To Rome With Love

"To Rome With Love" was a situation comedy aired in the United States by CBS from September 1969 to September 1971.

"To Rome With Love" was the story of a widowed college professor, Michael Endicott, who decided to leave his native Iowa following the death of his wife and accept a new position as an instructor at the American Overseas School of Rome.The culture shock of his three daughters in reacting to their new environment, and, to an extent, his own, provided the main humor in the series. Family situations provided most of the rest. Early on, much of this came from Endicott's single sister Harriet who had accompanied them to Rome, apparently for the sole purposes of dissuading them from living there and to cajole them into returning to Iowa. Harriet soon departed, but her place was taken shortly afterward by Andy Pruitt, Endicott's father-in-law and the children's grandfather. He came to Rome for a brief visit with them but wound up staying indefinitely.

Originally airing on Sunday nights, "To Rome With Love" was switched to Tuesdays at 9:30 in September 1970. In January, it shifted to Wednesdays to make room for a new CBS sitcom: "All In The Family".
