"Lenny" is an American sitcom aired by CBS as part of its 1990-91 prime time schedule.

ynopsis

"Lenny" starred long-time Boston stand-up comedian Lenny Clarke as Lenny Callahan, a working-class Bostonian who held down two jobs, a daytime one as laborer for the local electric utility and an evening one as a doorman at a posh hotel. His wife, Shelley (Lee Garlington) was a fulltime homemaker and the couple had three children (presumably the reason Lenny needed to keep two jobs). One of their daughters, Kelly, was played by Jenna von Oÿ. Other characters included Lenny's brother Eddie (Peter Dobson), a get-rich-quick schemer, and their parents, Pat (Eugene Roche) and Mary (Alice Drummond).

Initially scheduled against two established programs, the Top 30 show "The Wonder Years" on ABC and the Top 20 hit "Unsolved Mysteries" on NBC, "Lenny" was a Nielsen ratings disaster and put on hiatus in October. It was brought back in a new time slot in December, but cancelled permanently in March 1991.
