(NBC Primetime, 1969 - 1970) [In the spirit of "I Love Lucy", "The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show" and "My Little Margie", film star Debbie Reynolds played a slightly ditzy young woman whose well-meaning efforts to deal with the vicissitudes of life lead to complications; Perhaps this formula was tried because the series was produced by Jess Oppenheimer, producer of the classic "I Love Lucy"; But by the late 1960s, this premise had been explored in many sitcoms; unfortunately this series didn't have a particularly original twist on the formula, despite a cast that included support from Don Chastain and veteran character actor (and voice actor) Tom Bosley; the series only lasted one season; Reynolds starred on TV in one subsequent ABC series over a decade later called "Aloha Paradise" (1981) which was also short-lived]
