Gene Kelly presides over a 10 piece troupe of actors presented as married couples in the short lived sketch series, The Funny Side, which lasted half a season on NBC.
The cast includes everyone's favorite senior citizen, Burt Mustin, Warren Berlinger, husband & wife writers Dick Clair & Jenna McMahon, 2nd generation actor Michael Lembeck, in his first series gig, Cindy Williams, Teresa Graves (coming over from Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In), and John Amos, who left The Mary Tyler Moore Show. Pat Finley also appeared on Moore during season 1.
The topic in this sampler is "consumers", but only the open & close are available.
Series creators Bill Persky & Sam Denoff (ex-That Girl) sold another series, Lotsa Luck with Dom DeLuise & Kathleen Freeman, to NBC the next year, co-created with Carl Reiner.
No rating. Just a public service.
