Sheldon Leonard had his greatest successes as a producer for CBS (i.e. The Dick Van Dyke Show) and NBC (I Spy), but he also had his share of clunkers, and as the 70's began, the clunkers began to outnumber the hits, as Leonard had flopped with My World.....And Welcome to It in 1969.
His first, and probably only, sale to ABC was 1971's Shirley's World, a co-production with England's ITC, which was giving ABC its first half hour comedy. Shirley MacLaine toplined as photographer Shirley Logan, hired to work for a British magazine. Unfortunately, the series lasted just 17 episodes, and spelled the end for Leonard as a producer. Full episodes are not available on YouTube, so we just have a sample open-close.
No rating. Never saw the show.
