Based on the works of author/cartoonist James Thurber, John Monroe is a cartoonist who is unsatisfied with his work, concerned about his life's path and afraid of women. So, in his drawings he is king of the castle, but in real life he is dominated by his wife and terrified by his daughter. His belief is that women are only on this Earth to make his life difficult. The series aired on NBC to decent ratings and critical acclaim but for some reason the network canceled it after only one season. William Windom starred in the lead role as John Monroe. Joan Hotchkiss, Lisa Gerritsen, and Harold J. Stone co-starred. Windom won an Emmy for his performance. Several episodes of the series were shown again on CBS during the summer of 1972.

  Forgotten GemRating: 0 likes, 1 dislikesLike Saltttery's People, this show is sadly forgotten by all but the intelligent. I loved it back when I was twelve years old. II apprecaited its wry, subtle humor and its ironic outlook on life. Ever episode was inspired by a Thurber story or cartoon., and every episode blended live action and animation. Of course, it does not exist on DVD, while , lets be polite and use French, merde, like like " Friends" is easily available Read more Review posted on Sunday, June 13th 2010 at 5:04 am |
