxe. Why is this in black and white?

According to IMDb, Ms. Grimes was born in Boston, MA. So she's American through and through. It's the accent.
