Debbie Reynolds in The Debbie Reynolds Show (1969)

Debbie Thompson (Reynolds) is wife to Jim (Don Chastain), a successful sports reporter herself. Unsatisfied at home, she spends her time scheming to become a reporter, assisted by her sister Charlotte. Their schemes get them in all sort of trouble and exasperates Jim, who just wants his wife to stay home and keep house. Is this sounding familiar? Perhaps because the show was produced by one of the former writers on I Love Lucy - Jess Oppenheimer and featured the writing talents of Bob Carroll Jr. and Madelyn Davis, also Lucy veterans.

This series was only on for one season, which isn't surprising, considering how the somewhat tone deaf concept failed to take into account the changing times. Debbie is delightful in it, however, displaying her knack for physical comedy. Look for Tom Bosley as her brother-in-law. The series can be hard to find. It's never made it to DVD and the only presence it has on YouTube is the network promo for it. It's above, uploaded by MattTheSaiyn.

Obscurity factor: 9 (hard to find, not on DVD, largely forgotten)
