I first watched this series..when it was reruned on WNEW TV Ch.5 in NYC weekday mornings back in the late 1950's. A truly funny show and my intro to Leo,Anne,Bob,Thurston,Lee and"Bucky The St.Bernard Dog"/"Neil".
I watched this late at night if I was allowed to sleep in the den on the pull-out bed, a rare privilege. For some reason, very old shows came on late at night: My Little Margie, Love That Bob, Topper. It scared the living shit out of me, with all those hats and gloves flying around by themselves. I never quite got the premise of the show. I read recently that one of the writers was Stephen Sondheim, who must've been like 25 years old.
I used to watch this when I was a kid. At the time, I had no idea that Robert Sterling and Anne Jeffreys were married in real life (and one of the few enduring marriages in Hollywood, along with Leo G. Carroll & his wife, Edith de Silva). I'd forgotten that Kathleen Freeman was in this as well.
I saw a recent photo of Anne Jeffreys; you would honestly never believe that she's nearly 88. Still gorgeous.
Except for "The Beverly Hillbillies" , no show ever on television was better cast than "Topper" Kathleen Freeman and Thurston Hall were PERFECT in their roles of housekeeper and Boss Leo G. Carroll deserved a Emmy Award. It is a shame that the reruns of "Topper" are not show on some cable network
Always loved this show. I saw every episode, I think. I especially enjoyed the funny counterpoint brought by the dog, Neil. Thanks for posting this!

Thanks for posting this. I remember the show very fondly . . . though it didn't age very well.

I wish they would bring back shows like this...I'm tired of the garbage on T.V. now.
