Ivan the Terrible (TV series)

Ivan the Terrible (TV series)

"Ivan the Terrible" was an American sitcom that aired on CBS for five episodes during 1976.

The short-lived series parodied American attitudes towards the Soviet Union during the height of the Cold War. Set in Moscow, the sitcom starred Lou Jacobi as a Russian hotel waiter named Ivan Petrovsky, and the day-to-day misadventures of Ivan's family and their Cuban exchange student boarder, all of whom live in a cramped, one-bedroom apartment.

Also appearing in this series were Christopher Hewett, Phil Leeds, Alan Cauldwell and, in her TV series debut, Nana Visitor (here billed under her birth name, Nana Tucker).

The executive producer of this series was noted comic, Alan King.
