A trio of bachelors living on a houseboat, with one serving as a guardian for his nephew, should've been a formula for success.
It's a Man's World, however, lasted just half a season on NBC, cancelled in the winter of 1962-3, just shy of 5 months on the air. Glenn Corbett, Ted Bessell, & Randy Boone are the bachelors, and all three actors would move on to better things, Corbett sooner than most. Critics loved the show, but viewers voted with their own preferences.
Let's check a sample episode with a pre-Gilligan's Island Dawn Wells.
Just weeks after cancellation, Corbett moved over to Route 66, replacing George Maharis. Boone, presumably under contract to Revue/Universal, joined the cast of The Virginian. You know Bessell's history (Gomer Pyle, That Girl).
No rating. Just a public service.

When I look up info on San Pedro Beach Bums, this show has been mentioned.
Yep. Aaron Spelling, who produced San Pedro Beach Bums back in '76, copied the concept of this show.
