Does anyone remember the 1955-1960 CBS TV series The Millionaire starring Paul Frees and Marvin Miller? There were, in all, 206 episodes. The series was produced by Don Fedderson, who also did My Three Sons and Family Affair.

It appeared to be syndicated after at least the fall of 1976 but before 1981 because of the Viacom "V of Doom" logo variation at the end of each episode (still evident when MeTV last reran the series). It obviously didn't perform well in syndication and has not yet been released on DVD, perhaps, because of its generally low performance in syndication.

I love the show, I watched it often during the 70's in syndication and was grateful that ME-TV aired some episodes and hope they will again. Trivia note... Don Fedderson's wife, Tido, can be seen as an uncredited extra in almost every episode.

Yes, I watched some of The Millionaire when it aired on the Sunday Showcase on ME-TV. I liked it a lot. Hopefully, somebody will air it soon.

I liked it as well, I recorded the 16 episodes that aired recently on MeTV. I look forward to watching them again soon.

Let's have a look at Tido Fedderson (1915-2004), to help know who we're watching for in cameos:

Mother of Gregg Fedderson & Mike Minor. She had an uncredited role as a "court lady" in the spectacular 1956 film The Ten Commandments.
