The Bill Dana Show aired from September 1963 until January 1965 on NBC.
Writer-Comedian Bill Dana, whose character Jose Jimenez had a very successful career on records and in nightclubs following it's creation on THe Steve Allen Show, brought him to life for this series.Jose ( Bill Dana), was a Mexican immigrant who worked as a bellhop at The Park Central Hotel. Not only did he work there, it was practically his entire world; he lived in special bachelor quarters provided for by hotel employees, ate in the hotel kitchen, and had social contact only with employees and guests of the hotel. In his goodhearted naivete he saw only the good in the people around him. His biggest problems were his fellow bellhop Eddie( Gary Crosby), who was constantly trying to get him to wise up; the less-then-understanding hotel manager Mr. Phillips ( Jonathan Harris); and the not to brilliant hotel detective Byron Glick ( Don Adams). Walter Mitty-like dream sequences were ocasionally used to extricate Jose from the hotel ronment.
One note Irving Szathmary who was credited with the music in the series, was the brother of star Bill Dana whose real name was William Szathmary.
