Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!![edit]

I had to remove a so-called "fact". Comedy-drama was NOT an emerging TV genre in the early 70's. The first to air on a major television network included Mama back in 1949 to 1957, and The Goldbergs which aired from 1949 to 1956. Sometimes I wonder where people get their alledged "facts" from.

Why Japanese title?[edit]

Okay, can somebody explain to me why is there a Japanese title? (206.248.165.52 (talk) 10:58, 8 August 2011 (UTC))[reply]

need info on why it was cancelled[edit]

it it was a successful show as described in the article, then there should be info on why it was cancelled. I couldn't find anything on IMDB about either. — Preceding unsigned comment added by S2pid80it (talk • contribs) 17:13, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Belatedly seconding this request. Given the amount of unsupportable nonsense in this article, a source is required for the claim that it was "a ratings hit" in addition to explanation for why it was cancelled. Canonblack (talk) 13:38, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Dubious and wrong[edit]

The text describes Lillian Randolph and Rex Ingram as "previously unknown". Nothing is further from the truth. "Previously unknown" suggests new, struggling, still waiting for the "big break". Randolph may not have been a household name, but she had been a steadily working actress in Hollywood for decades; she was a regular voice actor in the Tom and Jerry cartoons and played the Baileys' housekeeper in It's a Wonderful Life. Ingram was very well known, having starred as Jim in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn with Mickey Rooney and as the genie in The Thief of Baghdad with Sabu. Neither of these seasoned actors could legitimately be described as "unknown". While I was going to simply flag this as "dubious", I instead have decided to remove the phrase.
