Back to School Week: Boynton vs. Bundy (Alcoa Theatre, 1959)

 From season 2 of Alcoa Theatre:

A well meaning freshman faces the prospect of near instant expulsion from college on his first day. 

"Boynton vs. Bundy" was a pilot that never got past its initial broadcast in May 1959. There are some familiar faces, including Bert Convy, Raymond Bailey (3 years before Beverly Hillbillies), and Madge Blake, who recurred on Leave it to Beaver at the time. Robert Trumbull is the "Bundy" in the title.

The vibe I get from this is trying to take the basic concept of a high school sitcom, and move it into college. The producers were in over their heads with this one, and the viewers realized this.
