The same people who brought you The Dick Van Dyke Show and That Girl scored another innovative sitcom
in 1967 with Good Morning World. Bill Persky and Sam Denoff's creation, which aired Tuesday nights on CBS, was the first-ever
TV series set in a radio station and featured the on and off air adventures of a pair of morning DJ's.
Joby
Baker and Ronnie Schell starred as Dave Lewis and Larry Clark, with Julie Parrish as Dave's wife Linda, Vaudeville veteran
Billy De Wolfe as their stuffy but loveable boss Roland Hutton - and a little blonde dancer in her first acting role named
Goldie Hawn.
This behind-the-scenes look at the making of the Persky-Denoff creation features exclusive interviews
with Good Morning World - creators and surviving stars. You'll be surprised that the idea for the series came from a real
radio station, how CBS turned thumbs down on the first pilot episode, the behind-the-scenes drama and the what-might-have-been
- if the series had gone a second season.
You will hold an impressive slice of TV history in your hands. Good
Morning World was a trailblazer and paved the way for later shows like WKRP in Cincinnati, Frazier and NewsRadio.
