Robust Robot Talk in FILMFAX

While the various Catwoman dolls are selling well, so is the OTHER doll...the LIVING DOLL. The DVD set has gotten good reviews and people are discovering that the producers of "My Favorite Martian" did have another cult classic with this sitcom.

As most know, if "My Living Doll" hasn't been thrown up against powerhouse NBC Western "Bonanza," it probably would've been renewed for another season or two. Probably the other factor that caused CBS to pull the robot's plug was what to do for a co-star. By mutual consent, Bob Cummings had turned out to be a liability, but nobody was sure Jack Mullaney was the replacement. He wasn't a star name, and only had a few episodes to prove himself. Instead of starting a new season with Jack, or adding someone else, CBS had plenty of other sitcoms ready and waiting.
