Destry is an example of another Western show that we just have to revisit. The show was actually rushed into production to accommodate star John Gavin, who wasn’t so available. It was actually based on a Western film called Destry Rides Again from 1939. The show features a cop who is somewhat of a marksman with guns but harbors anti-violence beliefs.

My Living Doll

Starring: Bob Cummings, Julie Newmar, Jack Mullaney, Doris Dowling
First Aired: September 27, 1964
Number of Seasons: 1
Estimated Production Cost: $500/week* My Living Doll was a unique sci-fi sitcom that kicked off in an unusual way. Most of the time, a major network show has a pilot request, but this wasn’t the case for My Living Doll. The show revoles around Dr. McDonald while he tries to help an Amazonian robot fit into regular society. They spend a lot of time evading the US military.
