The Paul Lynde Show (1972)

Lynde plays Paul Simms, an attorney who doesn’t spend much time in court, and a family man who doesn’t seem to care much for his family. You can make a protagonist this misanthropic work with good material, but there wasn't much of that here. Still, there are a few laughs in the episodes I’ve seen, because it’s almost impossible to make Paul Lynde not funny. Ferdin plays the family’s youngest daughter Sally, described by her dad as “too old to spank, too young for a religious sacrifice.” This was Ferdin’s longest recurring role – she appears in all 26 episodes.

She was definitely everywhere in the early 70s. Besides the Paul Lynde show, her most iconic roles IMHO were in the Brady Bunch and a fantastic episode of The Night Gallery.
