Big John, Little John aired from September 1976 to September 1977 on NBC.
Saturday-morning sitcom about a fourty-five year-old science teacher, who, after drinking from a "fountain of youth," changes into a twelve-year-old(and back again) at imopportune times.
Schoolteacher John Martin discovered the fountain of youth in Florida. He drank from it, and nothing happened—until he was doused with water. Then, he turned into cousin Oliver from The Brady Bunch. Well, not exactly, but he did turn into a twelve-year-old boy played by the actor Robbie Rist. Sadly, this would happen completely at random, and it was a permanent condition.
John's wife and son knew of his dilemma, and would cover for the inopportune transformations with various stratagems. The family even went so far as to claim that “Little John” was actually John’s nephew. Co-workers and other observers were suspicious, but never learned the truth. There was one show where “Big John” attempted to confess what had happened to him, but he failed.
The show, which, incidentally, was created by Brady Bunch creator Sherwood Schwartz, was consistently crushed in the ratings, and only lasted one season.
With Herb Edelman as the adult John Martin (Big John); Robbie Rist as the young John Martin (Little John); Joyce Bullifant as his wife Marjorie; Mike Darnell as their son, Ricky; and Olive Dunbar as Miss Bertha Bottomly, the school principal.
Created by Sherwood Schwartz and Lloyd J. Schwartz.
