The Debbie Reynolds Show ran from September 1969 until September 1970 on NBC.
This situation comedy was NBC's attempt to rival CBS's 1968 hit, The Doris Day Show. Like Doris Day, Debbie Reynolds was a popular and talented film star, and like Day she had not appeared in a dramatic role on television before. Created by Jess Oppenheimer ( I Love Lucy), the show featured Reynolds as Debbie Thompson, a housewife who longed to be a sportspaperwoman. Her husband Jim ( Don Chastain), was a sports columnist for the Los Angeles Sun(Note the parallel between this show and I Love Lucy-in each the housewife wanted to break into her husband's line of work). Debbie's efforts to create more excitement for herself than her life in the suburbs often got her into all sorts of strange situations, much to the consteration of her husband Jim. Debbie was often helped along by her sister Charlotte ( Patricia Smith). The long suffering members of Charlotte's family were her son Bob ( Tom Bosley), and their son Bruce( Bobby Riha).
Debbie Reynolds who owned a 50% interest in the show, had originally been guaranteed a two year run by NBC. Infuriated by the fact that the show was sponsored by a cigarette manufacturer, she relinquished the second season guarantee in exchange for the network's agreement to drop the cigarette sponsorship.
