"Hey, Landlord" is an American sitcom that appeared on NBC during the 1966-1967 season. Will Hutchins stars as Woody Banner, a young man from Ohio who starts managing a New York City apartment building.

Cast and characters

This series starred Will Hutchins as the landlord Woody Banner, and Sandy Baron as tenant and comedian Chuck Hookstratten. Chuck, who was born in New York City, is constantly amazed by Woody's blind faith in other people's goodness. Some of the other tenants in the building were Jack (Michael Constantine) who was a photographer, glamorous Theresa (Pamela Rodgers) and her roommate/best friend Kyoto (Miko Mayama), who always yells, "Hey, Landlord!" thus giving the show its title. Other co-stars were Ann Morgan Guilbert, and Kathryn Minner, who at the time specialized in playing little old ladies. Guest stars, most of whom would later become famous in other roles, included David Ketchum, Sally Field, Rob Reiner, Kathleen Freeman, Naomi Stevens, Richard Dreyfuss and Noam Pitlik.

Plot

A young man from Ohio, Woody Banner, moves to Manhattan, New York, to learn more about life. But things becomes a bit more complicated for him after he learns that his uncle has died and that he has inherited from him his New York City brownstone apartment building in Manhattan's East 30s as its landlord. Woody plans to continue with his own life while living off of the proceeds that he'd expected from the tenants' rent, but he soon discovers that he has to find employment so that he can improve the building. While doing this, he also tries to keep the building's tenants happy and satisfied with his management. Woody also rents out his own apartment inside the building to Chuck, an up-and-coming stand-up comedian.

Production

The series, because of its placement against the more popular "The F.B.I." and "The Ed Sullivan Show", only produced 31 episodes, with the last original episode being aired on April 23, 1967.
