Sitcom "Hey Landlord" TV Closing 1966 - 1967

Hey, Landlord was an American sitcom that appeared on NBC during the 1966-1967 season, sponsored by Procter & Gamble in their 8:30-9pm Eastern time period on Sunday nights, following Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color.

Plot, Cast, and Characters
This series starred Will Hutchins as Woody Banner, who learns that his uncle has died and that he has inherited from him his New York City brownstone apartment building in Manhattan's East 30s as its landlord. Some of the other tenants in the building were Sandy Baron as comedian Chuck Hookstratten, Jack (Michael Constantine) who was a photographer, glamorous Theresa (Pamela Rodgers) and her roommate/best friend Kyoto (Miko Mayama), who always yells, "Hey, Landlord!" thus giving the show its title. Other co-stars were Ann Morgan Guilbert, and Kathryn Minner, who at the time specialized in playing little old ladies. Sally Field later appeared in several episodes as Woody's visiting sister Bonnie.

I was 9 when this show was on, and I have vague memories of it. Pamela Rodgers was HOT!

@jeprice08 I just thought of something to put between "Jack's got to be loving this!" and A few seconds later..., Woody asks Chuck, "Chuck, how do you think Dick Clark would handle a situation like this?" And Chuck replies, 'How would I know? This ain't American Bandstand!"

@bradleyjstevens You can relax, man! It's not on the list! The worst was The Jerry Springer Show!

That's the genius of Quincy Jones! He can take a simple-sounding sound and make it sing!

I just thought of an ending for this episode, based on the music and seeing those people that I think are playing instruments. Woody is calmly and nicely trying to quiet them down and they won't. Sooner or later, he gives up and sarcastically says, "Jack's got to be loving this!" A few seconds later, the phone rings (probably Jack) and Woody looks to Chuck and sarcastically asks, "You want me to get that?" End of episode.

I have been wanting to know for a long time which company's logo if any would be at the end since I had seen this show listed in a book of tv shows past present.

They should put this show on DVD. They've they released "Pink Lady and Jeff" on DVD, so why not something obviously better?

This series was (or, at least, tried to be) "better than average" because Garry Marshall & Jerry Belson created and produced it [their first, after writing for Lucille Ball and Dick Van Dyke]. But as Marshall later recalled, he felt that he and Jerry weren't quite ready to tackle their own series. It wasn't until their adaptation of "THE ODD COUPLE" when they finally "got it right"...

@Neville6000 : You're right, Paramount has done that with Mannix, though the Desilu--produced episodes still have that logo followed by the CBS Distribution logo. 20th Century-Fox replaced all their old logos with brand-spanking new ones with the News Corp byline on the bottom.
