The New Bob Cummings Show

The New Bob Cummings Show

"The New Bob Cummings Show" was a television situation comedy which was broadcast by CBS during the 1961-62 television season.

"The New Bob Cummings Show"' began two years after production had ended on Cummings' previous, successful sitcom "The Bob Cummings Show", which, when the newer program began its run, was still being rerun on ABC's daytime schedule under the title "Love That Bob", which it was to retain through many years in syndication. The new program, like its predecessor, took advantage of Cummings' real-life interests; once again, the character he played, Bob Carson, was a pilot. Carson owned two planes, a conventional, twin-engine plane which he used for long trips, and the Aerocar, which, as its name implied, was a vehicle which could be alternately flown or, with its wing detached, driven on highways as an automobile, which he used for short hops near his California base. In addition to his activities as a charter pilot, Carson was an amateur detective, a fact which provided the basis for the plots of most of the episodes. In contrast to Cummings earlier program, which had several co-stars, the only recurring roles in "The New Bob Cummings Show" other than Cummings' own were that of "Lionel", Carson's bodyguard, played by Murvyn Vye, and "Hank", the tomboyish-yet-precocious teenage daughter of the owner of the airstrip where Carson's planes were based, played by Roberta Shore.

Unlike Cummings' previous sitcom, this program was not particularly successful and was cancelled before the season was over with the last episode being aired on March 1, 1962. The title of this program when it first appeared on the CBS schedule on October 5, 1961 was "The Bob Cummings Show"; however, this led to confusion between this program and his former one, so the title "The New Bob Cummings Show" was officially adopted beginning with the December 28 episode.
