A half-season wonder starring Burl Ives as an unsophisticated oil tycoon raising three children (the oldest played by Brooke Adams).

Maybe the plot would have worked better for a Disney movie.

O.K. Crackerby wasn't a bad show but it didn't have a fair chance ratings wise because ABC placed it on Thursday nights opposite CBS ratings success My Three Sons. Crackerby lasted for 17 episodes, after which a show titled "The Double Life Of Henry Phyfe" took over the time slot, then it too was cancelled after 17 episodes.

Would be nice if the complete series/17 episodes of O.K. Crackerby would get a DVD release but I doubt it will happen, so the videos that can be found on You Tube are better than nothing.
