The Courtship of Eddie's Father - The Complete First Season DVD Review

Sharing little with the 1963 film upon which it was based, The Courtship of Eddie's Father broke new ground on television while quickly finding its way into the nation's heart. Overseen by creator James Komack (who would also play supporting character Norman Tinker), The Courtship of Eddie's Father wisely focused on the relationship between magazine executive Tom Corbett (Bill Bixby) and his grade-schooler son Eddie (Brandon Cruz), as epitomized by Harry Nilsson's classic theme song "Best Friend." Not to be forgotten are the contributions of Corbett's housekeeper, Mrs. Livingston (Miyoshi Umeki) who helps make the father-son household a happy, high-spirited home. Among the first season guest stars to keep an eye out for in this 4-Disc, 26-Episode Collection is a young Jodie Foster in a recurring role as Joey, Eddie's tomboy nemesis.
